Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-121
APPLICANT: Blue Chip Homes QOZB, LLC; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, 1st Floor; Columbus, OH 43215, and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, 2nd Floor; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwellings.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of three undeveloped parcels in the R-3, Residential District. The applicant proposes to develop each lot with a two-unit dwelling.
