Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-007
APPLICANT: Henry Glaneman; c/o Joshua N. Diaz, Agent; 180 White Oaks Boulevard, Suite 110; Bridgeport, WV 26330.
PROPOSED USE: Natural gas regulation station.
FAR WEST SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The Applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #0838-2026; Z25-041) to the L-I, Limited Institutional District to rezone the northeastern portion of Parcel 560-172398. The requested Council variance will allow reduced development standards for an expansion of an existing natural gas regulation station, as shown on the submitted site plan. A Council variance is required because the proposal cannot meet all required development standards of the I district. Columbus Growth Strategy (2026) (CGS) industrial design guidelines recommend portions of a site that front a public right-of-way should include streetscape improvements such as sidewalks, landscaping, and street trees. Staff notes the proposal includes streetscape improvements such as a proposed seven-foot fence that will provide adequate screening on the site and proposed street trees along Renner Road and Trabue Road.
