Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-089
APPLICANT: Trabue Walcutt LLC; c/o Laura MacGregor Comek, Atty.; 17 South High Street, Suite 700; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Truck rental business.
FAR WEST SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel zoned in the M-2, Manufacturing District that is currently being developed with an office/warehouse building. The requested Council variance will permit a truck rental business, including maintenance and service of the vehicles to be rented, within a separate building on the site. The variance is necessary as this use is considered to be a C-4, Commercial District use which is not permitted in the M-2 district. The site is within the planning area of the Trabue/Roberts Area Plan (2011), which recommends “Employment Center” uses at this location, a classification that includes offices, technology park clusters, research and development, light industrial operations, and visitor service establishments, with retail only as a secondary use. Although the requested use has a commercial component, the nature of the business is such that it is supportive and complementary to the predominant pattern of light industrial uses in this area.
