A
To
ask
everybody
president
to
please
silence
or
turn
off
your
cell
phones
I
remind
those

the
audience
and
those
watching
on
TV
that
this
is
the
first
hearing
of
the
rezoning
and
text
change,
requests
that
are
being
brought
before
us
today.
We'll
first
hear
a
reading
of
the
staff
report
for
each
Case
by
planning
staff
and
ask
the
applicant
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
request.
A
Then
we'll
give
the
opportunity
for
anyone
else
in
the
audience
to
speak,
for
or
against
the
request
or
to
ask
questions
and
the
Commissioners
will
have
any
needed
discussion
about
the
case.
Once
emotion
is
made,
and
second
and
by
the
commission,
a
vote
will
take
place
and
a
recommendation
will
be
given.
The
case
will
go
back
to
the
planning
department
for
its
independent
recommendation.
If
a
favorable
recommendation
is
given,
then
the
case
is
forwarded
to

two
independent
recommendations.

A
C
Yes,

use
is
inconsistent

planting
area
F.
The
current
land

It
is
compatible
with
the
existing
land
uses.
The

does
not
lie
within
the
floodway
and
flood
plain
area.
A

issuance
of
a

development
permit.
If
a

is
required,
property
is

The

There'll

The

There's

C
The

South
is

to
the
east,
is
GC
to
the
West
as
Ro
43
Property
Owners
within
300
feet
of
the

Property
were
notified
of
the
rezoning
request.
The
planning
department
received
no
calls
and
or
emails
regarding
the
rezoning
additional
information
the
applicant
is
requesting
to
rezone
to
build
a
single-family
residence
which
is
not
technically
building
it.
It's
being
moved
to
that
location,
it's
technically
already
there.
C
A
B
Morning,
my
name
is
Justin
Krieg
620,
Front
Avenue,
like
Mr
info
described
I've,
got
a
vacant
lot
at
3617,
2nd
Avenue.
It's
currently
zoned
Ro,
it
I
came
to
own
it
as
a
part
of
a
larger
project.
That's
located
adjacent
to
the
north
of
the
site
and
and
really
didn't
have
plans
to
develop
this
vacant
lot.
Previously
there
was
a
house
on
the
site,
but
it
was
demolished
prior
to
my
taking
ownership
of
it
and
long
story
short
about
three
blocks
to
the
south
at
32,
17,
2nd
Avenue.
B
There
are
three
large
mature
pecan
trees
that
the
neighbor
to
the
south
of
me
likes
to
to
get
the
pecans
and
I
didn't
want
to
mess
up
those
trees
and
so
pulling
this
house
to
the
front
to
align
with
the
the
remaining
kind
of
bib
City
Mill
houses
along
2nd
Avenue.
In
that
block
it
does
give
that
alignment
with
the
street
and
the
adjacent
properties,
but
it
also
stays
out
of
the
mature
tree
canopy
of
the
pecan
tree
in
the
back
as
well.
So,
but
I
think
it
is
positioned
correctly
on
the
lot
of.
B
So
and
John
I
don't
know
if
you've
got
the
ability
to
pull
up
like
the
aerial
shot,
but
I
mean
just
north
of
where
this
house
is
is
a
small
little
parking
lot,
that
that
provides
parking
for
the
the
bib
office
and
Loft,
which
is
building,
which
is
six
apartments
and
and
about
a
dozen
professional
office
spaces.
Okay,
that's
that's
a
property
that
was.
B
B
B
B
B

E

A

F
That's
correct:
okay,
what
this
does
is
you're
you're
allowed.
You
can
have
your
house
any
color
you
want
to.
You
can
put
polka
dots
on
it.
Bhar
has
nothing.
They
can't
determine
anything
about
color,
because
it's
subjective,
but
something
that
is
unpainted
and
gets
painted.
That
is
a
material
change.
So
if
you
have
a
brick
house,
natural
brick
and
they
go
in,
there
paint
it
in
the
historic
district
that
is
violated.
That's
a
material
change
and
that's
what
they're
trying
to
police
and
it's
just
something
that
was
just
left
out
of
the
ordinance.

This
is
due
October
31st
of
this
year,
as
I
just
said:
we're
fully
overhaul
it
every
10
years,
so
in
2028
we'll
do
the
full
two-year
update
five-year
updates
required
by
Georgia
Department
of
Community
Affairs
in
2012
DCA
changed
their
rules
on
Five-Year
updates.
They
required
more
than
just
updating
the
community
work
program.
F
When
we
did
ours
in
2013,
they
were
still
in
transition
with
their
new
rules,
so
we
didn't
have
to
follow
them.
We
just
did
it
the
old
way,
just
updating
the
short-term
work
program
this
year.
Dca
now
requires
all
aspects
of
that
2012
rule
change
to
be
reviewed
and
updated.
So
it
is
it's
almost.
They
almost
want
you
to
go
through
and
do
this
every
five
years,
but
most
folks
don't
have
two
hundred
thousand
dollars
to
get
a
consultant
and
do
it
every
five
years.
F
F

A
A
G
A
A
Fourth,
bring
it
back
to
us
on
October
4th
and
are
we
going
to
have
other
cases
for
the
fourth?
So
we
definitely
will
have
a
meeting
okay
and
will
that
will
that
cause
a
lot
of
problems
for
dealing
with
counsel
you'll
still
have
enough
time
to
get
approved?
Yes,
okay,
then,
unless
anybody
objects
I'll
ask
that
you
you
do
that
that
everybody
agreed
okay,
so
Commissioners
should
go
ahead
and
look
at
Trello
and
and
review
the
plan,
and
then
we
can
be
ready
to
vote
on
at
our
next
meeting.
