Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-090
APPLICANT: Scott Schmidt; c/o Curtis H. Knapp, Atty.; 1160 Dublin Road, Suite 500; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Canine training, boarding, and grooming facility.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site is developed with a single-unit dwelling in the SR, Suburban Residential District that is being used as a canine training, boarding, and grooming facility with outdoor runs, including a residence for a caretaker. These uses were established without obtaining zoning clearance. The requested Council variance legitimizes the uses, and will allow the applicant to seek a Special Permit from the Board of Zoning Adjustment for the outdoor runs. Any necessary standard variances and a site plan requested by the Planning Division will be evaluated with that request, and rezoning of the property to an appropriate zoning district for the canine facility will be required within one year of the passage of this ordinance. The site is located within the boundaries of the Northland I Area Plan (2014), which recommends office uses for this location. The request includes uses that provide a variety of services and employment opportunities for the neighborhood, as recommended by the Plan. Appropriate development standards will be provided in the required Special Permit and rezoning applications.
