Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV24-003

APPLICANT: Sabino Rubio; c/o Jeanne Cabral, Agent; 2939 Bexley Park Road; Columbus, OH 43209.

FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

PROPOSED USE: Automotive maintenance and sales, tire sales, and food truck.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of an existing automotive maintenance and sales facility within the C-3, Commercial District. The site is subject to zoning code violation #23470-01356 for failure to obtain zoning clearance for expansions to the facility. A Council variance is required because the C-3 district does not allow automotive maintenance and sales along with permanent placement of a food truck on the site, and will assist in legitimizing the expansions. Additional variances for maneuvering into the right-of-way, and for not requiring a Special Permit from the Board of Zoning Adjustment for the food truck, which is considered to be a portable building when it is not moved nightly, are included in the request. The proposed uses are consistent with the Scioto Southland Plan’s (2007) land use recommendation for “Commercial” uses at this location. This ordinance is also conditioned on the existing traffic access point to Parsons Avenue being restricted to vehicles entering or exiting the garage door facing Parsons Avenue.
