Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV03-012
APPLICANT: State Street/Schrock Development, Inc. c/o Jackson B. Reynolds III. Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will allow a fraternal organization in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. A Council variance is necessary in that the development plan for the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District specifically prohibits private club uses, including fraternal organizations. A hardship exists in that a Council variance is able to specifically limit the type of private club to be permitted, whereas rezoning the property to allow private club uses would permit other uses found under the private club definition that may not be appropriate for the area.
