there's a bedroom over here to the right of the door in this area here and then this is the kitchen
area. The second floor you would enter here. Come in into the kitchen area to the left or you can
go straight into the bedroom straight ahead. And then this would be the living room area here.
The third floor, excuse me, I have to move this to the side here.
The third floor you would enter here. There is a living room area here and a bathroom as well up
And then you would enter into the roof area either here or here.
And then the basement would just be a finished basement or a clean basement.

the comprehensive plan recommends no change to the residential single-family zoning at this
location. The appellant seeks two dwelling units, an existing row home. This is a primarily single
family block face with a church about mid-block. There is no unique physical condition or
circumstance of this property that would prevent it from being used in conformance with the zoning
code. 2923 West Florist Street is the newest home on the block. It was built in 2016 as a single
family row the city planning commission recommends the board deny the proposed use variance for two
dwelling units thank you mi 2023-005-591-2938 west florist street i vote yes
