Explanation
Council Variance Application CV08-020
APPLICANT: Whirlpool Corporation; c/o Christopher N. Slagle, Atty.; 100 South Third Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Industrial development.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval of the rezoning (Z08-027) from R, Rural and L-M, Limited Manufacturing Districts to L-M, Limited Manufacturing District to allow industrial development on the subject site. The applicant is requesting variances concurrent with the rezoning to permit the construction of an eight foot (8') high chain link security fence along the perimeter of the subject site in advance of the building setback lines. Staff supports the proposed variances because if the fence were six feet (6') or less in height it would not be subject to building setback lines, and the eight-foot high fence poses no vision clearance issues because it is constructed of chain link and will be predominately transparent. The site is located within the planning area of the South Central Accord (2004), which recommends industrial uses for this location.
