Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV05-015
APPLICANT: Johnson & Fischer Properties 2, LLC; c/o Timothy G. Madison, Atty.; Swedlow,
Butler, Lewis, Madison & Dye; 10 West Broad Street, Suite 2400; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Contractor's office and storage.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested Council variance will allow the development of the site with a 7,200 square foot storage/garage building and an office/warehouse building with an additional 2,760 square feet of storage space in the C-4, Commercial District. A hardship exists because although the C-4 Commercial District allows a contractor's office, it prohibits storage of equipment and supplies. The applicant operates a painting company that is located at the northeast corner of Sullivant Avenue and Derrer Road, and seeks indoor storage for their painting equipment, vehicles and supplies that is located within close proximity to their office. The site lies within the planning area of the Greater Hilltop Plan (2001), which recommends that "expanding the permitted uses in older commercial areas to allow for limited manufacturing uses" should be considered.
