Explanation
Council Variance: CV04-036
APPLICANT: North Central Mental Health Service Inc.; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank and Brahm; 145 East Rich Street, Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Private parking lot.
UNIVERSITY AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This council variance will allow a private parking lot in the R-4, Residential District to provide additional parking for North Central Mental Health Service, Inc., which is located east of the subject site between Wall Street and North High Street. The site is currently developed with two residential dwellings that will be removed. The proposed parking lot is consistent with the existing development pattern along Wall Street south of The Ohio State University. Several parking lots have been developed west of Wall Street between the subject site and the university. Applicant's rezoning request (R-4 to CPD) was converted to a council variance at the request of community representatives. A hardship exists in that a parking lot is not permitted in the R-4, Residential District. The applicant is committing to a registered site plan developed in consultation with the Transportation and Refuse Divisions. The site plan includes landscaping detail, a total of twenty-eight (28) parking spaces, lighting restrictions, and a five (5) foot high masonry wall along the west property line that was requested by the University Area Commission.
