Explanation
BACKGROUND:
These code changes make minor adjustments to the M-1 and M-2 Manufacturing Districts to correct minor inconsistencies and to add clarification in an attempt to reduce the potential for misinterpretation and misapplication of the Columbus Zoning Code.
The current M-1 and M-2 zoning districts both currently contain a code section that allows for accessory child day care. This code change would delete the erroneous mention of schools and churches in those code sections because schools and churches have never been permitted as primary uses in these districts resulting in confusion and potential misinterpretation of the code. Additionally, a code change is being made to clarify that office uses are in fact a permitted use in the M-2 manufacturing district as they historically have been.
The Columbus Development Commission has reviewed these proposed code changes at its monthly public meeting on April 22, 2004, and has voted to recommend their adoption by City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT: No funding is required for this legislation.
