Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-017
APPLICANT: Arlington Resources, Ltd.; c/o Eric Zartman, Atty.; Underhill & Hodge LLC; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Storage use within a mixed-use development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel partially developed with a monopole telecommunications tower in the C-2, Commercial District. The requested Council variance will permit storage uses in addition to a leasing office and three residential units on the second floor which are already permitted uses of the C-2 district. A Council variance is necessary because the C-2 district does not permit storage uses or dwellings above storage uses. Also included in the request are variances to reduce drive aisle and maneuvering along a property line of a parcel that is also owned by the applicant, and a reduction for distance separation of less objectionable uses from adjacent residential districts. The site is within the planning area of The Northwest Plan (2016), which recommends “Community Commercial” uses at this location. While the Plan’s recommendation does not support the storage use, it is complementary to other permitted uses. The building design has been reviewed by the Planning Division and found to be consistent with Plan recommendations.
