Rezoning Application Z21-010
APPLICANT: American Electric Power Service Corporation; c/o Kevin Kindy, Agent; 172 East State Street, Suite 600; Columbus, OH 43215.

The request is compatible with the surrounding zoning districts to the north and east which both permit I, Institutional District uses.
