Explanation

Council Variance Application: CV22-003

APPLICANT: Healthy Rental Homes LLC; c/o Elizabeth Seedorf, Atty.; 52 East Gay Street; Columbus, OH 43215.

PROPOSED USE: Two-unit residential development.

This request is consistent with the development pattern in the surrounding area, and is similar to other approved variance proposals that have been supported. Additionally, the provided building elevations are of character with surrounding dwellings.
