Explanation

Council Variance Application CV15-026

APPLICANT: CGL Holdings, LLC; c/o Keith B Keplinger; 6790 Charles Road; Westerville, Ohio 43082.

PROPOSED USE: Video and film production and equipment rental facility, with reduced UCO standards.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Z15-024) to the C-3, Commercial District for the development of a video and film production and equipment rental facility.

As an alternative to the window glazing requirements, the applicant is committing to an elevation drawing which incorporates faux glass and other architectural features along the Cleveland Avenue façade.
