Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV10-018
APPLICANT: Sigma Racing Technologies, Corp.; c/o C. Bernard Brush; 5530 Columbia Road; Pataskala, OH 43062.
PROPOSED USE: Automotive maintenance and repair.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a storage building zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing District. The applicant requests a Council variance to allow the building to be used for automotive maintenance and repair (no auto-body) in conjunction with assembling and manufacturing automotive racing parts and systems for performance cars. All activities will be conducted inside the building. Automotive maintenance and repair facilities are not permitted in the M-2, Manufacturing District, but assembly, manufacturing, processing, and treatment of automobiles and automotive parts is permitted. Furthermore, the M-2 District allows bus garages and truck depots where routine vehicle maintenance is permitted. The automotive maintenance and repair proposed for this site is less intense than the maintenance of a fleet of buses or trucks. Approval of this request will not introduce an incompatible use to the area. No recommendation is being made regarding the hardship aspect of this request.
