Explanation
Council Variance Application CV24-035
APPLICANT: Nigel Ewan; 171 East Pacemont Road; Columbus, OH 43202.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.

The site is within the planning boundaries of the Clintonville Neighborhood Plan (2009), which recommends “Single Family” uses at this location. Staff notes that this request is consistent with the adjacent residential development pattern of the neighborhood.
