REZONING APPLICATION: Z07-053
APPLICANT: Joshua Weir; 367 West Third Avenue; Columbus, Ohio 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Single-family and two-family dwelling.
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval (5-0) on March 13, 2008.

The proposed rezoning is compatible with the zoning and development patterns of the area.
