Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV18-014
APPLICANT: Tara Hall, Inc.; c/o Ron Hagan; 7326 State Route 19, Unit 0512; Mt. Gilead, OH 43338.
PROPOSED USE: To conform and expand a fraternal organization/private club.
COLUMBUS SOUTHSIDE AREA COMMISSION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is zoned R-3, Residential District and developed with a non-conforming fraternal organization/private club with an attached single dwelling unit, addressed as 274 East Innis Avenue. The R-3, Residential District was established as part of a 1972 City-sponsored down-zoning of the neighborhood which rendered this use non-conforming. The requested Council variance will conform the use and a recent expansion on the site. Additional variances are requested to reduce the minimum number of required parking spaces from 75 to 21, and to allow the existing gravel parking lot to be maintained without any landscaping or screening until spring of 2019. The continued use of the fraternal organization/private club and gravel lot with reduced parking spaces can be supported, and staff believes that the proposed landscaping and screening will effectively mitigate potential negative impacts of this commercial use and gravel lot on the surrounding and adjacent residential uses.
