Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV16-040
APPLICANT: Rickard Alan Sicker, P.E.; 4254 Tuller Road; Dublin, OH 43017.
PROPOSED USE: Mixed commercial and residential development.
GERMAN VILLAGE COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three separate parcels zoned in the R-2F, Residential District, and developed with three nonconforming commercial buildings and a two-unit dwelling. The applicant proposes new restaurant, retail, office, and commercial fitness uses in the commercial buildings while maintaining the existing two-unit dwelling. The requested Council variance proposes a maximum of 6,454 square feet of restaurant space on Parcel A, a maximum of 1,047 square feet of restaurant space and 798 square feet of retail space on Parcel B, and a maximum of 586 square feet of retail space on Parcel C with the existing two-unit dwelling. These maximums are utilized for determining parking requirements, and the uses that are permitted in this ordinance that have the same or lesser parking requirement than the stated maximums may also occupy the buildings. A reduction of 101 required parking spaces and variances for existing conditions for lot coverage, setbacks, and yard standards are included in the request. Expanding the site’s mixed commercial uses is consistent with the development pattern of the area. The main impact of this proposal concerns parking. But because many patrons will walk or bike to the site, some on-site parking will be provided, and on-street parking is available, the requested parking reduction is supported.
