RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Denial.
PLANNING COMMISSION: No Recommendation due to failure to pass motion
PLANNING STAFF: Approval, of the substitute conditions
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: The requested modifications would not change the development to the extent that it would become inconsistent with the policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The modifications would relocate a unit from the front row of buildings to the back row. The move will require a variance to the 20-foot buffer. The staff also recommends full access on Stephens Road since exit on Briarcliff Road is not possible. The requested modifications would not change the number of residential units. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends “Approval” of the requested modifications, subject to the approval of the variance to be heard by the BZA.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: No recommendation. 1st MOTION: was made by J. Johnson moved, A. Atkins seconded for a full cycle deferral. That motion failed 4-4-0. 2nd MOTION: was made by Paul Womack Jr., seconded by April Atkins, that this agenda item be approved with conditions per staff recommendation. That motion failed 2-6-0
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Denial, 5-0-0. The community council board thought that the zoning proposal was not suitable.
