Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV24-131
APPLICANT: Joel R. Simmons; c/o Tim Lai, Agent; 401 West Town Street; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Two single-unit dwellings on one lot.

The site is located within the planning boundaries of the Northeast Area Plan (2007), which recommends “Low Density Residential” land uses at this location, but also encourages a mix of housing types and sizes, consistent with the requested variance.
