Council Variance Application: CV13-022
APPLICANT: All A Cart Manufacturing, Inc.; c/o Elizabeth Roach, Atty.; 600 South High Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Recording studio with music rehearsal/performance space.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with an office/industrial building zoned in the M-1, Manufacturing District.
