Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV13-031

APPLICANT: Roof to Road LLC; c/o Donald Plank, Atty.; 145 East Rich Street, Floor 3; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Salvage/recycling operation.

SOUTHWEST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests a Council variance to allow a salvage/recycling operation in an M-1, Manufacturing District. The site is located within the planning area of the Southwest Area Plan (2009), which recommends lower intensity light industrial uses for this location. At present, salvage yards are permitted only in the M, Manufacturing District with a Special Permit from the Columbus Board of Zoning Adjustment; however, a proposed code change is pending allowing this use to also be located in the M-1, Manufacturing District with a Special Permit (Ord. No. 0698-2012). Staff does not object to the proposed salvage/recycling operation as a secondary use in the M-1 District, which allows for the most intense manufacturing uses, particularly given the restricted nature of the request in terms of space and location on the parcel. Approval of this request will not introduce an incompatible use to the area. The applicant will also be required to obtain a Special Permit from the Columbus Board of Zoning Adjustment where additional conditions and limitations can be assessed.
