Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-139
APPLICANT: Michael Uloko; c/o Patrick Walker, Agent; 401 North Front Street, Suite 380; Columbus, OH 43215
PROPOSED USE: Natural gas regulation station.
CLINTONVILLE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel zoned in the R-3, Residential District and developed with a single-unit dwelling, a two-unit dwelling, and existing gas regulatory equipment. The requested Council variance will allow construction of a new natural gas regulation station. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow institutional uses. The request includes variances to vision clearance, building lines, side yard obstruction, and rooftop telecommunications installation requirements. The site is located with the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Commercial (Neighborhood)” and “Single Family” land uses at this location. Although the proposal is inconsistent with part of the Plan’s recommendation, staff recognize the institutional nature of the use and therefore support the proposal. Additionally, the submitted site plan demonstrates adequate screening and landscaping from neighboring residential uses, consistent with the Plan’s design guidelines.
