Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV19-013

APPLICANT: Southside Commercial, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company, Inc.; 411 East Town Street, First Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Conform existing automotive maintenance and repair facility.

COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a nonconforming automotive maintenance and repair facility in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will conform the existing auto repair facility. The variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow commercial uses. Variances to reduce the maneuvering area, parking setback line, and side yards are also included with this request. The site is within the boundaries of the South Side Plan (2014), which recommends “Industrial” land uses at this location, and includes adoption of Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). As the proposed variance will conform the existing use which has been established for many years, and is consistent with the Plan’s land use recommendation, it is supported.
