Explanation
Council Variance Application CV23-094
APPLICANT: Deonte Holder; c/o Brenda Parker, Agent; 405 North Front Street; Columbus, OH 43215.

A Council variance is required because the R-2 district only allows one single-unit dwelling per lot as residential uses. The site is located in an area that does not have a Council adopted land use plan. Approval of this request will not add new or incompatible uses to the area.
