RECOMMENDATIONS:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Deferral.
PLANNING COMMISSION: Full Cycle Deferral.
PLANNING STAFF: Approval with Conditions.
PLANNING STAFF ANALYSIS: The zoning proposal has been determined to be suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby property. It is consistent with the following policy of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan: “Create compact mixed- use districts and reduce automobile dependency and travel to obtain basic services.” (Land Use Policy 2). Additionally, the zoning proposal is consistent with the updated North Druid Hills Livable Centers Initiative Plan-Briarcliff Node update. As a multi-family residential building, the proposed development provides a transition from more intense mixed-used development and less intense residential adjoining properties and is therefore not expected to negatively affect their use or usability. Therefore, the Department of Planning and Sustainability recommends, “Approval” with conditions.
PLANNING COMMISSION VOTE: Full Cycle Deferral 9-0-0. J. West moved, A. Atkins seconded for full cycle deferral, as per the Staff recommendation.
COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Full Cycle Deferral, 5-0-0.
