Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-025
APPLICANT: Public Storage Inc; c/o Jeffrey L. Brown, Atty.; 37 West Broad Street, Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility with limited outside storage and a resident watchman quarters.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site includes an existing self-storage facility with an additional lot currently being utilized as an outside storage lot for boats, vehicles, and RVs, and is zoned C-4, Commercial District. The majority of the site is subject to Ordinance No. 2512-97, passed October 27, 1997 (Council Variance # CV97-037), which permitted a self-storage facility. A portion of the property is subject to Ordinance No. 2819-2015, passed November 23, 2015 (Council Variance # CV15-037), which permitted self-storage units and/or limited outside storage. The requested Council variance will continue to permit the site to be used as a self-storage facility and limited outside storage but with altered development standards requested by new ownership. The Southeast Area Plan (2000) recommends neo-traditional residential development on this site; however, given the fact that subject site has been developed with self-storage uses for nearly twenty years, and surrounding properties have been developed with C-4 uses, deviation from the Plan remains warranted. Approval of this request will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
Title
To grant a Variance from the provisions of Sections 3356.03, C-4 permitted uses; 3312.27(4), Parking setback line; and 3312.53(B), Minimum number of loading spaces required, for the property located at 5265 GENDER ROAD (43110), to permit a self-storage facility with limited outside storage and a resident watchman quarters in the C-4, Commercial District, and to repeal Ordinance Nos. 2512-97, passed October 27, 1997 and 2819-2015, passed November 23, 2015 (Council Variance # CV16-025).
