Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-043
APPLICANT: 1550 N. Wilson, LLC; c/o James V. Maniace, Atty.; 65 East State Street, Suite 1000; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Manufacturing and distribution facility.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from Staff and the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning (Ordinance #1714-2020; Z20-035) to the L-M-2, Limited Manufacturing District to permit a medical supply manufacturing and distribution facility. This requested concurrent Council variance will conform the existing zero foot parking setback line with no landscaped area along North Wilson Road except for as indicated in the site plan included with Ordinance #1714-2020. Since the reduced setback reflects existing conditions of the site, and street trees are proposed along the site frontage with the rezoning ordinance, Staff supports the requested variance.
