Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-161
APPLICANT: Cardinal Self Storage LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility and limited commercial uses.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval. Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of disapproval from Staff and a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #1393-2025; Z24-072) to the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District for a self-storage facility and limited commercial uses. The requested Council variance will allow for reduced building setback from 60 to 20 feet along Stelzer Road, and reduced distance separation from 25 to 10 feet from residentially-zoned property. The Northeast Area Plan (2007) recommends standards for future development along Stelzer Road should be consistent with the development standards utilized in the Citygate development. Staff note the proposed site plan with Z24-072 includes buildings fronting Stelzer Road, consistent with Plan design guidelines. However, Staff is not supportive due to the inconsistency of the proposed self-storage use with the Plan’s land use recommendation. Although staff is not supportive of the proposed self-storage use due
to the inconsistency with the Plan’s land use recommendation for job-generating office or
industrial uses, the variances are supported.
