Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV14-012

APPLICANT: Dr. Chris Smiley; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, III, Atty.; Smith & Hale LLC; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Limited C-2, Office Commercial District uses.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested Council variance will expand the permitted uses and remove staffing restrictions approved with Ordinance No. 912-84, passed June 4, 1984 (CV84-054), in the R-1, Residential District. The property is currently being used as an optometry office and is limited to one doctor and 3 additional employees. Limited C-2, Office Commercial District uses are proposed, and no other variances are requested. The site is located within the planning area of the Northwest Plan (2007), and while no specific land use recommendations are provided for this location, the Plan does recommend that infill development be compatible with the existing development. This property has been used as an office for some time and no site changes are proposed. The existing tree rows to the south and west of the parking lot provides a buffer to adjacent residences, and the request includes a commitment that they will be maintained.
