Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV04-032

APPLICANT: BDT Investment Company; c/o Sheila Nolan Gartland, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street, Columbus, Ohio 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Automotive body shop, maintenance, and repair.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the M-1, Manufacturing District, and developed with an industrial building. Half of the building is currently being used as an automobile body shop, but has no established use of record. The requested Council variance will conform the existing automotive body shop and allow an expansion for paint spray booths and other automotive maintenance or repair uses within the existing building. Automotive body shops, maintenance, and repair facilities are not permitted in the M-1, Manufacturing District. A hardship exists in that half of the existing building is currently being used as an automotive body shop, and the applicant cannot expand within the existing structure for additional automotive uses without a Council variance. The proposed use is appropriate at this location, and is consistent with development patterns in the area.
