Hilliard BZA allows reduced floor-space requirement so All Seasons Spas can reoccupy 4342 Lyman Drive
Summary
The board approved a variance to allow a secondary permitted use and reduce the square-footage required for a primary permitted use at 4342 Lyman Drive, enabling All Seasons Spas to return to the site with showroom/warehouse split under staff conditions.
The Hilliard Board of Zoning Appeals voted unanimously to approve a variance permitting a reduced floor-space requirement and establishment of a secondary permitted use at 4342 Lyman Drive, allowing All Seasons Spas to reoccupy the property with a showroom/warehouse configuration.
Staff introduced the case and noted the applicant and planning staff agreed the proposed configuration (roughly 44% showroom under the applicant’s plan) sits under the 50% showroom limit and that two staff conditions were recommended. Planning staff introduced Christina, the planning intern, who presented the case as her first hearing.
John Royer, president of Core Royer Griffith representing All Seasons Spas, told the board that many older commercial buildings now accommodate mixed retail and office uses and urged flexibility in applying the newer code limits. He said the current proposal leaves a small buffer under the 50% showroom limit and that the owners would return if the business model changed.
After closing public comment, the board approved the variance to Hillyard Code section 1116.06(G) with the two staff-recommended conditions.
