Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-028
APPLICANT: 7520 Worthington Galena Road LLC; c/o Elizabeth A. Seedorf, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Unlimited veterinary practice.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a veterinary facility containing veterinary office, veterinary hospital and indoor animal boarding uses in the M-2, Manufacturing District as approved by Ordinance #1491-93 (Council Variance #CV93-040). The requested Council variance will allow the existing facility to expand its allowable uses to include outdoor veterinary treatment, a use that is not allowed in the M-2 district. Variances to reduce a drive aisle width, allow gravel surfaces for a driveway and overflow parking area, reduce the required parking from 23 to 15 spaces, and reduce the parking setback are also included in the request. Staff note the request is supplementing the existing use, which is supported under the “Warehouse Flex” land use recommendation of the Far North Area Plan (2014), and will not add an incompatible use to the area.
