Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-008
APPLICANT: Pinnacle Treatment Centers, Inc.; c/o Rebecca J. Mott, Atty.; 411 East Town Street, Second Floor; Columbus, OH 43215
PROPOSED USE: Voluntary residential treatment facility.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with an existing residential treatment facility in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. The requested Council variance will legitimize the existing use. The site was issued Zoning Clearance for an outpatient treatment facility in 2016 and 2022 as was indicated on final site compliance plans. The initial 2016 building permit was issued for a 16-bed in-patient facility with a subsequent building permit issued in 2022 for a 21-bed expansion. A Council variance is required for the in-patient aspect of the treatment facility because this CPD district established C-2, Commercial District uses as the only allowable uses, and in-patient treatment facilities are not allowed in the C-2 district. The site is located within the boundaries of the Columbus Growth Strategy (2026), which recommends “Mixed Use 3” land uses at this location. Staff supports the requested use as it is consistent with this recommendation, and does not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
