Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV15-056
APPLICANT: G. Scott Guiler; 7903 Jefferson Drive; Canal Winchester, OH 43110.
PROPOSED USE: Art Gallery and warehousing.
FRANKLINTON AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
EAST FRANKLINTON REVIEW BOARD RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a former industrial building and is located within the Dodge Park Sub-Area of the EF, East Franklinton District. The applicant proposes to use the building for artist studios, the exhibition and sale of art, and the manufacture, warehousing, and distribution of art. The East Franklinton District is an urban, mixed use zoning classification that was established in 2013 as a new zoning tool to implement the land use recommendations of the East Franklinton Creative Community District Plan (2012). While artisan manufacturing is allowed as an accessory use in the Dodge Park Sub-Area, the proposed art gallery and warehousing of art are prohibited thereby necessitating this variance request. The East Franklinton Creative Community District Plan recommends medium-density mixed residential development for the Dodge Park Sub-District. The East Franklinton Review Board supports the request and a Certificate of Approval will be required for the building as part of the site compliance review process.
