Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV11-012

APPLICANT: YDT Sinclair Road LLC, c/o Mark F. Taggart; 942 A Freeway Drive North; Columbus, Ohio 43229.

PROPOSED USE: Private (charter) school and/or office uses.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is part of a large industrial/office park and is developed with an office building and two office/warehouse buildings zoned in the M-1, Manufacturing District. The office building was considered to be accessory to the industrial uses on the property when approved for construction in 1970, because it was to be used by businesses occupying the warehouses. Those businesses have since moved out of the office building and industrial buildings. The applicant requests a Council variance to allow a charter school within the office building, and to allow office uses within that same building that are not in conjunction with the on-site industrial uses. Schools and stand-alone offices are not permitted in the M-1, Manufacturing District. Approval of this request will not introduce an incompatible use to the area. Since the office/industrial park is surrounded by the freeway and residential uses, more objectionable manufacturing uses that are incompatible with the proposed school but are permitted in the M-1, Manufacturing District are not contemplated for the site.
