Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-044
APPLICANT: David Hodge, Atty.; 8000 Walton Parkway, Suite 260; New Albany, OH 43054.
PROPOSED USE: Contractor’s office and associated storage uses.
FAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three parcels developed with two vacant restaurant buildings in the R-2F, Residential District. The requested Council variance will permit redevelopment of the site for a contractor’s office and associated storage uses. Variances to reduce the parking and building setbacks are also included in this request. The site is located within the boundaries of the Far East Land Use Plan (2018), which recommends “Mixed Use 2 (24-45 du/ac)” land uses at this location. Additionally, the Plan includes complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines. Although this proposal is industrial in nature, Planning Staff recognizes the proposal as appropriate based on neighboring retail and office uses and service road access to the site. Additionally, the landscaping is consistent with C2P2 guidelines as they apply to commercial properties. Approval of this request will not add an incompatible use to the area.
