Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-018
APPLICANT: Julie Shirk; 1801 Watermark Drive, Suite 210; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Pet boarding with outside runs.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with a pet boarding facility which includes outdoor runs in the L-C-4, Limited Commercial District. This development was previously approved by Ordinance #2184-2012, passed October 22, 2012 (CV12-020) for the outdoor runs, a parking reduction variance, and committed to a site plan and elevation drawings. The requested Council variance will permit the replacement of previously committed to elevation drawings so that signage can be added to the front of the building in place of a window feature. Also included in the request are variances to the Special Permit requirements for the existing outdoor runs, C-4 permitted uses, and minimum numbers of parking spaces required which are being carried over from CV12-020. The site is within the planning area of the Northland Plan Volume II (2002) in the “Blendon District.” Staff finds that the proposed signage is consistent with the Plan’s recommendation that on-premise signage should be readable and compatible with surroundings.
