Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV06-039
APPLICANT: TG707, Inc.; c/o Donald Plank, Attorney; 145 East Rich Street; Columbus, Ohio 43215.
PROPOSED USE: School.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This request will allow a school in an existing office building in the L-M, Limited Manufacturing District.

Limited parking will be provided adjacent to the school with additional parking provided on the north side of Jenkins Avenue. A school is a permitted use in the M, Manufacturing District to the south and east and in the R-4, Residential District to the north and west. Approval of this request will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
