Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-010
APPLICANT: Worthington Lodge #1427, Loyal Order of the Moose; c/o Michael J. O’Reilly, Atty.; 30 Hill Road South, Suite B; Pickerington, OH 43147.
PROPOSED USE: Expand private club / fraternal organization use.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a strip shopping center and zoned in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District (Ord # 1091-94; Z93-128). Ordinance # 1107-2003, passed July 14, 2003 (Council Variance # CV03-012), permitted the property to be used for a private club / fraternal organization with a maximum of 3,705 square feet, in the CPD, Commercial Planned Development District, which had prohibited such uses. Also included within CV03-012 are conditions for the number of parking spaces, hours of operation, and outdoor events which will be carried over. Now, the applicant proposes to expand the area of the private club / fraternal organization use to 6,505 square feet, an additional 2,800 square feet. The site is within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Neighborhood Commercial” uses at this location. The private club / fraternal organization use is not viewed as an incompatible use at this location, and simply expands the permitted square footage.
