Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-042
APPLICANT: Christopher Bruzzese; 1398 Goodale Boulevard; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Medical office as an accessory use within an apartment complex.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a 100-unit supportive housing apartment complex for formerly homeless and/or low income families and is zoned in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District. The applicant proposes to convert part of the club house building into a medical office suite to serve the residents of the complex. Staff supports this request noting that the addition of a small on-site medical office to improve the quality of life for residents of an existing supportive housing complex will not introduce an inappropriate or incompatible use to the area.
