Rezoning Application Z18-068
APPLICANT: National Church Residences; c/o Matthew Bierlein, Agent; 2335 North Bank Drive; Columbus, OH 43220.

A concurrent Council Variance (Ordinance #1026-2019; CV18-092) has been filed to reduce the minimum number of parking spaces required, building lines, and minimum side yards, and to increase building height for a senior housing development.
