The Columbus City Council considered a variance application (CV24-161) to allow reduced building setbacks for a proposed 4.1-acre self-storage facility at 1941 Stelzer Road. The variances sought to decrease the required building setback from 60 feet to 20 feet along Stelzer Road and from 25 feet to 10 feet along the southern property line, which abuts a residential district. This variance request was made concurrently with a rezoning application (Z24-072) to change the property's zoning to L-M, Limited Manufacturing District. City staff supported the variances, citing consistency with Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines regarding building placement, despite not fully supporting the self-storage use itself due to the area's "Office-Light Industrial" land-use recommendation. The Northeast Area Commission recommended approval for both the variance and the rezoning. The applicant argued that the self-storage facility, as a low-intensity use, is compatible with the surrounding mixed-use industrial park and would avoid significant negative impacts on the neighborhood concerning traffic, noise, or city services, also allowing for lower building heights more consistent with adjacent residential uses.
