Explanation
AN08-008
BACKGROUND: This ordinance is being submitted to set forth the municipal services and zoning conditions the city of Columbus will provide upon annexation of a territory located in Mifflin Township. This ordinance is required by the Ohio Revised Code as enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Ohio. Notice of the annexation request was received from Franklin County.
