427 Plum: Building at right
City Council's Economic Development Committee will consider today a notwithstanding ordinance that would allow a veterinarian to relocate from Walnut Hills to Downtown.
Dr. Robert Biederman Jr, DVM, who currently practices at the Cincinnati Central Animal Hospital at 650 E McMillan Street, wants to move his practice to 427 Plum Street (BIRD'S EYE) to better serve the growing Downtown population.
The ordinance is necessary because the building is located in Downtown Development District A (DD-A), which does not permit animal services.
Biederman believes that the ordinance should be approved because of the building's proximity to the DD-B zone, which begins south of Perry Street and does allow for such a use.
He has also hired LG Tokarsky and Associates to design the floor plans to address any concerns that Council or neighboring businesses might have with the conditional use.
An internet search shows that no animal hospitals or veterinary services are located within the Cincinnati basin.
