PURPOSE:
Application of Daniel J Reuter to rezone property from R-75 (Single-Family Residential) District to R-60 (Single-Family Residential) District to create two lots. The property is located on the southeast corner of Scott Boulevard and Pensdale Road, approximately 290 feet south of Eastland Road, at 1377 Scott Boulevard in Decatur, Georgia. The property has approximately 80 feet of frontage along Scott Boulevard, 200 feet of frontage along Pensdale Road and contains 0.36 acre.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Full Cycle Deferral.
PLANNING COMMISSION: Approval.
PLANNING STAFF: Denial.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The intent of the R-60 (Single-Family Residential) zoning district is to provide for the protection of neighborhoods within the County where lots have a minimum area of six thousand (6,000) square feet or three thousand five hundred (3,500) square feet. The proposed R-60 (Single-Family Residential) zoning district will be incompatible with adjacent and surrounding R-75 zoned properties. Per the County’s GIS, majority of those lots that surround the subject property have lot sizes that ranged from approximately 14,000 to 16, 000 square feet. The R-75 zoning district requires a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, causing the proposal of R-60 to be inconsistent with the adjacent and surrounding lot sizes. Therefore, it is the recommendation of Planning and Sustainability Department that the rezoning from R-75 (Residential Medium Lot) District to R-60 (Residential Medium Lot) District be “Denied”.
