Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV17-070
APPLICANT: New Par, D/B/A Verizon Wireless; c/o Dan Noble; 7575 Commerce Court; Columbus, OH 43035.
PROPOSED USE: Monopole telecommunication antenna.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This request will permit the construction of a 120’ high monopole telecommunications antenna on the Ohio State Fairgrounds which is zoned R, Rural. A variance is necessary because monopole telecommunications antennas are not permitted in the R, Rural district. The request includes additional variances to reduce vision clearance, building lines, height, and to permit alternative screening to match the fairground’s existing wrought iron fencing with additional landscaping proposed. There is no Council adopted plan for this area. The proposed monopole and the associated variances can be supported because the structure will be located within the fairgrounds and will present no negative impact on the nearest residential uses which are located at least 350 feet away on the west side of adjacent raised railroad tracks.
