APPLICANT: Quinn Fallon; 1017 North Sixth Street; Columbus, OH 43201.
PROPOSED USE: Eating and drinking establishment.

CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a 2,050± square foot eating and drinking establishment in the R-4, Residential District as permitted by CV06-014 (Ordinance No. 1053-2006). The applicant is requesting an updated Council variance to permit a 700 square foot roof-top patio and a 50± square foot bathroom addition.

This proposal will contribute to the planned revitalization of the Italian Village East neighborhood. Continuation of this commercial use is consistent with the recommendation of the Italian Village East Redevelopment Plan, and with the development pattern of the area.
