Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-036
APPLICANT: Timothy Etienne; 5160 Southbend Drive; Canal Winchester, OH 43110.
PROPOSED USE: Type “A” home day care within a single-unit dwelling.
GREATER SOUTH EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling zoned in the L-R-2, Limited Residential District. The requested Council Variance will allow a Type “A” child day care facility serving a maximum of 12 children in conjunction with the dwelling. The Council variance is necessary because the L-R-2 district permits only Type “B” day care facilities serving a maximum of 6 children within a home, or child day care centers as accessory uses to a religious facility or school. A variance to reduce the required number of auto and bicycle spaces is included in this request. The site is within the boundaries of the South East Land Use Plan C2P2 (2018), which recommends low density residential (4-6 du/ac) land uses at this location. The Plan also includes complete adoption of the Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018). Since the primary use of the property will remain a single-unit dwelling and the Plan does not comment on Type “A” day care facilities, Staff has no objection to the requested Type "A" home day care facility which must comply with Ohio Revised Code requirements and be inspected by the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services.
Title
To grant a Variance from the provisions of Sections 3332.033, R-2, residential district; and 3312.49(C), Minimum numbers of parking spaces required, of the Columbus City Codes; for the property located at 5160 SOUTHBEND DR. (43110), to permit a Type “A” home day care with reduced number of parking spaces in the L-R-2, Limited Residential District (Council Variance #CV20-036).
