Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-011
APPLICANT: Catherine Odom; 3490 Liv-Moor Drive; Columbus, OH 43227.
PROPOSED USE: Non-accessory child day care center within a religious facility.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of 15 parcels zoned SR, Suburban Residential and developed with a religious facility. The applicant proposes a child day care center within the religious facility. A Council variance is required because the proposed child day care center is considered to be a non-accessory use because it will not be operated by the religious facility. The SR district only permits child day care centers as accessory uses to religious facility uses. The site is within the boundaries of the Livingston East Area Plan (2009), which recommends institutional land uses at this location. Staff supports the requested variance because the proposed day care center is consistent with the Plan’s institutional use recommendation and does not add incompatible uses to the neighborhood.
