Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV15-047
APPLICANT: Barbara Burden; 1125 Linwood Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43206.
PROPOSED USE: Type "A" home day care facility within a single-unit dwelling.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single-unit dwelling zoned in the R-4, Residential District. The applicant proposes a Type "A"day care facility within her home. The R-4 district permits only Type "B" day care facilities within a home, or child day care centers as accessory uses to a religious facility or school. Type "B" facilities permit a maximum of six children and do not require a Certificate of Zoning Clearance or a license, while Type "A" facilities permit a maximum of twelve children, require a Certificate of Zoning Clearance, and are licensed by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. The site is located within the planning area of the Southside Plan (2014), which recommends medium-density mixed residential uses for 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" home day care facility which must comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements and be inspected by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services. Variances for minimum number of parking spaces and to conform the dwelling's existing conditions are included in the request. The property is also the subject of a 1995 Board of Zoning Adjustment variance (V95-025) which permitted a room addition with a reduced rear yard, and that variance is also being carried over into this request.
