This application is for a Council Variance at an existing community clubhouse with a private eating and drinking establishment and office, serving an off-site apartment complex at 5451 Edwards Run Road in Columbus, Ohio. The applicant seeks to open the eating and drinking establishment to the public. To facilitate this, several variances are requested, including permission for a 5,930 square foot public restaurant in an L-ARLD (Limited Apartment Residential District) zone, a reduction in required parking from 114 to 81 spaces (a 33-space reduction), a decrease of the 25-foot perimeter yard on the south side to 0 feet, and the waiver of a 5-foot tall screening requirement and reduction of a 4-foot wide buffer to 0 feet along the southern property line. The applicant's rationale for the parking reduction is that 35 spaces on an abutting property are available for use. City staff and the Hayden Run West Civic Association have recommended approval of the variances, with the civic association voting 3-0 in favor on January 13, 2025.
