Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV07-034
APPLICANT: James Boggs; 190 Parkwood Avenue; Pickerington, Ohio 43147.
PROPOSED USE: Single-family dwelling.
NORTH LINDEN AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. This request will permit an existing single-family dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District. A Council variance is necessary in that a single-family dwelling is not a permitted use in the C-4, Commercial District. Approval of this request will alleviate financing issues by allowing for replacement of the current structure if it is destroyed by 50% or more. The proposed variance will not introduce an incompatible use to the area.
