A
A
Thank
you
I'd
like
to
remind
those
that
are
in
the
audience
and
watching
on
TV.
This
is
the
first
hearing
of
any
rezoning
case,
Tech's
change
or
special
exception
request
brought
before
us
today.
We
were
here
first
here
reading
at
the
staff
report
for
mr.
Renfro
for
the
case,
and
then
we
will
ask
to
have
to
get
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
request.
We
didn't
get
the
opportunity
for
anyone,
the
audience
that
would
like
to
speak
for
or
against
the
requests
or
to
inquire
about
said
requests.
A
The
commissioners
will
have
any
any
needed
discussion
on
the
case.
Once
the
motion
is
made
secretary
by
the
Commission,
a
vote
will
take
place.
Recommendation
will
be
rendered.
The
case
will
go
back
to
the
Planning
Department
for
their
independent
recommendation.
It
is
favored
if
it
is
a
favorable
recommendation,
then
the
case
is
forwarded
on
to
the
City
Council,
with
two
independent
record
recommendations.
A
If
the
Planning
Department
makes
a
recommendation
for
denial,
the
applicant
will
have
ten
days
from
the
letter
of
the
receipt
of
a
letter
of
the
denial
to
notify
the
Clerk
of
Council
that
they
are
requesting
to
be
placed
on
City
Council
agenda.
The
City
Council
of
Columbus
will
hold
a
public
meeting
first
reading
is
what
it'll
be
called
said.
Council
will
then
consider
the
case
review
the
P
AC
findings
and
Planet
Planning
Department
recommendations
hear
discussion
on
the
matter.
Council
will
then
make
a
final
decision
at
a
second
public
meeting.
A
A
Updated,
okay.
Are
there
any
other
changes?
Okay,
if
none
we'll
just
consider
the
minutes
accepted
all
right.
This
brings
us
to
our
first

today,
and
the

is
a

G
A
H
Name
is
Scott
Henry
and
with
celadon
Holdings
the
addresses
435
21st
Street
I
am
the
developer
I'm
also
joined
by
River
City
construction
and
to
WR
architects,
both
local
firms
that
are
involved
in
this
project,
so
we're
we're
housing
developers.
Our
mission
is
to
restore
historic
buildings
and
reposition
them
into
housing,
so
the
Rose
Hill
School
we
find
schools
are
perfect
examples
or
asset
types
to
be
repositioned
into
housing.
Roseville
Hill
School
is
a
perfect
example
of
that.
H
In
addition
to
restoring
the
existing
structure,
we'll
be
building
a
new
building
on
the
play
lot
area
just
to
the
east
of
the
structure,
it'll
be
a
new
building,
I
believe
three
stories.
The
architecture
will
be
compatible
with
the
existing
building,
but
it
won't
be
designed
to
match
it.
So
it's
really
important
when
restoring
these
historic
buildings
that
we
complement
the
existing
structure,
but
we
don't
copy
it.
So
it's
clearly
a
new
building,
but
but
what
kind
of
fits
in
with
the
existing
structure?
H
Some
of
the
concerns
that
you
raised
it'll
be
an
18
million
dollar
investment
in
Columbus,
we'll
be
hiring
locally
and
I'll,
be
asking
David
from
River
City
contracting
to
talk
a
bit
more
about
that
in
a
moment,
but
we
think
it's
a
great
opportunity
to
help
stabilize
the
neighborhood
with
this
project,
save
an
important
historic
building
and
bring
some
important
economic
development
into
the
into
the
Columbus
area.
I
guess
with
that
I
would
ask
Lee
from
WR
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
project.
I
11
9th
Street
we
we
had
the
opportunity
to
explore
this
building
and
it's
a
very
rich
historical
building,
very
rich
detailing
and
we're
proud
to
be
a
part
of
potentially
saving
this
building.
There
are
not
too
many
schools
of
this
age
that
are
of
this
quality
that
can
still
be
saved,
and
it's
our
hope
that
this
is
this.
The
economics
can
come
together
to
make
this
happen,
the
site.
I
You
know
part
of
the
one
thing
I
want
to
point
out,
I
hear
the
traffic
study,
but
this
is
also
in
an
area
where
we
expect
this
to
be
lower
income
housing.
You
know
these
are
gonna,
be
people
not.
This
is
like
with
cars,
there's
a
tremendous
number
of
bus
lines
across
this
the
site.
We
do
anticipate
that
the
the
access
to
all
the
bus
you're
less
than
a
mile
to
the
the
nearest
major
intersection
about
the
bus
traffic.
I
I
We're
still
early
early
stages,
there's
still
a
lot
of
exploration.
The
design
decisions
to
be
made
that
I
think
this
is
a
this
site
has
a
unique
opportunity
to
be
redeveloped
in
a
way.
That's
that's
very
supportive
of
the
city
and
gets
give
us
a
chance
to
preserve
a
nice
piece
of
history
in
Columbus.
G
H
Definitely,
we've
spoken
to
a
number
of
the
residents
in
the
area
that
have
called
me,
but
you
know
we.
We
would
value
the
opportunity
to
talk
to
everybody
in
the
area.
I
think
I
think
our
ultimate
intent
would
be
to
hold
a
community
meeting
in
the
area
and
invite
everybody
to
to
weigh
in
on
the
project.
F
I
H
A
G
Any
other
questions
I
know
I'm,
more
question:
Chloe
I'm,
sorry,
mr.
chairman,
no
buts
up,
but
we
talked
earlier
about
the
parking,
accommodations
and
I
heard
your
your
explanation
about
this
being
a
low-income,
but
you
know
I
think
it
will
be
wrong
to
make
an
assumption
that
low-income
individuals
may
not
have
vehicles
so
considering
that
there
one
or
two
vehicles
per
unit
will
there
be
enough
parking
to
accommodate
them
on
site
and
not
impact
the
narrow
streets
that
have
been
identified
so.
E
G
C
I
G
Know
part
of
what
we
have
to
take
into
consideration
is
things
like
Public
Safety
and
the
fire
trucks
being
I
can
get
down
the
street
where
you
have
a
lot
of
cars
on
the
road
that
could
create
complications
I,
just
basically
just
wanted
to
know.
Would
there
be
enough
park
in
there
to
atleast
accommodate
one
car
per
unit?
Our.
I
H
G
A
H
Mind
I'd
like
to
add
to
that
whether
folks
are
low
income
or
high
income
or
whatever
it
doesn't
really
dictate
how
many
cars
I
have.
You
know
we're
talking
we're
catering
to
folks
we're
families
here
and
there's
going
to
be
three
bedroom
units.
There
will
likely
be
folks
with
two
cars,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
accommodating
folks
we're
not
saying
that
low-income
folks
don't
have
cars.
It's
not
what
we're
saying
at
all.
We
to
the
contrary,
we're
catering
to
families
they're
going
they're
going
to
have
cars.
H
We
will
meet
the
zoning
requirement
that
we're
seeking
for
parking,
but
we
recognize
that
there
could
be
more
cars
than
then
then
that
particular
requirement.
That's
why
we
are
going
to
work
actively
with
the
city
to
identify
the
owners
if
there
are
owners
of
these
other
houses
in
the
area
that
are
dilapidated
and
abandoned,
to
buy
them
and
create
additional
parking
to
help
make
sure
we're
addressing
all
those
concerns.
That
said,
there
are
part
there
are
lots
of
bus
stops
in
the
area.
We're
walking.
A
H
So
mr.
humphreys,
we
asked
actually
Patrick,
you
know
hiring
locally.
These
are
important
projects
the
community
has
to
benefit.
We
feel
that
we
need
to
hire
locally
and
we
really
wanted
to
have
the
contractor
talk
about
you
know.
We've
told
sell
it
on
us,
told
the
contractor
it's
important
to
us
that
we
hire
locally
and
make
sure
the
money
been
it's
local
companies,
so
River
City
is
going
to
speak
to.
K
Patrick
Sphinx
River,
City
contracting
76,
go-cart
Road,
like
mr.
Henry,
said,
he's
been
very
concerned
and
appreciative
of
looking
locally
for
his
contractor
his
architect
and
expressed
that
same
interest
in
us
to
make
sure
from
a
subcontractor
standpoint
and
vendor
standpoint
that
we
do
the
same
thing
right
now.
You
know
obviously
the
the
benefits
of
revamping
that
area
contributing
to
the
architecture
of
the
building
and
the
new
addition.
That's
going
with
it
outside
of
that.
K
It's
important
for
us
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
hiring
local
and
in
creating
the
economic
benefit
of
it
right
now,
with
everything
we've
got
going
on
we're
at
about
95
percent,
local
participation
with
subcontractors
and
vendors.
We
anticipate
doing
that
same
thing
with
this
job,
if
not
trying
to
set
a
goal
of
100
percent.
You
know
overall
impact
to
the
construction
industry
locally
could
be
anywhere
between
12
and
15
million
dollars,
and
we
anticipate
probably
a
150
to
200
local
employees
being
employed
on
this
job
during
the
course
of
it.
Okay,.
A
L
Good
morning,
Dave
Goldberg
I'm
the
chief
operations
officer
for
the
school
system.
Currently,
this
is
the
school
system.
Property
in
the
sale
of
this
property
is
pending.
This
zoning
hearing
I
just
wanted
to
assure
this
council
that
our
Board
of
Education
has
been
informed
about
this
whole
situation.
They've
seen
the
site
plans
and
the
development
plans,
and
they
are
in
support
of
this
project,
all
right.
M
Good
morning
my
name
is
Aaron
booth,
Alire
and
I
have
a
business
diagonal
from
Rose
Hill
school
and
we've
been
there
about
thirteen
twelve
thirteen
years.
We're
optimistically
hopeful
that
this
could
be
a
good
fit
with
our
neighborhood.
Just
kind
of
you
know,
concerned,
or
at
least
like
to
make
sure
it
was
addressed.
Regarding
traffic
on
Road
parking,
I
mean,
as
it's
shown
now,
there's
not
sufficient
parking
on
site
and
there's
some
driveway
alignment
issues
and
things
that
we
just
want
to
kind
of
address
as
we
go
through
the
process.
M
A
N
My
name
is
Mary
Knowles
and
we
own
property
right
across
from
the
school.
In
fact,
I
taught
at
that
school
there
and
I'm
so
excited
about.
Seeing
this
happen,
the
thing
that
bothered
me
is
he
was
talking
about
the
landowners
working
I
mean
working
with
the
council
for
the
owners,
of
course,
and
we're
not
really
interested
in
selling
our
property
across
at
this
time.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
property
cannot
be
taken
by
public
domain
or
anything
like
that,
but
they
have
to
have
permission
to
buy
the
property
from
us.
A
A
N
H
Thank
you
for
the
question
we
we
wouldn't
be
interested
in
in
taking
or
buying
occupied
homes.
So
we
we
want
to
be
a
good
neighbor.
We're
interested
in
helping
to
stabilize
the
neighborhood
by
purchasing
properties
have
been
abandoned.
That
may
or
may
not
even
be
owned
by
somebody.
You
know
those
properties
that
I'm
thinking
of
cannot
be
rebuilt.
They
probably
should
be
demolished
anyways
and
their
people
are
not
living
in
them.
So
those
are
the
types
of
properties
I'd
be
interested
in.
Not
not.
Yours,
I
want
to
be
a
good
neighbor.
H
H
But
you
know
we'll
we'll
have
controlled
access,
we'll
we'll
have
landscaping
that
is
designed
in
a
way
that
there-there
are
not
hiding
spots
for
for
folks
that
shouldn't
be
around
we'll,
have
adequate
lighting
cameras
and,
like
I,
said
controlled
access.
This
is
not
a
HUD
building.
This
will
not
be
public
housing.
We
will
be
possibly
financing
the
project
with
some
low-income
housing
tax
credits,
but
the
income
targeting
that
we
would
be
catering
to
would
be
more
of
the
60
to
80
percent
ami
range,
not
the
public
housing
range
which
is
far
lower
than
that.
H
F
A
follow-up
question:
if
you
would
please
I'm
sorry
and
I,
know
that
your
site
plan
is
just
a
rendering,
but
I
still
have
a
concern
following
up
on
mr.
Reese,
that
they're
not
enough
parking
spaces
in
your
rendering
to
even
have
one
car
per
apartment,
and
then
also,
if
you
will,
you
talked
about
lighting,
would
there
be
any
bleed
over
you're
gonna
design
that
lighting?
So
it
does
not
bleed
into
other
properties
or

59
property
owners
within
300
feet
of
the
subjects
properties
were
notified
of
the
zoning
request.
The
planning
department
received
two
calls
approving
this
rezoning
and
there
was
no
additional
information.
C

I
see
that
the
applicant
originally
had
requested
a
neighborhood
commercial
zoning,
and
then
that
was
changed.
I
assume,
after
consultation
with
the
city,
to
requesting
historic
zoning
and
I
wonder
if
you
could
explain
the
implications
of
that,
because
at
first
glance
it
seemed
more
like
a
neighborhood
commercial
than
historic
I.
Don't
know
that
anything
else
in
that
area
is
historic
and
historic
would
require
review
by
the
board
of
historic
and
architectural
review.
I
think
right.
O
In
mourning
will
Johnson
Planning
Department
mr.
Dudley
howl
in
Hall
is
on
the
National
Register
as
a
landmark
property,
so
it
is
already
subject
to
the
be
har
because
it
is
a
landmark
property.
The
H
is
T.
Zoning
qualifies
for
that
location
as
they
live
work
NC
before
we
spoke
with
the
applicants.
The
sign
went
up
as
neighborhood
commercial,
but
a
neighborhood
commercial
would
not
allow
the
live
portion
of
the
live
work.
It
would
just
have
to
be
a
commercial
entity.
A
P
I'm
mark
McCollum,
my
address
is
765
Ray
Drive
here
in
Columbus
Georgia
I'm
here
representing
the
applicant
mr.
David
Benefield.
Mr.
Benefield
is
with
us
this
morning.
If
the
committee
has
questions
for
him,
we
are
requesting
the
rezoning
of
the
property
located
at
1504
17th
Street.
It
is
currently,
as
was
mentioned
in
the
staff
report,
a
residential
property.
Mr.
Benefield
is
the
owner
of
currently
the
owner
of
Ann's
porch,
which
is
a
local
florist.
There
Girard
Street
in
st.
anamosa
ping
Center.
P
P
P
The
property
had
been
has
been
used
lately
as
rental
needed.
A
little
little
updating
paint
has
been
going
on.
Hopefully,
some
new
landscaping
can
be
happening
pretty
soon.
Some
tree
trimming.
That
sort
of
thing
is
all
that's
been
taking
place.
There
are
no
plans,
of
course,
to
change
any
of
the
exterior
of
the
property
other
than
landscaping,
so
there'll
be
no
changes
to
the
exterior
of
the
property
if
there
are
any
at
some
future
point.
Of
course,
it
would
go
to
the
Board
of
historic
and
architectural
review,
as
is
required
right.
P
I
mean
he
again:
he
has
a
storefront
located
at
st.
Nomo
shopping
center.
He
plans
to
move
there
and
use
the
front
part
of
the
property
of
the
house
as
his
business.
He
will
have
some
customers
coming
to
that
location.
The
majority
the
vast
majority
of
his
business
is
with
a
lot
of
businesses.
These
days
is
by
telephone
people
call
in
orders,
so
there's
very
limited
foot
traffic
that
comes
to
that
property,
but
he
will
be
operating
out
of
it
as
his
storefront
or
is
his
business
retail
location.
Okay,.
P
Yes,
part
of
we
submitted
the
application
for
for
the
rezoning,
of
course,
and
as
part
of
that
process,
to
keep
things
moving
so
that
the
business
relocates
in
a
timely
matter,
we've
had
codes
and
inspections
come
up,
go
through
the
property,
make
sure
it's
appropriate
I.
Think
mr.
Johnson
mentioned
the
need
for
compatibility
with
the
zoning
request
for
it
to
be
livable
and.
J
J
Noticed
where
that
probably
is
the
street
that
comes
out
to
17th,
Street
I,
think
they're,
not
mistaken,
that's
right!
It's
a
real
awkward
connection
to
17th,
Street
and
I.
Just
wonder
if
you
are
going
to
make
a
business
out
of
it.
How
is
that
going
to
affect
the
traffic
right
there
that
little
funny
intersection?
We.
P
Don't
anticipate
any
any
traffic
impact
again
the
the
average
customer
customers
going
to
that
property
on
a
daily
basis
or
sixty
eight
six
to
eight
customers
per
day
on
average,
and
so
we
don't
expect
any
traffic
increases
as
far
as
affecting
the
current
existing
traffic
flow
by
any
means,
so
it
should
be
very
limited.
There
is
off
street
parking
at
that
facility.
So
again
he
his
customers
can
pull
off
into
a
designated
parking
space.
It's
an
adjacent
lot
that
is
owned
by
mr.
Benefield.

A
Q
Elizabeth
Parker
1328,
Elmwood,
Drive
I'm,
also
the
executive
director
of
historic,
Columbus
and
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
statement
of
support.
We
have
been
working
with
the
property
owner,
David
Benefield,
as
well
as
the
planning
department
and
are
in
support
of
this
zoning
change
and
feel
that
it
is
appropriate
for
the
proposed
use
of
the
property,
as
well
as
for
the
future
of
the
property
after
David
is
no
longer
there.
Okay.

historic,
while
the

be

and
the

It
is

with

I
move
that
we
approve.
We
have
a

A
Do
we
have
a

mr.

any

all

raise
your

all
opposed
by
the

side,
and
it
is
a
affirmative
okay
that
completes
our
cases
for
today.
Is
there
any
new
business
or
anything
we
need
to
bring
up?
No,
sir,
all
right,
that's
it
I
like
to
call
this
meeting
adjourned.
Thank
you.
