Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV19-135
APPLICANT: Teen Challenge for Girls, Inc.; c/o Mark R. Denny, Agent; 1675 Gateway Circle; Grove City, OH 43123.
PROPOSED USE: Shared living facility expansion.
NORTHEAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with a shared living facility established by Ordinance #1329-96 (CV96-007) in the R-1, Residential District. A new Council variance is required for a proposed building and garage that will provide space for their programming needs, and to permit parking for a food truck associated with fundraising efforts for the facility. Additionally, the request includes a parking reduction from 37 required spaces to 24 provided spaces. The site lies within the planning boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends institutional land uses at this location. The request will allow an existing shared living facility to expand as shown on the submitted site plan, and does not add an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
