Explanation
Council Variance: CV04-034.
APPLICANT: Northstar Realty; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty., Smith and Hale; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: To permit commercial vehicular uses.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This Council variance will permit an accessory commercial use in the L-AR-12, Limited Apartment Residential District by allowing the use of an existing private driveway in an apartment residential zoning district to provide commercial vehicular access to an adjacent L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. The proposed Council variance is consistent with the goals of the East Broad Street Study (2000) in that use of the existing private drive for commercial traffic will reduce the number of full service curb cuts required along this section of East Broad Street. A hardship exists in that use of a private driveway in the L-AR-12 zoning district for commercial traffic to access the adjacent commercially zoned property establishes an accessory commercial use that can only be permitted by a Council variance.
