Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-126
APPLICANT: Healthy Homes c/o Gretchen West; PO Box 77499; Columbus, OH 43207
PROPOSED USE: Two two-unit dwellings.

The proposal is consistent with the land use recommendation of the North Linden Neighborhood Plan Amendment (2014) for “Low-Medium Density Residential” uses, and will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
