Explanation
Rezoning Application Z04-020
APPLICANT: Preferred Real Estate Investments II, LLC; c/o Jill S. Tangeman, Atty.; 600 South High Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Multi-family residential development.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (6-0) on
August 12, 2004.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.

The proposed density would set a precedent for higher densities along this stretch of Maple Canyon Avenue.
