Council Variance Application: CV04-020
APPLICANT: Nathan D. Fisher; 2211 North Fourth Street; Columbus, Ohio 43203.
PROPOSED USE: Four-family dwelling.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is undeveloped and is located directly north of a high-density multi-family residential development and east of a commercial parking lot.
