Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV25-031
APPLICANT: Saul Dimas Nonato; 6099 Spotted Tail Court; Dublin, OH 43017.
PROPOSED USE: Two-unit dwelling.
GREATER HILLTOP AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Disapproval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of one formerly developed parcel in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow a two-unit dwelling at this location. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district does not allow two-unit dwellings.

The submitted site plan and building elevations are consistent with these recommendations.
