Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV26-027
APPLICANT: Moo Moo Express Car Wash; c/o Dave Perry, Agent; David Perry Company; 411 East Town Street, Floor 1; Columbus, OH 43215 and Donald Plank, Atty.; Plank Law Firm; 411 East Town Street, Floor 2; Columbus, OH 43215.
PROPOSED USE: Automatic car wash.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

The submitted site plan and landscaping plan demonstrate sufficient screening from public right-of-way and the addition of several trees to the subject site.
