Explanation

Council Variance: CV03-037

APPLICANT: Wayne Products Inc., 5758 Westbourne Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43213; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 725; Columbus, Ohio 43215.

PROPOSED USE: To assemble, warehouse and distribute golf clubs and related merchandise.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will permit a business for retail sales of golf clubs and related merchandise to add a facility for warehouse and distribution operations and golf club assembly. Staff supports the requested warehouse/distribution and golf club assembly facility because it will allow the applicant to consolidate this part of the business with its corporate headquarters and retail store. Appropriate development standards are provided, such as a 360- foot building setback from North Hamilton Road, additional landscaping and fencing to screen the facility, and a commitment to a pitched roof. A variance is requested to reduce parking lot screening standards opposite the rear undeveloped portion of the residential property to the north. A hardship exists in that the current CPD, Commercial Planned Development District zoning (Z98-017; ORD 1829-2003) permits only those uses contained in C.C. Section 3356.03, C-4 Regional Scale Commercial District, and a Council Variance is the only mechanism to allow a business for retail sales of golf clubs and related merchandise to warehouse and distribute golf clubs and related merchandise and assemble golf clubs in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District.

Title
