Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV05-043
APPLICANT: Robert E. Caudy, R&KC Adventures LLC; 1167 Michigan Avenue; Columbus, Ohio
43201.
PROPOSED USE: Veterinary facility.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing District, and is developed with an office/warehouse building. The applicant requests a Council variance to allow a veterinary practice, along with accessory pet daycare, boarding and grooming uses within the existing building. An outdoor animal exercise area is also proposed and is permitted in conjunction with veterinary practices in the C-4, Commercial District, but would be subject to a minimum 100-foot separation from residentially zoned properties. Variances for the building's existing conditions and a parking space reduction are also included in the request. Part of the building will continue to be leased as warehouse space with the intent of the veterinary practice expanding into the remaining areas in the future. A hardship exists in that the M-2, Manufacturing District allows general and medical office uses and certain manufacturing uses, but prohibits veterinary practices and the proposed accessory uses.
