PURPOSE:
Application of Tarick Miller to rezone property from the O-I district (with conditions pursuant to CZ-77-118) to RSM (Residential Small Lot Mix) to allow a room addition to the existing unoccupied house on the property and allow it to be used for residential purposes. The property is located the north side of Belvidere Lane, approximately 528 feet east of Memorial Drive, at 2866 Belvidere Lane, Decatur. The property has approximately 61 feet of frontage on Belvidere Lane and contains 0.21 acre.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: NO QUORUM; 6 MEMBERS PRESENT RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH A CONDITION.
PLANNING COMMISSION: FULL CYCLE DEFERRAL.
PLANNING STAFF: APPROVAL WITH A CONDITION.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposal is supported by 2035 Comprehensive Plan policies that encourage investment in existing residential neighborhoods. Use of the property for residential purposes would be consistent with the single-family residential use of nearby properties in the Belvedere Park neighborhood. It would convert the house from its current condition as a vacant eyesore to an occupied, viable part of the neighborhood. Renovation of the house has the potential to increase the value and livability of other homes on the same block. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends “Approval with a condition”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Full Cycle Deferral, 6-0-0. J. West moved, V. Moore seconded for a full cycle deferral because the applicant did not appear at the hearing.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: No quorum. All six Board members present at the Community Council meeting recommended, based on the desirability of renovating the property for occupancy, approval with the condition that the property be used only for a single-family residence.
