Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-039
APPLICANT: Belle Isle Investment Co. LP; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: General office and/or federal immigration enforcement processing station uses.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is comprised of two parcels developed with an office/industrial building, and is zoned in the M, and M-1, Manufacturing Districts. The requested Council variance will allow general office use and a U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Processing Station to replace industrial uses in the portion of the building in the M-1 district. The M-1 district only permits office uses in conjunction with industrial uses, and does not permit the proposed immigration enforcement processing center. Variances to maneuvering, parking space size, and minimum number of parking spaces are included in the request because the original building was constructed across two parcels which cannot be combined as they are in different taxing districts. However, the required parking and maneuvering are provided between the two parcels. The site is located within the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Employment Center” uses (including office and light industrial uses) at this location.
