Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-030
APPLICANT: Capital Tire Inc.; c/o Rob Kuhr; 1001 Cherry Street; Toledo, OH 43608.
PROPOSED USE: Tire retreading facility.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is currently developed with two industrial buildings in the M-2, Manufacturing District. The applicant had believed the property to be zoned in the M-1, Manufacturing District due to a map error that was recently discovered and corrected, and wishes to convert one of the industrial buildings to a tire retreading facility. Tire retreading, like all rubber tire and tube industries, is listed as a more objectionable manufacturing use that is only allowed in the M and M-1, Manufacturing Districts. The site is located within the planning area of the Broad-Blacklick Area Plan (2011), which recommends light industrial uses for this location. The proposed tire retreading will be contained within an existing 14,400± square-foot industrial building and complies with distance separation requirements. The requested use is consistent with the development pattern of the surrounding neighborhood, which includes properties zoned in the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, M-1 Manufacturing District, and CPD, Commercial Planned Development District. Staff supports the requested variance due to the existence of similarly-zoned properties in the immediate area and because the proposed operation will be enclosed within an existing building.
