Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV09-034
APPLICANT: Pet Suites of America; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Attorney; 37 West Broad Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: To allow pet boarding with outside runs in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant is applying for a Council variance to allow a pet boarding facility with outside runs in a 2.11 acre undeveloped portion of a 16.7 acre CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. While pet daycare is a permitted use in the C-3 District, outdoor runs and boarding are not permitted, making a Council Variance necessary. The applicants are also applying for a parking variance to only provide 30 parking spaces where 80 would be required. Staff supports the request now that the applicant has complied with Staff's request that the outdoor runs be relocated from the east side of the building away from the existing residences. The proposed outdoor runs will be over 120 feet from the existing residences and will be screened with an eight foot high wall and trees within the detention area to the east. These measures should minimize any noise impacts on the existing nearby dwellings. Staff finds the parking requirement of 80 parking spaces to be excessive for this use and supports the reduction to 30 parking spaces.
