Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-037
APPLICANT: Michael Pingue; 1445 Worthington Woods Boulevard; Worthington, OH 43085.
PROPOSED USE: Salon / day spa.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site is zoned in the L-AR-O, Limited Apartment Office District and is developed with a medical office building. The requested variance will permit a salon/day spa with microblading services in 1,200 1,600 square feet of the existing building. A Council variance is necessary because this commercial use is not permitted in the AR-O, Apartment Office District. The site is located within the boundaries of the Far North Area Plan (2014), which recommends office uses for this location. The Plan also recommends that redevelopment be consistent and compatible with the land use of the surrounding area. Planning Division staff views the proposed use as compatible with the land use pattern of the surrounding area, as recommended by the Plan. Salons and day spas are low-intensity commercial uses compatible with medical office uses. Because the variance will not alter the overall use of the site as an office building, the variance will not adversely affect the surrounding property or surrounding neighborhood.
