Council Variance Application: CV05-026
APPLICANT: Brian Humble; 1240 Williams Road; Columbus, Ohio 43207.
PROPOSED USE: To conform an existing single-family dwelling in the M, Manufacturing District.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This variance will allow an existing single-family dwelling to be conforming in the M, Manufacturing District.
