Council Variance Application: CV23-155
APPLICANT: Densire Ingabire-Smith; 3851 Highland Bluff Drive; Columbus, OH 43125.
PROPOSED USE: Type "A" family child care home.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling in the R-2, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the existing dwelling to be utilized as a Type “A” family child care home. A Council variance is required because the R-2 district only allows Type "B" child care facilities within a home, or child day care centers as accessory uses to a religious facility or school. Type "B" facilities allow a maximum of six children and do not require a Certificate of Zoning Clearance or a license, while Type "A" facilities allow a maximum of twelve children, require a Certificate of Zoning Clearance, and are licensed by the State of Ohio. Variances to maneuvering, parking setback, and parking space are included in this request. Since the primary use of the property will remain a single-unit dwelling, Staff has no objection to the requested Type "A" family day care home
