Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-085
APPLICANT: Courtney Walker, c/o Tiffany Kroninger, Agent; 97 Vaughn Road; Delaware, OH 43015.
PROPOSED USE: Barber shop, beauty salon, and nail salon uses.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a commercial office building in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District as allowed by Ordinance #0497-85 (Z84-138; Sub-Area 2), passed on March 18, 1985. The requested variance will allow barber shop, beauty salon, and nail salon uses, with other ancillary personal spa and salon services in Unit A of the existing commercial building. A Council variance is required because this subarea of the CPD district only allows office and institutional uses. No other variances are included in this request. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Mixed Use (Community)” land uses at this location, consistent with the request. Since the primary use of the property will remain commercial, and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area, Staff recommends approval.
