PLANNING COMMISSION: Denial

PLANNING STAFF: Withdrawal Without Prejudice

PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The zoning proposal to the R-60 (Residential Medium Lot) District is consistent with the following policy of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan: Encourage compatible architecture styles that maintain regional and neighborhood character. The development as proposed is compatible with adjacent and nearby residential subdivisions along South Deshon Road. Transportation improvements as required by DeKalb County Public Works Department will help mitigate the impact on traffic in the area. On Tuesday, February 27, 2018, The Department of Planning and Sustainability received a request to withdraw the petition by the owner's representative. Therefore, Planning and Sustainability recommends "WITHDRAWAL WITHOUT PREJUDICE" of the rezoning request.
