No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
Please
do
me
a
favor
and
silence
or
turn
off
your
cellphone's
before
we
begin,
if
you
have
not
done
that
already,
I
would
like
to
remind
those
in
the
audience
and
those
watching
on
television
that
this
is
the
first
hearing
of
any
rezoning
tax
change
or
special
exception
requests
brought
before
us
today.
We
will
first
hear
a
reading
of
the
staff
report
for
the
case
by
the
planning
staff
and
ask
the
applicant
to
provide
a
brief
overview
of
the
request.
A
We
will
then
give
the
opportunity
for
everyone
anyone
in
the
audience
to
speak,
for
or
against
that
request
or
to
inquire
about
said
request.
The
commissioners
will
have
any
needed
discussion
on
the
case
and
once
a
motion
is
made
and
seconded
by
the
Commission,
a
vote
will
take
place
and
a
recommendation
will
be
rendered.
The
case
will
go
back
to
the
Planning
Department
for
their
independent
recommendation.
If
a
favorable
recommendation
is
given,
then
the
case
is
forwarded
to
the
City
Council
with
two
independent
recommendations.
A
If
the
Planning
Department
makes
a
recommendation
for
denial,
the
applicant
will
have
ten
days
from
the
receipt
of
a
letter
stating
denial
to
notify
the
Clerk
of
Council
that
they
are
requesting
to
be
placed
on
the
City
Council's
agenda.
The
City
Council
of
Columbus
will
hold
a
public
meeting
first
reading
and
the
said
councils
shall
consider
the
case.
Review
pack
and
Planning
Department
recommendations
and
hear
discussions
on
the
matter.
Council
will
make
a
final
decision
at
a
second
public
meeting,
which
is
called
the
second
reading.
I
believe
when
we
get
to
our
agenda.
A
Before
we
actually
begin
with
our
cases,
I
would
like
to
ask
Rick
Jones
to
come
forward.
He
has
got
some
introductions
to
make.
This
is
actually
our
first
meeting
of
the
year,
which
is
hard
to
believe
so
happy
new
year.
Good.
B
Morning
and
happy
New
Year
to
you,
and
that
sounds
a
little
strange
in
February
but
Mike
just
said
to
you.
This
is
your
first
meeting.
I
want
to
take
the
opportunity
can
come
again
and
welcome
you
to
another
year
of
being
on
the
playing
Advisory
Commission.
Thank
you
for
your
efforts
and
your
willingness
to
do
this
special
I
recognize
mr.
king
welcome
back
to
playing
advice.
We're
glad
to
have
you
here
as
well.
B
It's
always
I
want
to
just
re-emphasize
the
point
that
we're
here
that
we're
here
to
help
you
and
here
to
serve
you
in
terms
of
whatever
your
needs
may
be
in
dealing
with
dealing
with
zoning
cases.
These
are
very
time,
tenacious
issues
we
have
to
deal
with
and
walk
through,
and
our
job
is
to
make
sure
you
have
all
the
information
you
need
to
make
an
informed,
an
intelligent
decision,
and
we
certainly
want
to
do
that,
for
you.
B
B
On
the
end,
there
is
Trey
Wilkerson.
He
is
our
new
planner
as
well,
and
here
you'll
see
him
around
dealing
with
some
different
issues
and
as
well.
Next
to
him
is
Carolina
Rodriguez.
She
is
our
new
transportation,
planner
she's
doing
primarily
with
not
only
transportation
issues
but
also
work
with
bike
issues
in
the
community
and
biking
make
it
have
a
more
viable
and
mode
of
transportation
for
us
all
to
utilize
and
then
on
the
end
here
is
Mike
Mixon
who's.
B
Also,
a
planner
who's
been
wrong
on
staff
as
well,
and
you'll
see
a
lot
of
Mike
I
hope
in
the
coming
weeks
and
months
as
we
go
along.
All
of
them
bring
a
lot
of
expertise,
a
lot
of
good
things
to
the
table
and
they're
there
for
your
benefit
and
for
the
community's
benefit
in
terms
of
anything
or
issues
you
may
have
that
require
additional
information,
so
I
would
ask
that
you
fill
feel
free
to
call
them.
If
you
will
from
that.
B
Last
but
not
least,
is
the
one
that
you're
going
to
be
dealing
with,
hopefully
on
a
day-to-day
basis,
or
at
least
on
a
weekly
basis
and
that's
John
Renfro
John
Renfro
is
now
our
new
principal
planner
we
solved
so
the
name
for
our
Zoning
Administrator.
You
may
recall
Kevin
Herrick
left
and
went
to
North
Georgia
ended
last
year,
and
so
John
is
coming
and
is
taking
his
place
and
we
think
John's
been
do
a
fine
job
John's
been
with
for
the
a
little
over
a
year.
B
Now,
when
all
that's
going
on
two
years,
really
you
think
about
it.
He
brings
to
the
expertise
so
I
think
the
knowledge
and
the
experience
you're
going
to
appreciate
he's
already
impressed
me
with
the
fact
about
making
sure
things
are
kept
in
order
that
you
get
to
get
your
stuff
in
a
timely
fashion.
B
We've
had
that
conversation
already
about
what
needs
to
be
done
for
that
John's,
going
to
provide
you
that
information
and
John
should
be
your
right-hand
man
or
I-
guess
politically
correct
right-hand
person
here,
for
whatever
needs
you
may
have
in
terms
of
dealing
with
zoning
in
this
community
or
have
questions
or
issues
about
John
is
going
to
be
I
think
can
be
a
worthy,
a
worthy
person
to
deal
with
and
I
think
you'll
find
him
very
responsive.
So
please
welcome
John
with
me
this
morning
on
that,
but
without
at
the
same
time,
I
will
caution.
B
You
John
is
still
brand
spanking
new.
This
is
something
he's
trying
to
learn
and
trying
to
deal
with
on
a
daily
basis,
so
I
would
ask
for
a
little
bit
of
patience.
I
know
we
just
got
through
dealing
and
you
weren't
here
this
morning
and
dealing
with
one
of
our
zoning
case
before
we
had
an
issue
about
the
notification,
that's
something
we
have
a
learning
learning
process
and
our
learning
curve
on
we've
corrected
that
problem
and
John
is
certainly
taking
on
that
that
role,
making
sure
things
are
done
in
a
proper
manner.
B
B
So
again,
John
is
here
to
help
you
like
the
other
members
of
staff,
and
course
I'm
here
as
well,
along
with
will
Johnson
if
we
can
be
of
any
service
to
you
in
anything,
please
let
us
know
again,
that's
our
job
and
that's
how
I
roll
it
as
a
playing
department
to
support
the
playing
Advisory
Commission.
So,
madam
chair,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
introduce
these
folks
and
les
again.
Let
us
know
how
we
can
help
you
in
the
future.
Thanks
and.
A
I
want
to
echo
thank
you
so
much
Don
you
have,
you
have
been
incredibly
responsive.
I
know,
we've
had
some
glitches
with
me
and
the
information
has
been
real
nice.
How
quickly
you've
responded
so
I
appreciate
that
we
have
two
cases
on
the
agenda,
but
first
we
have
the
approval
of
the
minutes.
Commissioners.
Those
were
sent
out
earlier.
It's
the
12
December,
the
sixth
2017
minutes.
Does
anybody
have
any
addition,
Corrections
or
anything
to
the
minutes?
If
not,
we
can
approve
those
as
accepting
okay.
A
Well,
we
will
submit
those
as
approved
and
accepted
of
the
two
cases
we
have
we're.
Gonna,
swap
the
order.
We're
gonna
actually
listen
to
our
second
case
first,
which
is
our
easy
n

and
this
is
a
request
to
rezone
0.16
acres
of
land
located
at
10:50
to
Center
Street.
The
current
zoning
is
NC,
which
is
neighborhood
commercial.
The
proposed
zoning
is
RMF,
one
was
which
is
residential,
multi-family

the
current
and
proposed
use
is
single-family.

There's

This

A
E
D
D
These
three
Lots
right
here
sandwich
between
Center
Street
and
the
fall
on
trace.
So
there's
not
a
lot
of
opportunity
for
redevelopment
or
anything
I
think
miss
Johnston
will
go
into
more
detail
on
it,
but
there's
not
another
user
that
could
come
in
there
commercially
meet
current
parking
requirements
and
other
requirements
of
the
unified
development
ordinance.
A
F
F
We
did
not
know
that
a
sandwich
shop
had
been
in
there
prior
to
that
because
they
had
converted
it
back
into
rental
property
and
when
we
found
out
that
we
were
in
violation,
we
petitioned
to
have
it
changed
back
to
residential
and
we
currently
have
attended
in
there.
Now
it's
I
can't
see
where
any
other
business
could
be
put
in
there.
It's
you
know
small
lot.
You
know
single-family
house.

D

H
D
H
I
Good
morning
my
name's
Austin
Gibson,
with
Paige
Scranton's
cross
suckering
fort
and
my
address-
is
1111
Bay,
Avenue,
Columbus,
Georgia
and
we're
here
today
on
behalf
of
Columbus
powerhouse
LLC
and
we're
here
to
read.
As
you
know,
as
you
said
earlier,
to
rezone
the
power
house
located
on
the
Chattahoochee
River,
with
the
property
description
included
in
your
packet
and
my
client
desires
to
bring
this
property
into
alignment
with
the
zoning
plan
of
the
downtown
area
and
which
is
C
Rd
and,
as
noted
earlier,
the
power
house
is
no
longer
operational.
H
I
D
There
are
no
parking
requirements
or
traffic
requirements
downtown
in
the
CRD
first
avenue
once
the
Rapids
is
open
from
sorry
Front
Avenue.
Once
the
Rapids
is
finished,
the
new
apartment
complex
will
be
reopened,
so
we
will
have
north-south
east-west
traffic
fully
functioning.
As
soon
as
that
project
is
finished,
most
traffic
generated
downtown
finds
a
parking
spot
in
his
pedestrian
traffic.
So
we
have
three
parking
garages
plus
surface
parking
plus
on
street
parking.
Okay,.
J
D
D
This
is
not
anywhere
on
the
scale
size-wise
of
the
river
Mill,
Event
Center,
so
I
think
there
was
some
fear
that
something
on
that
scale
would
be
coming,
but
the
power
houses
are
much
much
much
much
smaller,
so
it
probably
something
akin
to
what
they
already
do
if
they
are
actually
the
ones
that
move
in
there
right
now,
it's
wide
open
for,
as
mr.
Gibson
said,
another
entity
to
come
in
there.
Mr.
keating,
for
instance,
is
already
established
at
the
bottom
floor
of
the
Eagle
and
Phoenix
mill
and.
J
One
more
follow-up
question:
with
the
the
the
variability
that
we
have
here
in
the
past
and
all
the
possibilities
that
could
fall
on
there,
Center
riverfront
district
and
the
coating
there
is.
Is
there
any
particular
users
that
would
concern
you,
since
we're
not
sure
today
exactly
what
there's
going
to
be
used
for?
Is
there
anything
we're
concerned?
No.
D
J
I
miss
Dawson.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
I
will
just
say
for
the
record,
when
I
first
go
to
Columbus
I'm
moving
an
eagle
in
Phoenix
I
will
walk
past
his
building
on
the
Riverwalk.
Quite
a
bit
and
I've
always
looked
at
and
said
hey.
You
know
that
view
will
be
amazing
for
restaurants,
so
I
hope
your
clients
move
forward
with
the
rest
of
our
plan.
It
would
be
a
great
addition
to
that
part
of
downtown.
You
know
I'll
certainly
be
in
support
of
it.
Thank.

Current

we
learned
today,
is

the
works,
but
with
consistent
with
the
central

policy.
I
would
like
to
move
that.
We
approve
this
request,
considering
that
there
no,
there
are
no
major
concerns
from
the
staff
and
it's
in
full
compliance
with
what
we
will
require
all.
H
Right

have
a

We
have
a

any
further
discussion,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor,
please
raise
