Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV07-040
APPLICANT: Robin D. & Valerie C. Coolidge; 4640 Wyandotte Drive; Columbus, OH 43230.
PROPOSED USE: Winery as an accessory use to a single-family dwelling.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned in the R-1, Residential District, and is developed with a single-family dwelling with an accessory winery and gift shop. Ordinance #1559-77, passed October 24, 1977 (CV77-042), permits the uses proposed by this ordinance, but established conditions on ownership of the property by the original applicant, and prohibited on-premise serving. The requested variance will remove those conditions to allow on-site wine tasting, small-scale service of food and beverages, and private parties. Variances for minimum number of parking spaces, striping, and parking lot screening are included in the request to address the existing conditions of the customer parking lot. The variance is conditioned on the current hours of operations and sizes of the accessory uses with all activities being conducted inside, and Staff has determined that the request will not add an incompatible use to the area.
