Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-046
APPLICANT: Capital City Holdings LLC; c/o Thomas F. Kibbey, Atty.; 41 South High Street, 2000 Huntington Center; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Type "A" home day care facility.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a two-unit dwelling zoned in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow conversion of the structure to a single-unit dwelling with a Type "A" home day care to serve the applicant's tenants residing in nearby Scholar House, which offers affordable housing for young parents pursuing a college education. The R-2F district permits only Type "B" home day care facilities, or child day care centers as accessory uses to a religious facility or school. Type "B" facilities permit a maximum of six children and do not require a Certificate of Zoning Clearance or a license, while Type "A" facilities permit a maximum of twelve children, require a Certificate of Zoning Clearance, and are licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The site is located within the planning area of the Near East Area Plan (2005), which recommends higher-density residential and mixed-use development for this location. The proposed Type "A" home day care facility is consistent with the Plan's land use recommendation for mixed use development, and will result in the re-use of an existing historic building. Staff has no objection to the requested Type "A" home day care facility which must comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements and be inspected by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Variances for minimum number of parking spaces and to conform the dwelling's existing conditions are included in the request.
