Council Variance Application: CV25-023
APPLICANT: Joshua Tomey; 1286 East Fulton Street; Columbus, OH 43205.

NORTH CENTRAL AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one undeveloped parcel in the R, Rural District. The requested Council variance will allow a two-unit dwelling, which is not an allowable use in the R district.
