Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV25-074

APPLICANT: Paulina Isi Iyere; 1174 Romona Place; Columbus, OH 43204.

WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.

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 R-2, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the existing dwelling to be used as a Type A family child care home. A Council variance is required because while the R-2 district allows Type B family child care homes and child day care centers as accessory uses to religious facilities and schools, it does not allow a Type A family child care home. A variance to reduce required parking from five spaces to two spaces is also included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Low-Medium Density Residential” land uses at this location and is subject to Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Since the primary use of the property will remain a single-unit dwelling, Staff has no objection to the requested Type A family child care home, which must also comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements and be inspected.
