Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-133
APPLICANT: Cardinal Self Storage LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Self-storage facility.
WEST SCIOTO AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant has received a recommendation of approval from the Development Commission for a concurrent rezoning request to the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District (Ordinance #2009-2020; Z19-098) to permit a self-storage facility. Variances to reduce building and parking setbacks are included in this request. While Staff finds the proposed use of self-storage inconsistent with the “Mixed Use (Neighborhood)” land use recommendation of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), Staff supports the variances as they achieve the design standard recommendations of the Plan.
