Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-009
APPLICANT: Match Point Pickleball LLC, c/o Tim Lai, Agent; 401 West Town Street, Studio 223; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Accessory eating, drinking, and retail uses.

A Council variance is required because the M-2 district does not allow eating and drinking or retail uses. A variance to reduce required parking from 226 to 201 spaces is also included in the request. Staff supports the variance as the proposed eating, drinking, and retail components are secondary to the recreation facility, and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
