Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV23-042

APPLICANT: Abigail Dalesandro, Atty.; 39 East Whittier Street; Columbus, OH 43206.

PROPOSED USE: Barber shop, beauty salons, and nail salons.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The subject site is developed with three office buildings in the C-2, Commercial District. The site is subject to Ordinance #0653-2019 (CV19-007), passed March 18, 2019, which allowed a beauty salon to occupy 4,261 square feet of the existing middle office building. This request will repeal the existing ordinance and will allow barber shops or beauty and nail salons as permitted uses throughout this entire office complex. A Council variance is necessary because barber shops or beauty and nail salons are C-1, Commercial District uses, and are not allowed in the C-2, Commercial District. The site is located within the boundaries of The Northwest Plan (2016), which recommends “Office” land uses at this location. Staff supported the existing Council variance and continues to support the proposed use as a limited form of retail that is otherwise compatible with smaller scale office uses as is present at this location.
