Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV25-069

APPLICANT: Shoney Cattling; 2948 East 7th Avenue; Columbus, OH 43203.

PROPOSED USE: Type A family child care home.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of two parcels developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-4, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the existing dwelling to be used as a Type A family child care home, a use that would otherwise not be allowed in the R-4 district. A variance to reduced required parking from five spaces to two spaces is also included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the East Columbus Neighborhood Plan (2012), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” land uses at this location. Since the primary use of the property will remain a single-unit dwelling, Staff has no objection to the requested Type A family child care home, which must also comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements.
