Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-055
APPLICANT: Tyrona Varner; 7257 Bennell Drive; Reynoldsburg, OH 43068.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
PROPOSED USE: Type A family child care home.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-2, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the existing dwelling to be used as a Type A family child care home. A Council variance is required because the R-2 district does not allow a Type A family child care home, while the applicant proposes such a use. A variance to reduce the required parking from eight spaces to two spaces is also included in this request. The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Low Density Residential (4-6 du/acre)” land uses at this location. Since the primary use of the property will still be a single-unit dwelling, Staff has no objection to the requested Type A family child care home, which must comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements and be inspected by the State of Ohio.
