Explanation
Rezoning Application Z05-015
APPLICANT: Goo Goo Car Wash; c/o David Perry, Agent.; The David Perry Company; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Car wash and commercial development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-1) on April 14, 2005.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
