Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-072
APPLICANT: Ibrahim Al-Hejazin c/o Mahir Becirovic, Atty.; 24 North High Street; Columbus, OH 43215.

The site is recommended for “Mixed Use 2” land uses by the Columbus Growth Strategy (2026), which is consistent with the proposed use. Additionally, staff note that the property is an existing commercial use and that this proposal will not introduce an incompatible use to the neighborhood.
