Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-140
APPLICANT: Michael Uloko; c/o Patrick Walker, Agent; 401 North Front Street, Suite 380; Columbus, OH 43215
PROPOSED USE: Natural gas regulation station.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a multi-unit residential development in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow construction of a natural gas regulation station. A Council variance is required because the R-2F district does not allow commercial uses. The request includes variances to maximum and minimum side yards, rear yard, and rooftop telecommunications installation requirements. The site is located with the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Multifamily” land uses at this location. Although the proposal is inconsistent with the Plan’s recommended land use, staff recognize the institutional nature of the use and therefore support the proposal. Additionally, the provided screening, as shown on the site plan, is consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines.
