Explanation
Council Variance Application: CV21-008
APPLICANT: Abigail and Sean Cowan; 6638 Merwin Road; Columbus, OH 43235.
PROPOSED USE: Single-unit dwelling.

A Council variance is necessary because the M district does not permit a single-unit dwelling and allows only limited residential uses. The site is located within the boundaries of the “Southern Tier” of the Brewery District Plan (1993), which supports residential uses. The proposal is also compatible with the residential uses that are prevalent in the surrounding neighborhood.
