Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV07-018
APPLICANT: Pamela Anderson; c/o Ernie Cook, Agent; 4720 Elliott Road; Hilliard, OH 43026.

A Council variance is necessary because two-family dwellings are not a permitted use in the R-3, Residential District.

Staff recommends approval because the existing dwelling is consistent with the surrounding land use pattern and has posed no detrimental effect on the surrounding neighborhood since its construction in 1925.
