legal status of such, except as provided for within specific zoning districts

in Section 7.4.2;



WHEREAS, applicant has requested a hardship variance to waive said

requirement pursuant to Article 3, Section 7.4.2 (A) which allows residential

requirements when approved by the City Council on a case-by-case basis;



NOW, THEREFORE, THE COUNCIL OF COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, HEREBY RESOLVES:



That the criterion of Section 7.4.2(A), which provides that all lots front on a
