Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-010

APPLICANT: Strait Real Estate & Arnold Lumber Investments II LLC; c/o Thomas Hart, Atty.; 5029 Cemetery Road; Hilliard, OH 43206.

PROPOSED USE: Manufacturing and lumber yard.

GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #2215-2023; Z23-004) to the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District to permit manufacturing uses. The requested variance will permit the expansion of an existing manufacturing lumber yard and will legitimize reductions in distance separation between residential and more objectionable manufacturing uses, and includes standard variances for required parking surface, parking setbacks, dumpster area, building setback lines, and storage area. The request is consistent with other approved variances that have been supported for legitimizing existing manufacturing developments. Additional landscaping and buffering, and traffic access and improvement commitments are included with the rezoning ordinance, and therefore staff is supportive of the requested variances.
