Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-072
APPLICANT: Heart of Ohio Family Health Centers; c/o Eric Zartman; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
PROPOSED USE: Parking Lot.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels in two different taxing districts zoned C-2, Commercial District and R-1, Residential District, developed with a medical clinic. The requested Council variance will allow construction of a parking lot on the R-1 portion of the site. A Council variance is required because the R-1 district does not allow commercial uses, including parking lots. A variance to increase the required number of parking spaces from 89 to 139 is also included in this request.

Staff supports the request as it is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, includes a site plan demonstrating appropriate landscaping and buffering, and does not introduce an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
