Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-014
APPLICANT: Connie J. Klema, Atty.; P.O. Box 9914; Pataskala, OH 43062.
PROPOSED USE: Restaurant.
VICTORIAN VILLAGE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a 2038 square-foot vacant commercial building. The applicant is requesting a Council Variance to renovate the building and allow a restaurant in the R-4, Residential District. Variances to conform the site's existing conditions are included in the request. The site lies within the boundaries of Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan (2000), which encourages mixed-use development at this site, including commercial uses. The site is within the Urban Commercial Overlay, which applies to commercial but not residential uses. This proposal will contribute to the planned revitalization of the Italian Village East neighborhood. A hardship exists in that a commercial use was originally established on this site, and City plans and overlays recommend commercial use of the site, but the R-4 zoning designation prevents changing the use to a restaurant without City Council action. (REPEALED BY ORD. 1424-2016; PASSED 6/6/16)
