Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-060
APPLICANT: John D. Wymer; c/o Holly Hedden, Agent; 6950 Americana Parkway; Reynoldsburg, OH 43068.
PROPOSED USE: Personal training business and child day care center.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This site is developed with a multi-tenant office/warehouse building zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing District, and is subject to Ordinance No. 1615-2012, passed July 30, 2012 (CV12-026), which allows a child day care center to occupy up to 6,600 square feet of space. The requested Council variance will replace Ordinance No. 1615-2012 and will also permit the additional use of personal trainer business to occupy the 3,291 square foot tenant space adjacent to the child daycare space. While Staff did not support the previous Council variance due to the potential conflicts between child day care and industrial activity on this and adjacent sites, the day care use has been established and does not appear to be incompatible to the area or conflict with the other tenants in the building. Furthermore, the requested variance will permit the additional use a personal physical trainer business, and it is not anticipated that this use will be any less compatible with the established uses than the day care, and will not generate any more traffic than most permitted uses. The site lies within Brice/Tussing Plan (1990), which recommends light manufacturing uses. The new proposed use of a personal trainer business is consistent and compatible with surrounding uses.
