A Council Variance (CV24-161) and concurrent rezoning (Z24-072) have been recommended for approval to allow the development of a self-storage facility and limited commercial uses at 1941 Stelzer Road in Columbus, OH. The project involves rezoning three parcels totaling 4.1 acres to L-M, Limited Manufacturing District, along with variances for reduced building setbacks. The variances requested are to reduce the building setback along Stelzer Road from 60 feet to 20 feet and the distance separation from residentially-zoned property from 25 feet to 10 feet along the southern property line. The site is located at the southwest corner of Stelzer Road and Citygate Drive. The applicant, Cardinal Self Storage LLC, seeks to construct five single-story buildings. The Northeast Area Commission recommended approval on March 13, 2025. Staff also supported the variances despite not fully supporting the self-storage use, noting its consistency with Plan design guidelines for building frontage. The area is primarily an industrial park with commercial and industrial uses, and the self-storage facility is considered a less-intensive use than currently permitted C-4 and C-5 uses.
