Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-086
APPLICANT: Forward Health LLC; c/o Alex Medvec; 6020 Groveport Road; Groveport, OH 43125
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
UNIVERSITY IMPACT DISTRICT REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
PROPOSED USE: Medical office.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a rooming house in the AR-4, Apartment Residential District, and is subject to the University District Zoning Overlay (UDZO). The requested Council Variance will allow the existing building to be repurposed with a medical office. A Council variance is required because the AR-4 district does not allow medical office uses. Variances to required parking and lot width are also included in the request. The site is within the planning area of the University District Plan (2015), which recommends “Medium Intensity Residential” land uses at this location. Staff notes that the proposal is generally consistent with Plan’s design guidelines and with the existing mixed-use character of this portion of the North 4th Street corridor. Additionally, the proposed use will preserve a contributing structure that will remain externally unchanged.
