Council Variance Application: CV19-014
APPLICANT: CCC Training LTD; c/o Kevin Greene; 5755 Granger Road, Suite 100; Independence, OH 44131, and Jennifer Cordek; 3700 Corporate Drive, Suite 125; Columbus, OH 43213.
PROPOSED USE: Educational facility.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with an office building in the M-2, Manufacturing District. The requested Council variance will permit an educational facility on the site. A Council variance is necessary because the existing zoning district does not permit educational facility uses. The site is within the planning area of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends “Office” uses at this location. Staff finds the proposed use compatible with the existing building and on-site parking as well as adjacent businesses on Corporate Drive.
