PROPOSED USE: Single-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on July 10, 2003.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The applicant requests the R-2, Residential District to develop a single-family subdivision. The proposed development is a continuation of an established single-family development to the south and will provide stub streets to the undeveloped land to the north.

Deviation from this plan is warranted due to the subsequent development pattern in the area and the establishment of the single-family subdivision to the south.

WHEREAS, the Development Commission recommends approval of said zoning change; and
WHEREAS, the City Departments recommend approval of said zoning change because the proposed development is a continuation of an established single-family development to the south and will provide stub streets to the undeveloped land to the north. While the site lies within Area E.1. of the Far North Area Plan, which follows Orange Township recommendation of commercial and light manufacturing uses, deviation from this plan is warranted due to the subsequent development pattern in the area and the establishment of the single-family subdivision to the south; now, therefore:
WHEREAS, an emergency exists in the usual daily operation in the City of Columbus in that it is immediately necessary to begin construction as soon as possible for the immediate preservation of the public peace, property, health and safety; now therefore:
