Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV05-023
APPLICANT: Albert Dowden; c/o Therese Rubadue; 855 South Sunbury Road; Westerville, Ohio 43081.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-family dwelling in the M, Manufacturing District.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will allow an existing single-family dwelling to be conforming in the M, Manufacturing District. A Council variance is necessary in that single-family dwellings are prohibited in the M, Manufacturing District. A hardship exists in that the lending institution will only finance a conforming use in the district, and the owners cannot preserve the building without additional financing.
