Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-065
APPLICANT: John Chess; 4263 Gavin Lane; Columbus, OH 43220.
PROPOSED USE: Microbrewery with off-site distribution.
HISTORIC RESOURCES COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance # 0751-2017-2016; Z16-065) to the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District to allow an eating and drinking establishment (microbrewery) and general office uses. This request will permit a microbrewery with off-site distribution in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. A 2,265± square foot building addition and 1,373± square feet of outdoor dining area are proposed for the microbrewery. The variance is necessary because breweries that distribute product off-site are listed as a more objectionable manufacturing use that must be located in the M, or M-1, Manufacturing district at least 600 feet from residentially-zoned land. A variance to reduce the distance separation requirement is included in the request as there are existing residential uses adjacent to the site. The proposed brewery will be a small-scale operation within a 1,117± square-foot building addition for production of product to be predominantly consumed and purchased on-site, with off-site distribution being ancillary to the on-site commercial uses. The nearest residential building is at least 90 feet from the microbrewery location, and similar variances have been approved for microbreweries in close proximity to residential uses.
