RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Denial
PLANNING COMMISSION: Withdrawal Without Prejudice
PLANNING STAFF: Withdrawal Without Prejudice
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed rezoning request to rezone property from C-1 (Local Commercial) District and MR-2 (Medium Density Residential-2) District to MR-2 (Medium Density Residential-2) District to develop 224 apartment units is compatible with other MR-2 zoned properties on Candler Road and developed with apartments in the area but may not be compatible with stable single-family detached residential development along Kelly Lake Road. However, the applicant has submitted a letter requesting withdrawal of the application. Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Planning and Sustainability Department that the application be “Withdrawn Without Prejudice”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: 8-0-0. V. Moore moved, J. Johnson seconded for withdrawal without prejudice due to the owner withdrawing their authorization.
