Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-007
APPLICANT: Nante Konate; 1260 Chesterton Lane; Columbus, OH 43229.
PROPOSED USE: Type A family child care home.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the SR, Suburban Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the dwelling to be used as a Type A family child care home, which is not an allowed use in the SR district. Since the primary use of the property will still be a single-unit dwelling, Staff has no objection to the requested use, which must comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements. The request also includes a variance to required parking, which is supported by Staff.
Title
To grant a Variance from the provisions of Sections 3332.029, SR, suburban residential district; and 3312.49, Required parking, of the Columbus City Codes; for the property located at 1260 CHESTERTON LN. (43229), to allow a Type A family child care home with reduced required parking in the SR, Suburban Residential District (Council Variance #CV25-007).

WHEREAS, Section 3332.029, SR, suburban residential district, allows only Type B family child care homes for up to six children, or child day care centers as accessory uses to a religious facility or school, while the applicant proposes to operate a Type A family child care home for a maximum of 12 children within an existing single-unit dwelling; and
WHEREAS, Section 3312.49, Required parking, requires two parking spaces for the single-unit dwelling use, and one parking space per 500 square feet of day care facility space, a total requirement of six spaces, while the applicant proposes two spaces; and
