Council Variance Application CV17-015
APPLICANT: Pine Hill Investments; c/o Richelle Sammons; 1077 Franklin Avenue; Health, OH 43056.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.
COLUMBUS SOUTH SIDE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The requested variance will conform an existing single-unit dwelling in the C-4, Commercial District.
