Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-022
APPLICANT: Tamie and Bryan Wallake; 6168 Dietz Drive; Canal Winchester, OH 43110.
PROPOSED USE: Eating and drinking establishment.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with two child daycare facilities and a recently constructed unoccupied building zoned in the C-2, Commercial District. The applicant proposes an eating and drinking establishment in the new building. A variance is necessary because the C-2, Commercial District does not permit eating and drinking establishments. The site is located within the planning area of the Southeast Area Plan (2000), which recommends residential uses for this location. Staff supports deviation from the Plan noting that the property is already zoned for commercial uses, that the eating and drinking establishment will be limited to the eastern most building on the property, and that conditions have been added to the request to mitigate potential negative impacts on adjacent residential uses. Staff recognizes that a hardship exists because the applicants were not made aware that an eating and drinking establishment is not permitted in the existing C-2, Commercial District during predesign meetings on this property.
