Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV14-014
APPLICANT: Solly Yassenoff; 865 King Avenue; Columbus, OH 43212.
PROPOSED USE: Limited commercial uses.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with two multi-tenant office/industrial structures totaling 38,400± square feet and is zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing District. The requested Council Variance will allow the continued use of three tenants for on-site estate sales, a pet day care, and a veterinarian, and proposes additional limited commercial uses. The site is located within the planning area of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Employment Center” uses for this location, a designation which supports retail and service uses as secondary uses. The proposal contains appropriate use and square-footage limitations that ensure compatibility with surrounding industrial and residential uses, and is similar to uses that have been previously varied in other M-2 Districts. A parking variance is included with this request to maintain 126 on-site parking spaces if a change in use triggers the need for additional parking, and it is supported by the Department of Public Service.
