Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-030
APPLICANT: BT OH LLC; c/o Thaddeus M. Boggs; 10 West Broad Street, Suite 2300; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Parking to serve adjacent industrial uses.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance # 1979-2018; Z18-029) to the M-2, Manufacturing District to match adjacent zoning for industrial uses.

Staff is supportive of the proposed use and reduced development standards as the parking lot is on a land-locked parcel with no public street frontage and is accessory to an adjacent industrial development.
