Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV20-034
APPLICANT: Juliet Bullock, Architect; 1182 Wyandotte Road; Columbus, OH 43212.

LIVINGSTON AVENUE AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site consists of a single parcel developed with a single-unit dwelling in the R-3, Residential District.

Variances for lot width, area district requirements, fronting, and rear yard are included with this request. The site is located within the planning area of the Near Southside Plan (2011), which recommends “Medium Density Mixed Residential” uses at this location.
