PURPOSE:
The Board of Commissioners initiated an amendment to the map and text of the Scottdale Overlay district, at the request of some Scottdale residents, to convert properties in Tier 1, which allows commercial, townhouses and mixed uses to Tiers II and IV which allow only single family detached houses by right. After a series of meetings with the community, staff has amended Tier I on the east and west side of Ponce de Leon Ave., as to approved uses, established a maximum density in each tier and amended some of the development standards. The map was amended for parcels east of North Clarendon Ave., south of North Decatur Rd., and north of Ponce de Leon Ave.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Deferral (4/17/18)
PLANNING COMMISSION: Full Cycle Deferral (5/1/18)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL
PLANNING STAFF: APPROVAL
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: Staff attended several meetings with the commissioners and the citizens, together and individually. This text amendment and map change is the result of a compromise and is not a comprehensive amendment to the overlay. The changes are minimal and affects very few properties. Much of the amendment was to consolidate the development standards into charts and improve the language of some of the existing regulations.
