Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-045
APPLICANT: Barbara Burden; 1137 Linwood Avenue; Columbus, OH 43206.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
PROPOSED USE: Type A family child care home.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. A Council variance is required because the R-4 district does not allow a Type A family child care home, while the applicant proposes such a use. A variance to reduce the required parking is included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Since the primary use of the property will still be a single-unit dwelling, Staff has no objection to the requested Type A family child-care home, which must comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements and be inspected by the State of Ohio.
