Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV10-008
APPLICANT: Chad Brainard; 4110 Demorest Road; Grove City, OH 43123.
PROPOSED USE: Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) kiosk as an accessory use to a church.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a church zoned in the I, Institutional District. The requested Council variance would allow an Automatic Teller Machine (ATM) kiosk as an accessory use in the parking lot. Although the I District allows some office uses, bank uses are prohibited. Staff is supportive of the proposed accessory use because the south side of Livingston Avenue is developed with mixed-commercial uses, and the church leases their parking spaces to some of the surrounding businesses. The ATM kiosk will displace two code-required parking spaces in the already-deficient parking lot. A 58-space parking variance is included in the request to address the displaced parking spaces and to conform the church's current parking shortage. No recommendation is being made regarding the hardship aspect of this request.
