Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-078
APPLICANT: Matt McCutcheon; 7575 Huntington Park Drive, Suite 130; Columbus, OH 43235.
PROPOSED USE: Collector well.
FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the EQ, Excavation and Quarrying District. A Council variance is required because the EQ District does not allow the construction of any buildings except for farming, agriculture and truck gardening, excavation of gravel and sand, quarrying of limestone or other rock, temporary processing plants, and solar energy collection, while the applicant proposes to construct a collector well building(s). A variance to increase building height is included in this request. The proposed use is consistent with the South Central Accord Amendment (2000) land use recommendation of “Excavation/Quarrying” for this location.
