RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: DENIED
PLANNING COMMISSION: DEFERRAL UNTIL NOVEMBER 2019 REZONING CYCLE
PLANNING STAFF: Deferral Until November 2019 Rezoning Agenda
STAFF ANALYSIS: The proposed rezoning request from R-85 (Medium Lot Residential) District to HR-2 (High Density Residential-3) District is compatible with apartment zoning MR-2 (Medium Density Residential -2) District adjacent to the site along Briarcliff Road. The proposed apartments are suitable in view of the surrounding higher intensity commercial uses in the area. However, the applicant has requested that the rezoning petition be deferred until the November 2019 rezoning agenda in order to gather more information about the proposed plans and coordinate the timing of the development with MARTA’s improvements in the area. Therefore, per the applicant’s request, the Planning and Sustainability Department recommends that the application be “Deferred until the November 2019 rezoning agenda”.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Deferral to November 2019 9-0-0. A. Atkins moved, J. Johnson seconded for deferral to the November 2019 agenda, per Staff recommendation.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Denied 6-0-0.
