Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-102
APPLICANT: Joshua Tomey; 1286 East Fulton Street; Columbus, OH 43205.

Variances to lot size and minimum side yards are included in this request. Staff supports the request as the submitted plans are consistent with the Northland I Area Plan’s (2014) land use recommendation of “Low-Medium Density Residential,” and the proposed use will not add an incompatible use to the area.
