Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV25-092

APPLICANT: Diane Johnson; 2744 Fairwood Avenue; Columbus, OH 43207.

PROPOSED USE: Manufactured home.

FAR SOUTH COLUMBUS AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.

Staff supports the request as it is consistent with both the Tri-South Neighborhood Plan’s (2004) recommendation of “Single-Family Residential,” and Columbus Citywide Planning Policies (C2P2) Design Guidelines (2018), and not that the proposed use will not add an incompatible use to the area.
