CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one parcel developed with an office within the C-2, Commercial District. The requested R-2, Residential District will allow the existing building to be converted into a single-unit dwelling. The site is within the planning boundaries of the Scioto Southland Plan (2007), which recommends “Office” land uses at this location.
