Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV23-030
APPLICANT: SBH Medical; c/o Jackson B. Reynolds, Atty.; 37 W. Broad St., Suite 460; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Pharmacy.

The request is consistent with the “Employment Center” land use recommendation of the Far North Area Plan (2014). Staff supports the proposed use as it is consistent with the area plan and will not add an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
