THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME HERE. MY NAME IS MELANIE STYLES. I AM THE OWNER OF 29 03R IN MARTIN STREET, ALSO KNOWN AS ATLANTA UTILITY WORKS. WE ARE EASTPOINTE'S FIRST BREWERY. WE BREW KOMBUCHA AND BEER, AND WE ALSO HAVE A SMALL BREW PUB ON SITE THAT SERVES LUNCH AND DINNER. TODAY I AM COMING TO YOU FOR A VARIANCE FOR MY PROPERTY. I HAVE A REALLY UNIQUE PROPERTY. IT'S ACTUALLY NOMINATED TO THE HISTORIC REGISTER. IT DATES BACK TO THE 1900S. WE ALSO HAVE A EVENT SPACE THERE WHERE WE DO WEDDINGS AND CORPORATE EVENTS AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE. A LOT OF LIVE MUSIC AND PERFORMING ARTS PERFORMANCES, AND ESSENTIALLY I AM LOOKING TO DEVELOP MY PROPERTY AND ESSENTIALLY RE PARCEL HALF OF THE PROPERTY. SO THE PROPERTY IS TWO ACRES LARGE. IT CONSISTS OF THREE BUILDINGS. ONE IS OUR OUTDOOR EVENT SPACE, THE OTHER ONE IS THE BREW PUB AND THE RESTAURANT AND THE BREWERY. AND THEN THE OTHER ONE IS A ABANDONED BUILDING WITH NO UTILITIES IN IT. IT'S ESSENTIALLY A WAREHOUSE OR A BARN. I AM LOOKING TO RE PARCEL
[00:10:02]
THAT BUILDING AND THE ADJACENT LAND LOT THAT IS TO THE SOUTH OF THE MAIN OPERATIONS OF ATLANTA UTILITY WORKS. IN ORDER TO DIVIDE THAT PROPERTY FOR SALE. SO THE THE AREA THAT I'M TRYING TO SELL IS ABOUT 0.9 OF AN ACRE OR RIGHT UNDER ONE ACRE, AND I'VE SUBDIVIDED THAT INTO TWO SEPARATE TRACKS. TRACK NUMBER TWO AND TRACK NUMBER THREE. I WILL BE RETAINING TRACK NUMBER ONE TO KEEP MY DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS AND SUBDIVIDING AND SELLING TRACKS NUMBER TWO AND THREE. I'M SEEKING A VARIANCE TO TO TO GET THIS SETBACK, BECAUSE THE LAND ITSELF IS NON-CONFORMING TO THE PARCELS. SO THERE ARE VERY THERE'S FOUR SEPARATE PARCELS IN THIS PROPERTY AND THEY'RE VERY THIN AND NARROW, AND THEY DON'T CONFORM TO THE ACTUAL LAND OR THE ACTUAL BUILDING. ON ONE SIDE, WE HAVE A RAILROAD TRACK WHICH IS OWNED BY THE CENTRAL OF GEORGIA RAILROAD. AND THEN ON THE OTHER SIDE IS OUR IN MARTIN STREET, WHICH IS THE MAIN STREET, AND TRACK NUMBER TWO, AS YOU SEE HERE ON THE MAP IS THE VACANT BUILDING.AND TRACK NUMBER THREE IS THE LAND LOT. I AM SEARCHING FOR A VARIANCE FOR TRACK NUMBER TWO.
THE CODE FOR THE CODING CALLS FOR A 30 30 FOOT SETBACK. SO I'M LOOKING FOR 100% RELIEF OF THAT SETBACK. AND AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, WE'VE SUBDIVIDED THE PROPERTY WITH A SUBDIVIDE SURVEY HERE. TRACK NUMBER TWO AND THREE AGAIN ARE THE ONES THAT I'M LOOKING TO SUBDIVIDE AND SELL. AND IN ORDER TO DO THAT I NEED THE REAR SETBACK VARIANCE DESCRIBED HERE. SO AGAIN JUST TO RECAP, LOOKING FOR A 100% RELIEF ON THE VARIANCE DUE TO A HISTORIC BUILDING THAT IS ON THE PROPERTY AND A LAND LOT THAT ARE LEGAL, NONCONFORMING BUILDINGS AND LAND LOT. SO I'M JUST LOOKING TO GET A VARIANCE IN ORDER TO MAKE THEM MORE CONGRUENT TO THE ACTUAL SHAPE OF THE LAND. THIS IS THE ABANDONED BUILDING, AND THIS IS THE LAND LOT ADJACENT TO IT. AND THAT IS ALL FOR MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE? YOU MAY SIT DOWN. YOU MAY. YOU MAY BE SEATED. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE THAT IS IN SUPPORT OF THIS CASE? DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE IN SUPPORT OF. DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE IN SUPPORT OF. DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE IN OPPOSITION? HEARING NONE AND SEEING NONE. SEEING NONE.

THAT'S ZERO TWO. THAT'S ZERO SEVEN. THE APPLICANT HAS MADE A VARIANCE REQUEST TO REDUCE THE REAR YARD SETBACK. AND THAT MK-I MIXED USE INDUSTRIAL COMMERCIAL ZONING DISTRICT. THIS PROPERTY HAS A FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION AS AS TOWN CENTER AND SUBAREA ONE. THIS PROPERTY IS A HISTORIC PROPERTY, AND IT ALSO WAS THE FIRST PROPERTY IN THE CITY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE NEW ZONING DISTRICT. THE NEW MIXED USE INDUSTRIAL ZONING DISTRICT. THE PURPOSE OF THAT ZONING DISTRICT IS TO ALLOW FOR REDEVELOPMENT. RE ADAPTIVE USES OF INDUSTRIAL PROPERTIES AND TO ALLOW FOR BUFFERING FOR MORE COMPATIBLE USES SUCH AS MIXED USES, COMMERCIAL USES, OR WHAT HAVE YOU, TO BUFFER FROM
[00:15:10]
INDUSTRIAL FROM FROM RESIDENTIAL. THIS PROPERTY WAS REZONED BACK IN 2022. IT IS COMPLIANT WITH THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, AND STAFF IS IN SUPPORT OF THE OF THE VARIANCE OF THE PROPERTY, AND STAFF HAS RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE PETITION VARIANCE PETITION.THANK YOU, DIRECTOR SMITH. COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? I SEE COMMISSIONER.
I JUST SEE ONE LIGHT. YOU MAY GO AHEAD WITH YOUR QUESTION. I WAS GOING TO GO TO A MOTION, MADAM CHAIR. WELL, DO WE NEED TO CLOSE IT OR JUST GO AHEAD WITH THE QUESTIONS? DID YOU SAY HE WANTS TO MAKE A MOTION? AND THEN THE SECOND THING YOU WANT TO DISCUSSION. AND WHAT IS YOUR MOTION, PLEASE. MOTION TO APPROVE THE VARIANCE, MADAM CHAIR. SECOND, IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY SECOND, THAT WE ACCEPT STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION TO APPROVE THE REQUEST. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I. QUESTION. HEARING NONE. SEEING NONE. WE'LL GO ALONG WITH THE MOTION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I OPPOSES HEARING NONE. THE MOTION IS CARRIED. THE VARIANCE IS GRANTED. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I DO NOT SEE ANY OTHER CASES. WE ARE OPEN NOW FOR ANNOUNCEMENTS. DIRECTOR SMITH, DO YOU HAVE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS? I HAVE ONE ANNOUNCEMENT. THE CITY IS IN THE PROCESS OF REDOING OUR ZONING CODE. WE WORKED ON IT A COUPLE YEARS AGO. AND. FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, IT DID NOT GET DONE AT THAT TIME. SO IT WAS PUT BACK OUT FOR RFP. WE DO HAVE SEVERAL COMPANIES THAT HAVE SUBMITTED FOR THE RFP, AND WE'RE IN THE REVIEW PROCESS RIGHT NOW. SO WE ARE LOOKING TO COME BACK TO COUNCIL FOR RECOMMENDATION FOR CONSULTANT TO REDO THE ZONING ORDINANCE IN ITS ENTIRETY. SO WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. WE'RE ALSO PUTTING TOGETHER A STEERING COMMITTEE OF ALL INTERESTED PARTIES WHO WOULD WANT TO SIT ON A BOARD OR THE STEERING COMMITTEE TO ACTUALLY GO THROUGH THE REVISION PROCESS WITH THE CONSULTANTS IN OUR TEAM AND OF COURSE, PLANNING COMMISSION, IT IS YOUR DUTY TO TO REVIEW IT. SO IT'S GOING TO COME BEFORE YOU IN SEGMENTS. SO YOU WOULDN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO GET ON THE STEERING COMMITTEE PER SE, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO COME BEFORE YOU MULTIPLE TIMES FOR SOME REASON, FOR REVIEW AND FOR YOUR INPUT ALONG THE WAY. OKAY. COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION TO DIRECTOR SMITH REGARDING THE UPCOMING EFFORT? YES, QUESTION. WHEN THE REVIEW TAKES PLACE, YOUR MIC PLEASE. OH, I'M SORRY, WHEN THE REVIEW TAKES PLACE, ARE WE ALLOWED TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THAT PLAN? THAT IS ACTUALLY YOUR ROLE AS A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSIONER, SIR. OKAY. DOES THAT DOES THAT TRICKLE DOWN TO POLICIES, SAY FOR DEPARTMENT HEADS? IN OTHER WORDS, LIKE SANITATION? I'M SORRY, SANITATION? CAN WE COMMENT ON THE POLICIES DIRECTED AT THE SANITATION DEPARTMENT, LIKE HOW THEY SHOULD BE PICKING UP GARBAGE, STUFF LIKE THAT? UNFORTUNATELY, THE ZONING ORDINANCE DOESN'T COVER THE DUTIES UNDER SOLID WASTE DEPARTMENT, SO I WOULD SAY NO TO THAT QUESTION. OKAY. DOES THAT COMPLETE YOUR QUESTION? YES, COMMISSIONER MARK FIELDS. HI, DIRECTOR SMITH, THAT'S SUCH GOOD NEWS TO HEAR THAT WE ARE GETTING STARTED ON THIS AGAIN. DO YOU HAVE A TIME FRAME AS TO HOW LONG MAYBE THE RFP WILL BE OUT? AND THEN ONCE WE ACTUALLY GET STARTED ON THIS. SO WE SHOULD HAVE A TIMELINE REALLY SOON. THE COMMITTEE THAT WAS CHOSEN TO REVIEW THE RFPS THAT WERE SUBMITTED, THAT'S IN FORCE CURRENTLY RIGHT NOW, THEY'RE GOING THROUGH THAT PROCESS.
ONCE THAT COMMITTEE GETS TOGETHER WITH ALL THE SCORING AND ACTUALLY COMES UP WITH A RECOMMENDATION THAT'S GOING TO BE PUT ON THE COUNCIL AGENDA, AND HOPEFULLY THAT'S GOING TO BE DONE IN ONE OF THE MEETINGS NEXT MONTH IN SEPTEMBER. SO IT SHOULD BE COMING THROUGH PRETTY QUICKLY. AND ONCE THAT'S DECIDED AND THE CONSULTANT IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL, THEN THEY
[00:20:04]
WILL PROVIDE A TIMELINE, A WORK PROGRAM TIMELINE FOR, YOU KNOW, HOW IT'S GOING TO HELP, THE PHASING OF THE REVIEW PROCESS AND THE REWRITE. OH, WE HAVE MORE HANDS. GO AHEAD PLEASE.COMMISSIONER SMITH, I RECEIVED AN EMAIL TODAY ABOUT A DIRECTOR. EXCUSE ME, DIRECTOR SMITH. SO I LISTENED TO YOU TODAY AND SOMETHING. WE TALKED ABOUT. I CAN TALK ABOUT IT. I'M NOT VERY FAMILIAR WITH IT. I DO KNOW THAT THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, AS WELL AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, ARE TRYING TO GET MORE COLLABORATION. ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHARGES OF THE CITY MANAGER SINCE HE'S BEEN HERE IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. AND THERE HAS BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE COUNCIL WILL MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS AND FOR DIFFERENT BOARDS. AND SOME OF THOSE BOARDS ARE NOT IN PLACE. SO I BELIEVE THAT INTENT IS TO GET THE BOARDS THAT ARE IN PLACE TOGETHER SO EVERYONE CAN GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER AND REALLY SEE WHAT TYPE OF BOARDS, STEERING COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS ARE ENFORCED. JUST A TIME TO GATHER AND GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER. BUT IT'S COMING OUT OF ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE, SO I DON'T HAVE ALL THE DETAILS, BUT BASED ON THE INFORMATION THAT I'VE BEEN PROVIDED, IT'S A TIME FOR ALL OF THE BOARDS TO COLLECTIVELY COME TOGETHER. AND I BELIEVE COMMISSIONER ANDERSON HAD A QUESTION. YEAH, I JUST HAD A QUESTION ABOUT WHEN WILL WE WHEN WILL WE FIND OUT WHO THE FINALIST IS FOR THIS? IS IT GOING TO BE? ARE WE GOING TO GET GET TO KNOW AHEAD OF TIME, OR ARE WE JUST GOING TO BE FINDING OUT WHEN THE REST OF THE PUBLIC FINDS OUT WHO THE WHO, THE. SO RIGHT NOW THERE'S A THERE'S A COMMITTEE THAT WAS PUT TOGETHER OF STAFF MEMBERS. AND THOSE STAFF MEMBERS WILL TALLY UP THE SCORES, THEY WILL REVIEW IT. THEY WILL GO THROUGH THE STANDARD PROCUREMENT PROCESS, AS WE DO ON ALL RFPS THAT ARE SENT OUT. ONCE THAT COMMITTEE GETS TOGETHER AND DOES A FINAL SCORE AND THEY WILL USE THAT ONE, WHOEVER GETS THE HIGHEST SCORE AND MAKE THAT RECOMMENDATION TO COUNCIL, AND THEN IT WILL BE PUT ON THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA FOR RECOMMENDATION. YOU'RE WELCOME.
ARE THERE ANY MORE QUESTIONS? YES, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. DIRECTOR SMITH, IN REGARDS TO THE RFP AND THE FORMATION OF THE FINAL PLAN, WHEN ARE THE REVISIONS GOING TO BE TAKING PLACE? IS THERE REVISIONS DURING THE PROCESS AND THEN BEFORE IT GETS TO THE COMMISSION, I MEAN, BEFORE IT GETS TO THE COMMISSION? OR LIKE, HOW IS THAT PROCESS OF LIKE THE COMMENTS AND CHANGING THE COMMENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT? SO ONCE THE CONSULTANT IS CHOSEN AND COUNCIL APPROVES THAT PARTICULAR CONSULTANT FIRM TO REDO THE ORDINANCE, THEY ARE GOING TO BE IN CHARGE FOR PUTTING OUT A PROJECT TIMELINE. IN THAT PROJECT TIMELINE, THERE'S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT SEGMENTS WHERE THEY WILL BE REQUIRED TO COME BEFORE THIS BODY, BECAUSE THIS BODY ACTUALLY MAKES A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL ON ALL OF THE REVISIONS OF THE ZONING ORDINANCE. SO YOU WILL IT'S ACTUALLY GOING TO BE AN AGENDA ITEM, YOU KNOW, THROUGHOUT THE THE TIME THAT THE REVIEW IS UNDERWAY. SO WHEN THERE'S TIME FOR UPDATES AND SUMMARIES OF THAT SORT, THE CONSULTANTS OR OUR TEAM WILL COME BEFORE YOU ALL. IT'LL BE AN AGENDA ITEM AND WE'LL GO OVER DIFFERENT ITEMS. AND AT THAT TIME, YOU ALL WILL BE ABLE TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR COMMENTS. AND THEN FORMALLY, ONCE THE REVISIONS AND THE UPDATE IS COMPLETED, IT'S GOING TO COME BEFORE YOU IN THE APPROVAL PROCESS IN THE FORM OF PROCESS THE SAME THAT YOU WOULD DO FOR ANY TYPE OF ZONING CODE CHANGE. OKAY. AND SO WILL LIKE DENSITY, F.A.R AND ALL THAT STUFF. IT'S AN ENTIRE REWRITE. OKAY. SO ALL OF THOSE THINGS, ANYTHING THAT'S UNDER CHAPTER TEN IN THE ZONING CODE ON MUNI CODES, ALL OF IT IS GOING TO BE LOOKED AT. IS THERE A FRAMEWORK FOR LIKE ARE THEY USING LIKE. LIKE URBAN DESIGN PRINCIPLES OR, OR I FORGOT THE ZONING CODE. I MEAN, THE CODE THAT WE STUDIED. BUT IT'S IS IT LIKE A FRAMEWORK THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOING OFF OF. SO WHAT I CAN DO TO PROVIDE MORE DETAILS ABOUT WHAT THE CONSULTANTS HAD TO RESPOND TO, I CAN SEND A COPY OF THE RFP THAT WENT OUT
[00:25:06]
TO THE BOARD. JUST SO YOU ALL HAVE A FRAMEWORK OF WHAT WE WERE ASKING FOR AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR. OKAY, I CAN SEND THAT OUT TO EVERYBODY. THANK YOU. YEAH. THANK YOU. SO THAT'S IT FOR MY QUESTION, BY THE WAY. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE GOING ONCE GOING TWICE? I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS. DIRECTOR SMITH. WHAT WOULD BE THE EXPECTATION OF ANYONE THAT IS VOLUNTEERING TO SERVE DURING THE DAY AFTER HOURS, WEEKENDS? DO YOU HAVE A CLUE? FOR OUR COMP PLAN, WE HAD A SERIES OF MEETINGS. SOME OF THEM WERE IN THE DAYS. SOME OF THEM WERE EVENING MEETINGS. WE TRIED TO MIX IT UP TO BE KIND OF BE COMPATIBLE TO EVERYONE'S SCHEDULE. SO THERE WAS A SERIES OF OF MEETINGS. IT'S GOING TO BE PRETTY INTENSE. SO OKAY.SOUNDS GOOD. COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM THE BOARD? I GOT ONE MORE QUESTION. I'M SORRY. OH THAT'S OKAY. GO AHEAD. DIRECTOR SMITH IS STILL STANDING THERE. I THINK SHE'LL ANSWER. WHAT'S THE REASON WHY THE OTHER DESIGN PLAN DIDN'T GO THROUGH? I'M SORRY. EARLIER IN THE CONVERSATION, YOU STATED THAT THE PREVIOUS. THERE WAS A PREVIOUS RFP FOR TO TO REVAMP THE CODE. I WANT TO KNOW THE REASON WHY IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH.
OR DO YOU KNOW, I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHY IT DIDN'T GO THROUGH. BUT TO MY KNOWLEDGE, IT WASN'T COMPLETED. OKAY. IT WAS KIND OF PAID FOR. AND THEN THE COMPANY, IT WAS NOT PAID FOR. IT WASN'T COMPLETED. OKAY. AND TO ADD TO THAT QUESTION, WHAT HOW LONG AGO HAS THAT BEEN THAT WAS IN 2021, 2020. YOU GOT HERE BEFORE YOU STARTED WORKING AS THE DIRECTOR. BUT SINCE YOU ARE IT WAS IN 2021, 2022. OKAY, ALRIGHT. COMMISSIONERS, DOES THAT CONCLUDE THE QUESTIONS? IF NOT, CAN I GET A MOTION TO END THE MEETING? MADAM CHAIR, MOTION TO CONCLUDE THE PUBLIC HEARING TO ADJOURN. MOTION TO ADJOURN. THANK YOU. SECONDED. SECOND, WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND TO ADJOURN THIS EVENING'S MEETINGS. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD.
