IN REFERENCE TO ITEM NUMBER ONE ON THE AGENDA, CASE NUMBER P2025R-001-08. THE APPLICANT IS CMC DEVELOPMENT GROUP. PROPERTY IS LOCATED AT ZERO NORMAN BARRY DRIVE. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A REZONING FROM I TO M I TO CONSOLIDATE THREE PARCELS WITH A CONCURRENT VARIANCE TO REDUCE REQUIRED PARKING SPACES. CASE TYPE IS A REZONING WITH A CONCURRENT VARIANCE.

IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? YOU MAY COME FORWARD AND PRESENT YOUR CASE.

THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING EVERYONE. THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO THE BOARD. AND PLEASE STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING.

MY NAME IS SEAN BELL, PRINCIPAL OF CMC DEVELOPMENT GROUP. MY ADDRESS IS 1140 ANSELL LANE, NORTHWEST ATLANTA. 30318. AND AGAIN, I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS. WE'VE BEEN WORKING AT THIS PROJECT FOR SOME TIME AND HAVE BEEN MEETING WITH THE PLANNING BOARD AND PLANNING OFFICIALS TO KIND OF WORK THROUGH ALL THE VARIOUS PIECES TO IT. AND SO VERY EXCITED THAT THINGS ARE MOVING FORWARD. AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE'RE REALLY SEEKING IS TO CONSOLIDATE THE THE PROPERTY THAT WE ALREADY OWN, THE LOTS THAT WE OWN, TO BE ABLE TO BUILD A A DEVELOPMENT THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DO TWO THINGS.

ONE, NOT ONLY PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED HOUSING, BUT ALSO LOOK AT BRINGING IN MULTIFAMILY AND AND SOME ASSISTED LIVING AS WELL INTO THE PARTICULAR AREA. SO I'LL JUST KIND OF BREEZE THROUGH THE SOME SOME OF THE HIGHLIGHTS. AS YOU KNOW, THE IT'S LOCATED ON NORMAN BERRY, WHICH IS NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE. THE SITE HAS BEEN VACANT FOR MANY YEARS. IT'S JUST A WOODED SITE, AND IT SITS ADJACENT TO THE NORMAN BERRY SENIOR DEVELOPMENT. SO WE SEE THIS AS SORT OF A CONTINUATION OF THAT SORT OF RELATIONSHIP WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. BUT THEN WE ALSO SEE THAT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY A NEED FOR SOME REALLY HIGH QUALITY HOUSING. SO WE'VE ENDEAVORED TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS AND WE'RE WORKING TOWARD THAT PROCESS. SO WE'RE REALLY JUST SEEKING TO GET THE ZONING TO CONSOLIDATE THE LOTS THAT WE ALL THAT WE HAVE ALREADY. SO THEY'RE ALL SORT OF CONFORMING. AND THEN MORE IMPORTANTLY, OR JUST AS IMPORTANT, IS THINKING ABOUT THE CHANGES WE NEED OR SOME OF THE RELIEF WE NEED ON THE PARKING, AS OUR SENIOR COMPONENT WOULD NOT NEED AS MANY PARKING SPACES AS WOULD THE THE MULTIFAMILY PIECE OF THE DEVELOPMENT. SO THOSE ARE OUR BASIC REQUEST. THE SITE PLAN IS HERE 6.4 ACRES. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE ARE TWO BUILDINGS THAT ARE LAID OUT THAT WE ENVISION MOVING THAT PROCESS THROUGH THE PROCESS. A LOT OF OUR DEVELOPMENTS HAVE BEEN REALLY IN THE MULTIFAMILY SPACE. WE'RE YOU KNOW, WE LOOK TO KIND OF ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY AND MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE KIND OF BUILDING SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE AND IS ESTHETICALLY PLEASING AND REALLY BRINGS VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY. SO WE'RE EXPERIENCED IN DOING A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. WE HAVE SOME SENIOR DEVELOPMENTS, SOME VETERANS

[00:10:02]

SO THERE'S CERTAIN PARTS OF IT THAT WE ACTUALLY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO BUILD. SO WE'RE TRYING TO WORK AROUND THAT. AND HENCE SOME OF THE RELIEF IN OUR DESIGN PROCESS. WE'VE LOOKED AT, YOU KNOW, HOW TO SORT OF ADDRESS A LOT OF THOSE PIECES. SO I'LL JUST I'LL SKIP THROUGH.

AND MOST OF IT IS SORT OF WHAT'S BEEN PRESENTED BEFORE. AND AGAIN, THE MULTIFAMILY SIDE OF THINGS ON ONE OF THE BUILDINGS WOULD BE JUST A MIX, A MIXTURE OF OF UNITS AND THEN SOME, SOME AMENITY SPACES. WE WANTED TO CREATE MORE OF A CAMPUS ENVIRONMENT WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF OPEN SPACE AND KEEPING WITHIN THE DENSITY. THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH THE WITH THE AREA. SO I AM GOING TO AVAIL MYSELF FOR ANY QUESTIONS, UNLESS ANYONE WOULD LIKE ME TO GO FURTHER INTO THE INTO THE THE PRESENTATION ARCHITECTURAL WORK. MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU.

GO AHEAD. IT SEEMS THAT. WHAT. I'M SORRY. IT SEEMS THAT WHAT WE WILL DO NOW IS HAVE ANYONE THAT IS FOR AND AGAINST. AND THEN WE'LL GO INTO QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD. OKAY, SO IF THERE IS ANYONE HERE THAT IS IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT, PLEASE COME FORWARD AND STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. ANYONE IN FAVOR OF. I DO NOT SEE ANYONE COMING FORWARD. DO WE HAVE ANYONE THAT IS AGAINST THE PROJECT? IF SO, PLEASE COME FORWARD. IF YOU ARE IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROJECT, PLEASE COME FORWARD. SEEING NONE. I DON'T SEE ANYONE WITH THAT. AND WHAT WE'LL DO NOW IS CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SO MAY I HAVE MADAM CHAIR? YES. I MAKE A MOTION. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. THANK YOU. SECOND, IT HAS BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY. SECOND, THAT WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE NUMBER P2025. DASH 001-08. ALL THOSE. LET IT BE KNOWN. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR. LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I OPPOSES HEARING NONE. THE CASE IS NOW CLOSED. COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS OF THE APPLICANT? YES, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. COMMISSIONER FILLS. THANK YOU. WE I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT WE DO APPRECIATE THE REDEVELOPMENT FOR MULTI HOUSING IN OUR CITY. BUT AS FAR AS THE DISTRICT AND THE ZONING THAT'S IN PLACE AND THAT'S BEEN REQUESTED, IT SEEMS THAT IT'S A LITTLE. IT'S IT'S A LITTLE CONVOLUTED IN THE FACT THAT YOU WANT TO DO MULTI HOUSING IN A, IN A MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL AREA OR ACTUALLY CONVERT INTO A MULTI, MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL AREA. AND THEN THEN GET A AND THEN ASK FOR A USE PERMIT TO INSTALL MULTIFAMILY HOUSING. THAT SEEMS TO BE YOU KNOW A LITTLE BACKWARDS TO ME. SO I WAS WONDERING WHY WOULDN'T YOU WANT TO REQUEST TO REZONE TO R3, WHICH IS A PROPER ZONED FOR MULTIFAMILY HOUSING? WHY DID YOU PICK THIS PARTICULAR ROUTE TO GO? RIGHT. SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH THE PLANNING

[00:15:06]

THAT'S MY QUESTION. I WAS COMMISSIONER PHIL SAYS. THAT CONCLUDES YOUR QUESTION. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMISSIONERS? YES, MADAM CHAIR. GOOD AFTERNOON.

EVENING TO YOU. HOW MANY SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING HOMES HAS CMC DEVELOPMENT CONSTRUCTED? WE WE HAVE NOT BUILT ANY FOR OURSELVES, BUT OUR PARTNERS HAVE. BUT WE WE DO OWN VETERANS SENIOR VETERANS HOMES HOUSES IN OTHER DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'VE DONE. BUT WE HAVEN'T DONE ONE THAT'S SPECIFIC TO ASSISTED LIVING. WE'VE DONE THE WHOLE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING PIECE. I LIKE THE VETERAN ASPECT. THAT'S THAT'S NICE. OKAY. SO THIS WOULD BE A FIRST. IT WOULD BE RIGHT. THIS WOULD BE A FIRST ON THE ASSISTED LIVING, WHICH IS MORE OF A FULL SERVICE IF YOU WILL, AS OPPOSED TO JUST A TYPICAL SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, WHICH WE DO QUITE FREQUENTLY.

GOT IT. SO SIMILAR TO YOUR QUESTION, MULTIFAMILY IS THE PRIMARY BASIS OF CMC. YES, IT'S FOR US TO BE QUITE HONEST. A BUILDING IS A BUILDING, RIGHT? THE PROGRAMING OF THAT BUILDING IS KIND OF WHAT COMES NEXT. SO AS I MENTIONED, WE HAVE HOUSING THAT, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SENIORS AND VETS IN THAT WE HAVE HOUSES THAT WE HAVE JUST, YOU KNOW, TYPICAL WORKING FAMILIES. SO IT'S JUST A MIXTURE. BUT IN TERMS OF THIS ZONING ALSO, THE OTHER THING IS TWO OF THE LOTS ARE ZONED, YOU KNOW, AS OF RIGHT, WHAT WE WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO DO. BUT THERE'S JUST THE ONE LOT THAT WAS OUT OF ZONING. SO THAT'S WHY WE WERE CONSOLIDATING OR, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO GET ALL THE ZONING ALIGNED SO THAT IT ALL MAKES MAKES SENSE. OKAY. I'M JUST ASKING INQUIRIES, THAT'S ALL. YEAH. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER PRESLEY, DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I HAVE A QUESTION. YES, YES. SO THIS PROJECT, WE ARE COMBINING THE MULTIFAMILY WITH ASSISTED LIVING. HAVE YOU EVER DONE ANY OTHER PROJECTS LIKE THIS? AND I'M JUST I'M WONDERING ABOUT THE QUALITY OF LIFE FOR THE SENIOR ASPECT OF IT. AND CONSIDERING THAT, YOU KNOW, LIFESTYLES VARY GREATLY BETWEEN THE TWO. SO CAN YOU SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT AS WELL, PLEASE? WELL, THIS THIS BEARD MIGHT GIVE YOU A HINT I'M HEADING IN THAT DIRECTION AS A SENIOR. SO SO I'M I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION. AND AND THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES. NOT TO THE EXTENT OF THE ASSISTED LIVING, BUT WE DO BELIEVE IN INTERGENERATIONAL HOUSING BECAUSE ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT WE DO AS AN ORGANIZATION IS REALLY FOCUS ON WHAT HAPPENS ON THE COMMUNITY LEVEL. AND WE THINK THERE'S A GREAT VALUE TO KIND OF HAVE, YOU KNOW, SENIORS OR VARIED POPULATIONS KIND OF INTERACTING. IT ACTUALLY MAKES FOR NOT ONLY GOOD COMMUNITY ACTION, BUT ALSO REALLY BENEFITS THE BUILDINGS THEMSELVES. THIS JUST HAPPENS TO BE, I THINK, A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A UNIQUE SITUATION, GIVEN THAT IT'S IT'S JUST SORT OF ON A MUCH VACANT LAND WHERE WE TYPICALLY DO A LOT OF, OF DENSE BUILDING. SO THIS ONE WE, WE ENVISION REALLY HAVING AS A CAMPUS SORT OF ENVIRONMENT AND CREATING SOME OPEN SPACES. AND THEN I THINK AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE KIND OF INTERACTIVE THINGS. SO IT COULD BE, YOU KNOW, SIMPLE THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE TYPE OF PROGRAMING THAT WE DO ON A YEARLY BASIS WITH, YOU KNOW, ON ON THE MULTIFAMILY SIDE, YOU MAY HAVE YOUNGER CHILDREN WHO MAY BE DOING, YOU KNOW, SCHOOL PROGRAMS OR TYPES OF EVENTS THAT ARE MORE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE. BUT THEN, YOU KNOW, THERE'S THERE'S SENIORS WHO, YOU KNOW, ARE VERY SKILLED AT THESE THINGS. SO THERE'S A WAY TO TRY TO BRING THOSE TOGETHER. SO THERE IS THERE IS SOME THERE ARE DEFINITELY,

[00:20:04]

COMMISSIONER FILLS IS YOUR LEADER. OH I'M SORRY COMMISSIONER STYLES I JUST I WAS JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED ABOUT THE PRESENTATION. BASICALLY THIS SEEMS TO BE A PRESENTATION FOR MULTI-FAMILIES IN ORDER TO TO PUT THE MULTIFAMILY IN THE MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL, YOU'D HAVE TO HAVE A USE PERMIT FOR THAT. SO WE'RE WE'RE DEALING WITH TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. THAT'S WHY I'M, YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OF DISCOMBOBULATED ABOUT THE WHOLE PRESENTATION HERE. WE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH. WE HAVE TO STEP THROUGH TOO MANY OBSTACLES IN ORDER TO GET TO YOUR USE PERMIT, WHICH IS BASICALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. YOU NEED A USE PERMIT IN ORDER TO PUT MULTIFAMILY HOUSING IN A MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT.

SO THE WAY I SEE IT, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN LIKE A REQUEST FOR TO REZONE TO MULTIFAMILY DISTRICT. WHICH WOULD IT BE? R3 SO THAT'S THAT'S WHY I'M KIND OF AND AND THE ASSISTED LIVING PART, WHICH HAS ITS OWN REQUIREMENTS, WHICH IS SOMEONE STAFF, SOMEONE HAS TO STAFF THAT FACILITY. AND YOU HAVE A RATIO OF 1 TO 3 IN THAT FACILITY. YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE AN ADDRESS THAT EITHER. SO THAT'S JUST MY CONCERN WITH THAT. YOU KNOW, I THINK I THINK THIS IS THIS TWO. DISCOMBOBULATED THAT SHOULD BE BEEN PRESENTED IN A DIFFERENT WAY. WHY ARE YOU AFRAID TO JUST TRY TO REZONE IT TO R3? NOW? THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DEAL WITH ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL AND HAVE DIFFERENT CONSIDERATIONS FOR THAT. THAT WAY YOU CAN PUT WHOEVER YOU WANT IN THOSE HOUSES. YOU CAN HAVE A SENIOR, YOU CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, MULTIFAMILY, HIGH INCOME, LOW INCOME, YOU KNOW, MIX OF INCOME PEOPLE. AND YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH TRYING TO MAKE IT, YOU KNOW, SEEM LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE A MEDICAL THING. YOU KNOW, OR SENIOR THING OR SO YOU KNOW, I'M KIND OF DISCOMBOBULATED ABOUT THAT WHOLE PRESENTATION.

SO THAT'S MY MY CONCERN WITH THAT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER. COMMISSIONER STYLES YEAH. THANK YOU. I'M I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED TOO. SO I JUST WANT TO CLARIFY A FEW THINGS IN THE MI DISTRICT CODE. IT DOES SAY IN SECTION THREE DWELLINGS. SECTION THREE A SINGLE FAMILY. SECTION THREE B SINGLE FAMILY TOWNHOUSE, THREE MULTI-FAMILY DWELLINGS 3D2 FAMILY DWELLINGS. IS THAT SO. YOU'RE LOOKING TO REZONE INTO THE MI DISTRICT A ZONING DISTRICT. AND AND IN ORDER TO SATISFY THE ZONING NEED, YOU'RE DOING A REZONING WITH A CONCURRENT VARIANCE AND YOU'RE GOING TO BE DOING SENIOR HOMES AS WELL AS MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS IN THE SAME ENTIRE COMPLEX. YES. CORRECT. YES. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE. AND THEN. IF IF STAFF CAN JUST CONFIRM WITH ME THAT I AM READING THE CODE CORRECTLY, THAT SECTION THREE UNDER

[00:25:06]

LANDSCAPED STRIPS AND BUFFERS SHALL BE PROVIDED AS SPECIFIED IN THE MIXED DISTRICT. THAT'S THE MIX DISTRICT IN CHAPTER SIX. WHEN ADJACENT TO RESIDENTIAL, THE PROPERTY SHALL BE DEED RESTRICTED TO SENIOR HOUSING, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BY FAIR HOUSING LAWS. FACILITIES SHALL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL, STATE AND FEDERAL REGULATIONS. SOME PERMITS MUST BE REQUIRED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT PRIOR TO THE ISSUANCE OF A CCO. PROJECTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO INCORPORATE EASY LIVING AND APPLICABLE ACCESSIBILITY STANDARDS. LASTLY, HOUSING SHALL HAVE AT LEAST 80% OF THE OCCUPIED DWELLING UNITS OCCUPIED BY AT LEAST ONE PERSON WHO IS 55 YEARS OF AGE OR OLDER, WHICH SHALL BE VERIFIED BY THE PROPERTY OWNER IN A MANNER DEEMED ACCEPTABLE PURSUANT TO THE PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT. OKAY, THANK YOU SO MUCH. THAT MOSTLY ANSWERS MY QUESTION. I THINK WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS REZONE IT TO THE MI SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE BOTH USES. YES, SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING, MULTIFAMILY DWELLING AND THEN THE SENIOR CARE CENTER. WELL, JUST A

[00:30:06]

THIS IS SHOWING FOR NINE SQUARE FEET. WHAT IS THIS FLOOR PLAN? TWO BEDROOM, ONE BATH, 986. BUT THE OTHER FLATS, IF YOU WILL, WERE LIKE THREE LESS THAN 400FT. YEAH. THOSE ARE THE ASSISTED LIVING UNITS. ROGER THAT. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I SEE YOUR HAND. GO AHEAD PLEASE. OH, WHAT WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE PROJECT IS ASSISTED VERSUS MULTI. WELL RIGHT. YEAH. THE UNIT IS A 107 160 40. HOW WAS IT ALLOCATED. YEAH WE'RE WE'RE ENVISIONING ENVISIONING THE UNITS TO BE IN TWO TWO SEPARATE BUILDINGS. SO THEY WOULD BE SPLIT PRETTY MUCH DOWN THE MIDDLE. SO WE HAVE LIKE 130 37 UNITS. SO THEY WOULD BE PRETTY MUCH SPLIT BETWEEN, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE BUILDINGS ARE PRETTY MUCH THE SAME SIZE. GOT IT. THANK YOU. YEAH. THAT COMPLETES YOUR QUESTIONS COMMISSIONER WATSON. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. JUST ONE FINAL THOUGHT. YES, SIR. SIR, I WROTE DOWN THAT YOU HAD INTERGENERATIONAL HOUSING. I THINK THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. HAVE YOU TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION OF A PERSON OF A CERTAIN MATURITY AND HOW THEY MAY INTERACT WITH A YOUTHFUL PERSON? YOU KNOW, I HAVE TWO DOGS. I MEAN, OLDER DOGS AND DON'T TYPICALLY LIKE PUPPIES. WELL, I'LL BE COMING WITH THOSE PERSONS OF A CERTAIN AGE, SO I APPRECIATE IT. SO THE THE THE ANSWER IS YES. WE ACTUALLY THINK THERE'S THERE'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY THERE, ESPECIALLY IN, YOU KNOW, IN THIS IN THIS DAY AND AGE, WE THINK THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE YOU CAN HAVE, YOU KNOW, FOLKS THAT ARE MAYBE MUCH MORE MATURE, THAT CAN HAVE ENGAGEMENT WITH YOUNGER FOLKS IN SOME, SOME INSTANCES. SO WE SEE THAT AS A, AS A POSITIVE OPPORTUNITY, TYPICALLY IN MORE DENSE AREAS, YOU KNOW, YOU WOULD HAVE, YOU KNOW, SENIORS LIVING NEXT DOOR TO YOUNG FAMILY OR, YOU KNOW, THINGS LIKE THAT WOULD BE OCCURRING. SO, YOU KNOW, WE DON'T SEE IT AS ONE OR THE OTHER. BUT THERE'S I THINK THERE'S A WAY TO KIND OF BLEND THOSE THINGS FOR SOME OPPORTUNITIES TO, TO BRING FOLKS TOGETHER. THANK YOU. I HAVE ONE MORE ONE MORE QUESTION. THANK YOU. ATTORNEY WIGGINS, DID YOU HAVE IF THAT'S ALL THE QUESTIONS FROM THE BOARD AND YOU GUYS ARE DONE HEARING FROM THE APPLICANT, I KNOW STAFF NEEDS TO DO THEIR STAFF REPORT, BUT I DID WANT TO POINT OUT SOMETHING I TOOK THE TIME TO READ READ THE SENIOR HOUSING. BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE BASED ON COMMISSIONER STILES'S QUESTION, IN SEEKING CLARITY THAT THE APPLICANT IS SEEKING TO DO MULTIFAMILY AND ASSISTED LIVING, NOT MULTIFAMILY AND SENIOR HOUSING. AND IF THAT'S ACCURATE, THERE'S A WHOLE NOTHER SET OF REQUIREMENTS FOR ASSISTED LIVING, WHICH I DID NOT READ. AND SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GUYS ARE ASSESSING THIS APPLICATION AGAINST THE RIGHT CRITERIA. AND THEN SO THAT'S ONE POINT. THE SECOND POINT IS WHETHER OR NOT ASSISTED LIVING IS A PERMITTED USE IN THE MY DISTRICT IN THE FIRST PLACE, BECAUSE WE WERE WORKING UNDER THE UNDERSTANDING OF SENIOR HOUSING, WHICH IS NOT ACCURATE BASED ON THIS LAST EXCHANGE. WELL, LET ME JUST CLARIFY. AND AND SOME OF IT MIGHT BE MY CONFUSION BECAUSE I USE THE WORD SOMETIMES INTERCHANGEABLY. SO FOR SENIOR HOUSING FOR US IS SENIOR HOUSING. WHETHER THE END PRODUCT IS WHETHER YOU'RE DOING INDEPENDENT OR ASSISTED LIVING PIECE. SO IF THAT IF THAT'S A DISTINCTION, THEN, YOU KNOW, WE CAN GO THROUGH THE PIECES TO SEE WHAT WHAT'S NEEDED TO KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT'S CLEAR. UNFORTUNATELY, WE CANNOT INTERCHANGE THOSE TWO TERMS. THERE ARE DISTINCT IN OUR CODE AND THE REQUIREMENTS FOR ONE VERSUS THE OTHER ARE VERY, QUITE DIFFERENT. SO I THINK IT NEEDS TO BE CLEAR ON WHAT YOUR END GOAL IS. RIGHT? SENIORS, WE GET THAT. BUT WHETHER IT'S GOING TO BE AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY OR SENIOR HOUSING, OTHERWISE THIS APPLICANT, THIS APPLICATION IS NOT RIGHT FOR

[00:35:02]

ABSOLUTELY, I GET IT. SO IT IS IT IS THE THE ASSISTED LIVING THAT WE'RE PURSUING. AND AGAIN, I APOLOGIZE FOR THE CONFUSION. I USE THE WORDS INTERCHANGEABLY BECAUSE FOR ME IT'S HOUSING THAT WE BUILD WHAT THE END USER IS, WHETHER IT'S SUPPORTIVE HOUSING, VETERANS HOUSING OR SENIORS. YOU KIND OF, YOU KNOW, SO I, I STAND CORRECTED ON ON THAT. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS.

ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? YES, MISS GATEWOOD. YES. IF I MAY, THIS APPLICATION IS FOR THE REZONING. BUT IF YOU LOOK AT THE SECOND ITEM ON THE AGENDA, IT IS FOR THE USE PERMIT FOR ASSISTED LIVING. THEIR APPLICATION WAS FOR SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING. SO THEY DID MEET THAT CRITERIA BEFORE GOING ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THE PLANNING COMMISSION PROCESS.

YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. IF THAT WASN'T ALREADY CLEAR THAT THEY ARE SEEKING THE REZONING TO COMBINE THE PARCELS, BUT ALSO GET THE USE PERMIT BASED ON WHETHER THEY GET APPROVED FOR THE REZONING OR NOT TO DO ASSISTED LIVING ONCE IT'S COMBINED, IF THAT MAKES SENSE. YEAH, OKAY. THAT'S HELPFUL. THANK YOU. I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION AND I'M I KNOW I ASKED THIS LAST WEEK, BUT I WANT TO ASK IT AGAIN. AND THAT IS THE MY PORTION. AND IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION I MEAN YOUR ANSWER CORRECTLY. YOU SAID THERE WILL NOT BE ANY ON SITE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE. AND I HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT THERE'S NOT EVEN A HOSPITAL BY. SO MAYBE I'M MISUNDERSTANDING. WHERE IS THE MI PORTION OF YOUR REQUEST COMING IN? THEY WON'T HAVE ANYONE THERE. THEY DON'T HAVE ANYTHING NEARBY. SO THE ZONING PIECE FOR ME IS CONFUSING THE MI PART. YEAH, I KNOW THE MI WAS A LITTLE TRICKY FOR US TO UNDERSTAND IN THE PIECES. THE THE NAME SORT OF THROWS FOLKS OFF, BUT IN TERMS OF THE SERVICE LEVEL, THERE WOULD BE PEOPLE ON SITE AS A REQUIREMENT TO MAKE SURE THAT FOLKS ARE OKAY. IT WILL IT WOULD NOT BE, YOU KNOW, LIKE A HOSPITAL SETTING, OF COURSE, BUT IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, DOCTORS AND NURSES THAT HAVE TO COME IN TO TAKE CARE OF OF THE RESIDENTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

AND CERTAINLY THEY WOULD BE ATTENDANTS THERE TO KIND OF DEAL WITH ANY ISSUES THAT COME UP SORT OF ON THE SPOT. BUT BUT IT'S NOT A, IT'S NOT A MEDICAL FACILITY IN THAT SENSE, SUCH AS A HOSPITAL. SO, DIRECTOR SMITH, WHAT IS THE CITY'S OBLIGATION TO APPROVING? THIS WITHOUT HAVING ANY MEDICAL COMPONENT ATTACHED TO IT? THERE SEEMS TO BE NO COMMITMENT OR OBLIGATION FOR THE RESIDENTS THAT ARE GOING TO GO IN AS ASSISTANT LIVING, BUT THERE'S NO ASSISTING. THANK YOU FOR THAT. FOR THAT QUESTION. IN REFERENCE TO THE CITY OF EAST POINT'S MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT, IT HAS MULTIPLE PERMITTED USES. BY RIGHTS, THIS PARTICULAR AREA ALONG CLEVELAND AVENUE IS POSTED AS A MEDICAL INSTITUTION CORRIDOR. WHEN THE CITY DID HAVE A HOSPITAL AND OTHER SUPPORTIVE MEDICAL USES ALONG THAT CORRIDOR, THE ZONING ORDINANCE FOR MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL DOES NOT REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A MEDICAL COMPONENT, BUT IT DOES PROVIDE FOR OPPORTUNITIES FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF USES. AND IN THAT ZONING DISTRICT, SENIOR HOUSING IS PERMITTED BY RIGHT. WHAT IS NOT PERMITTED BY RIGHT IS THE ASSISTED LIVING COMPONENT, WHICH IS THE NEXT PETITION ON THE AGENDA IN REFERENCE TO THIS CASE. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS HEARING NO OTHER QUESTIONS. WHAT DO I HAVE? MADAM CHAIR, I'M SORRY TO INTERRUPT BECAUSE THIS APPLICANT HAS THE TWO. ITEMS. THE ONE THING OR TWO, IT MAY MAKE SENSE FOR EFFICIENCY PURPOSES TO GO AHEAD AND DO YOUR PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SECOND PORTION, BECAUSE IT'S GOING TO ANSWER THE QUESTION YOU JUST ASKED. WHAT IS THE REQUIREMENT FOR ASSISTED LIVING? IF IT'S NOT, YOU KNOW, ASSISTANCE OR SOME TYPE OF MEDICAL ASSISTANCE? RIGHT. AND THEN YOU CAN GO TO THAT CODE SECTION AND DISCUSS WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS ARE UNDER THE STATUTE. SO WE DON'T NEED TO CLOSE THE FIRST CASE OUT I WOULD NOT. GET A MOTION FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING. SOUND NUMBER TWO OKAY. AND THEN IT NEEDS TO SAY ANYTHING ADDITIONAL ABOUT THOSE REQUIREMENTS UNDER THE CODE. AND THAT YOU AGREE WITH

[00:40:04]

SECOND I HEAR A MOTION AND A SECOND TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ON THE SECOND CASE FOR C EMBASSY DEVELOPMENT GROUP. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I. I OPPOSES HEARING NONE. WE WILL NOW GO INTO THE SECOND CASE FOR CMC DEVELOPMENT GROUP. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. IN REFERENCE TO ITEM NUMBER TWO ON THE AGENDA, CASE NUMBER P20252-00108. THE APPLICANT CMC DEVELOPMENT GROUP PROPERTY LOCATED AT ZERO NORM BERRY DRIVE. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A USE PERMIT TO DEVELOP A 138 UNITS OF ASSISTED SENIOR LIVING IN THE MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT. IN THE CASE TYPE IS A USE PERMIT. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR SMITH. APPLICANT. YOU MAY GO AHEAD WITH YOUR PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU. I ACTUALLY DON'T HAVE A PRESENTATION, SO. AND AND STAFF MAY PRESENT THE SECOND PART OF THIS.

MADAM CHAIR BECAUSE HE DOESN'T HAVE THE PRESENTATION. LET'S GO AHEAD AND JUST ASK FOR THE ROOM IF THERE'S ANYONE IN FAVOR IF YOU WANT TO CLOSE. AND THEN WE CAN GET TO STAFF PRESENTATION. OKAY. THANK YOU. MADAM ATTORNEY. SO WE DON'T HAVE ANYONE IN FAVOR OR AGAINST THIS PARTICULAR APPLICANT. WE'RE JUST GOING FOR A MOTION. WELL, NO, BECAUSE YOU ONLY ASK. WE ONLY HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE FIRST CASE. THEY CAN ASK QUESTIONS. OKAY, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? BECAUSE WE DIDN'T DO ZONING AND VARIANCE. FIRST. THERE WAS NO ONE THAT CAME UP. BUT FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING SURE WE FOLLOW THE PUBLIC HEARING RULES, LET'S ASK THE AUDIENCE IF THERE'S ANYONE IN FAVOR OR OPPOSED TO THE USE. IT'S THE PUBLIC COMMENT. IS THERE ANYONE HERE IN FAVOR OF THE USE PERMIT? YOU MAY COME FORWARD. STATE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS. DO WE HAVE ANYONE IN FAVOR OF THE USE PERMIT? YES. THANK. COM WE DO SEE ONE PERSON IN FAVOR OF YOU MAY STATE YOUR NAME AND YOUR ADDRESS. HELLO, MY NAME IS MARCUS GUTHRIE. MY ADDRESS IS 3645 MARKETPLACE BOULEVARD, SUITE 130 023. AND I'M SPEAKING IN FAVOR OF THE OF THE REZONING FOR THIS PARTICULAR DEVELOPMENT.

I'VE BEEN A LONG TIME. I'M NO LONGER A CURRENT PHYSICAL RESIDENT, BUT A LONG TIME RESIDENT OF THE CITY OF EAST POINT. MOVED HERE IN 1978. WE'VE SEEN A LOT OF DEVELOPMENT GO ON, FAVORABLE AND UNFAVORABLE FOR OUR COMMUNITY. AS A COMMUNITY ADVOCATE, I THINK THAT THIS WILL DEFINITELY WORK WITH OUR AGING WORK FOR OUR AGING COMMUNITY AND FOR THE YOUNG COMMUNITY THAT'S COMING UP AT THE SAME TIME, ESPECIALLY IF WE COULD DO A MIXED DEVELOPMENT LIKE THAT. THERE'S SEVERAL STUDIES THAT HAVE SHOWN THAT A MIXED COMMUNITY, AS FAR AS AGE GROUPS, IS BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE. SO JUST FOR THAT PARTICULAR, EVEN THAT PARTICULAR FACT, I DON'T HAVE THE DATA IN FRONT OF ME, BUT IT'S IT'S READILY AVAILABLE ONLINE. I THINK THAT THIS PROJECT SHOULD DEFINITELY GET A THUMBS UP FROM EAST POINT CITY COUNCIL. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SIR. DO WE HAVE ANYONE ELSE IN FAVOR OF THE REZONING? DO WE HAVE ANYONE OPPOSED TO THE REZONING? I DON'T SEE ANYONE COMING FORWARD AND WE CAN NOW CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON MADAM CHAIR. YES, SIR. MAKE A MOTION. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. SECOND, WE HAVE NOW HEARD A PROPOSAL. WE HAVE HEARD A MOTION TO TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON CASE NUMBER 2025, DASH 001, DASH ZERO EIGHT AND P20252-00108.

[00:45:03]

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONAL. AND IT'S THE DARKER BLUE TOWARD THE THE LOWER RIGHT HAND CORNER OF THE INTERSECTION. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION IS REDEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORHOOD AND IN REDEVELOPMENT NEIGHBORHOOD. THE FUTURE PLANNING IN THIS AREA IS TO IMPROVE HOUSING CONDITIONS, TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF VACANT HOMES AND LOTS THESE NEIGHBORHOODS ARE WILL INCLUDE AN ASSORTMENT OF HOUSING TYPES SUCH AS SINGLE FAMILY, TWO FAMILY AND MULTIFAMILY. THE DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD WILL ASSEMBLE IN THE TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD, A TYPE OF STREET GRID AND NETWORK WITH TREE CANOPIES, POCKET PARKS, AND WALKABLE ENVIRONMENTS. STAFF. ACTUALLY, THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE ABANDONMENT OF THE CITY OWNED RIGHT OF WAY LOCATED ALONG WASHINGTON AVENUE IN NORMAN BERRY DRIVE IN AKRON STREET FOR THE PURPOSE TO CONSTRUCT NORMAN BERRY VILLAGE SENIOR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT ON JUNE 20TH, 2023. SNAP STAFF DOES RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE REZONING FROM EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONAL TO MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL FOR THE PURPOSE TO CONSOLIDATE THREE PARCELS WITH THE CONCURRENT VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED PARKING SPACES FOR THE PURPOSE OF DEVELOPING THE SENIOR ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY. IN REFERENCE TO THE USE PERMIT. STAFF ALSO RECOMMENDED APPROVAL OF THE USE PERMIT FOR THE PURPOSE TO CONSOLIDATE THE LOTS AND TO PROVIDE FOR THE CONCURRENT VARIANCE FOR THE REDUCED PARKING USE PERMITS UNDER THE MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT IS A REQUIREMENT FOR ASSISTED LIVING, AND SO THAT WAS THE INTENT AND PURPOSE TO HAVE THIS USE PERMIT ASSOCIATED WITH THE REZONING. WITHOUT THE REZONING, YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET A USE PERMIT. SO THE APPLICANT WAS REQUIRED TO APPLY FOR THIS. AND SO THAT'S WHY THE REZONING AND THE VARIANCES WERE APPLIED FOR FIRST. AND IF IT IS APPROVED, THEN THE APPLICANT WILL GO FOR THE USE PERMIT TO ADD THE ASSISTED LIVING AS A USE. AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU, DIRECTOR SMITH. COMMISSIONERS, YOU HAVE HEARD FROM STAFF WHAT IS YOUR PLEASURE. I'LL MAKE A MOTION TO DISCUSS. GO AHEAD. COMMISSIONER STYLES. I THINK MAKING A MOTION TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION SO THAT DISCUSSION CAN OCCUR BEFORE THE MOTION ON THE ON THE AGENDA.

SECOND. GO AHEAD, PLEASE, MADAM CHAIR. ALL IN FAVOR? REALLY QUICK BEFORE THE MOTION TO FOR DISCUSSION, DID SHE. YEAH, BUT I DIDN'T HEAR HER. I MADE A MOTION TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION. DO I HEAR A SECOND? SECOND? IT HAS BEEN MOTION AND PROPERLY SECOND THAT WE OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I HEAR. NOW. THE FLOOR IS NOW OPEN FOR DISCUSSION. COMMISSIONERS. DO I SEE ANYONE'S LINE? OKAY, GO AHEAD, COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN. OKAY, SO THE OTHER ANOTHER QUESTION THAT I HAVE, CAN I

[00:50:01]

SO IT MAY BE DIFFICULT FOR SOMEONE TO TO RENT OUT THEIR SINGLE UNIT FOR SHORT TERM RENTAL. THEY MOST LIKELY WOULDN'T MEET THE SHORT TERM RENTAL REQUIREMENTS. THAT'S WHY TO MAKE SURE. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT HAS A QUESTION? SURE, YES. WITHOUT THE APPLICANT OR THIS IS TO YOU, DIRECTOR SMITH, WITHOUT THE APPLICANT HAVE TO HAVING TO RESUBMIT. IS THERE A WAY TO OMIT THE VERBIAGE ASSISTED OUT OF THIS, WHERE IT'S JUST SENIOR LIVING AND MIXED USE, AND IT'S JUST PRESENTED SIMPLY AS THAT, BECAUSE AS IT WAS PRESENTED EARLIER, THERE IS NO MEDICAL. I'VE ADOPTED A SENIOR AND SHE'S SHE STAYS IN A PLACE WHERE SHE HAS A DRAW CORD AND SHE FALLS. SHE CAN PULL ON THAT DRAWSTRING THERE. THERE APPEARS TO BE NO ACTIVE MEDICAL STAFF OTHER THAN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DOWN THE STREET TO ASSIST SOMEONE. IF THEY FAIL. THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT TO OMIT ASSISTED OTHERS. THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT WHETHER THEY'RE WILLING TO OR IS THAT THEIR INTENT? YOU WOULD HAVE TO ASK THE APPLICANT AND THEY WOULD NEED TO PROVIDE A RESPONSE.

OKAY. YEAH, I WAS JUST ASKING YOU THAT WAY. WE DON'T SEE THIS NEXT MONTH IF IF IT'S POSSIBLE TO OMIT THAT WORD OUT THERE, WE DON'T. SO JUST SO YOU KNOW THAT ASSISTED LIVING IS ALLOWED TO PERMIT ANYBODY. AND YOU SEE HERE THESE ARE THE THINGS THAT COULD HAPPEN. NEEDS TO GET THAT EASEMENT. NUMBER TWO, AT LEAST ONE ADMINISTRATOR ON SITE MANAGER OR STAFF PERSON MUST.

COME DAY. IT DOESN'T QUALIFY THAT PERSON WHO HAS NO MEDICAL TRAINING. BUT IT DOES REQUIRE THEM TO BE THERE. THERE'S OTHER CONDITIONS THAT YOU MAY WANT TO TAKE A SECOND TO TO READ OVER.

THOSE. SAME OR YEAH, THOSE THINGS ARE REQUIREMENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED FOR SENIOR HOUSING.

RIGHT. I READ ABOUT THIS IN HOUSING. SO IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A REQUIRED PERSON ON SITE. SOME OF THE OTHER DIFFERENCES I SAW FOR THIS ASSISTANT LIVING REQUIREMENT IS THAT THEY HAVE A KITCHEN AND DINING AREA. SO AND THEN ALSO YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT SENIOR HOUSING I THINK I SAID THIS IS ALLOWED BY RIGHT. IT WOULDN'T EVEN NEED A USE PERMIT. IT WOULD JUST NEED THE REZONING AND THE CURRENT VARIANCE. I'M GOOD. YEAH. DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, COMMISSIONER? THAT WAS COMMISSIONER PRESLEY. YEAH. YES. GO AHEAD PLEASE. YEAH. I THINK THE THE CLARIFICATION IS ABOUT ASSISTED LIVING VERSUS LIKE NURSING HOMES AND THINGS LIKE THAT. THERE'S NEVER 24 HOUR STAFF AT ASSISTED LIVING. THE STAFF IS COMING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME DURING THE DAY. AND THEN THEY HAVE THEM ON CALL. SO THEY'RE LIKE THIS IS MORE LIKE FUNCTIONAL ADULTS OR PERSONAL SENIORS THAT LIKE ALMOST WOULD TRANSITION TO A NURSING HOME. I THINK THAT CLARIFICATION IS MORE NECESSARY BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WE'RE LOOKING AT IT AS A HOSPITAL STAFF BEING THERE 24 SEVEN, AND THAT'S NOT KIND OF THE THAT'S NOT WHAT ASSISTED LIVING IS. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION. AND ANYBODY CAN BACK ME UP. I THINK THE THE APPLICANT CAN SPEAK TO THAT AS WELL BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S THE, THE, THE, THE NOMENCLATURE IS KIND OF CONFUSING. BUT THE, THE CLARIFICATION OF WHAT IS ASSISTED LIVING VERSUS IS NOT POINT NUMBER TWO. THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE MEDICALLY TRAINED.

SO OKAY. DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR STATEMENT. YES I'M SORRY. THAT'S OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GO AHEAD COMMISSIONER. SO HAVING HAD SOME REALLY INTERESTING TOURS OF ASSISTED LIVING PLACES, ASSISTED LIVING IS VERY MUCH THAT THERE ARE CNAS. THEY'RE NOT FULL, THEY'RE

[00:55:01]

THANK YOU COMMISSIONER. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I DO I WAS YES SIR. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT COMMISSIONER COMMISSIONER FEELS CAN YOU SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE MIC AND SPEAK UP JUST A LITTLE BIT PLEASE? IT SEEMS TO ME THAT WHEN I READ THE APPLICATIONS REQUEST, HE WANTS TO DEVELOP ASSISTED LIVING AND REGULAR MULTIFAMILY DWELLINGS. AT THE SAME TIME. THE QUESTION IS, WHAT PORTION IS ASSISTED LIVING AND WHAT PORTION IS MULTIFAMILY? AND I THINK TOGETHER IT'S ALL MULTIFAMILY. IT'S WHAT THE INTENT OF HIS APPLICATION IS. BUT IN ORDER TO TO DO THAT, HE FEELS THAT HE'S GOT TO GO TO A MEDICAL INSTITUTIONAL DISTRICT IN ORDER TO DO THAT. I THINK, QUITE FRANKLY, THAT A REQUEST FOR MULTIFAMILY HOUSING SHOULD GO THROUGH THE R3 DISTRICT CRITERIA, AND THEN WE CAN DEVELOP THAT FROM THERE. AND, AND ALL THIS ASSISTED LIVING TALK AND STUFF LIKE THAT WOULDN'T EVEN APPLY. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO APPLY BECAUSE IT'S NOT SET UP FOR THAT. HE JUST WANTS TO DO IN MY IN MY OPINION, HE JUST WANTS TO DO A MULTIFAMILY. WHICH MULTIFAMILY FOR THE CITY IS GREAT. YOU KNOW, I APPRECIATE THAT, BUT THIS IS A CONVOLUTED PRESENTATION AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED. AND IT'S GOT TOO MANY DIFFERENT PARTS. THAT'S NOT FITTING PROPERLY. SO I PERSONALLY THAT THAT'S HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. BUT THERE'S THERE'S NO DIRECT. THING I CAN DO. I DON'T I DON'T THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT. I THINK THIS SHOULD BE DONE FOR R3 REDEVELOPMENT, AND THEN WE CAN DISCERN WHETHER THAT IS GOOD OR NOT GOOD FOR THE AREA. BECAUSE HE HE. I MEAN, THAT'S THAT'S THE WAY I SEE IT. I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. I CAN'T SEE SEE THIS GOING, YOU KNOW, WE'RE WE'RE ASKING TOO MANY DIFFERENT DISPARATE QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS, THIS APPLICATION WHEN BASICALLY IT'S A IT'S A IT'S AN APPLICATION FOR MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER PHILZ I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER LIGHTS. COMMISSIONERS. WHAT DO I HEAR? YOU'VE HEARD FROM STAFF AND YOU'VE HEARD FROM THE APPLICANT. RIGHT. I JUST WANT TO PUT OUT ONE THING.

AND THE COMMISSIONER. SORRY, COMMISSIONER. COMMISSIONER. YES. GO AHEAD PLEASE. IS THAT IF THERE HAS BEEN ANY RESEARCH AND STUDIES OR EXAMPLES OF WHERE ELSE THIS HAS BEEN DONE, I THINK I KIND OF WENT ON CHATGPT HERE, AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOME AREAS IN ATLANTIC STATION HERE IN EASTPORT. I MEAN, HERE IN ATLANTA, WE ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING OF THE SORTS HERE. SO I THINK. WE ALSO HAVE TO CONSIDER THAT SHOWING OTHER EXAMPLES, SHOWING SOME TYPE OF LIKE RESEARCH FROM, FROM THE APPLICANT SIDE, NOT NECESSARILY FROM THE STAFF, THAT WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE IN OTHER PLACES OR WHAT IT IS CURRENTLY DOING IF IT'S SUCCESSFUL. BECAUSE I THINK SOME OF THE CONCERNS HERE SOUNDS LIKE IT MIGHT NOT BE IF IT IS NOT SUCCESSFUL. IT'S A

[01:00:04]

AND THAT'S PRIMARILY WHERE HE'S PROPOSING HIS DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY. THE APPLICATION AGAIN CAME TO US AS ASSISTED LIVING. AND SINCE ONE PORTION OF THE PROPERTY, TWO OF THE PARCELS. AND THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I WAS LOOKING AT THE THE PLAT, TWO OF THE PARCELS ARE ACTUALLY ZONED MI. AND ALL HE'S TRYING TO DO IS CONSOLIDATE THOSE PARCELS SINCE A COUPLE YEARS AGO. HE HAD THE ABANDONMENT OF THE ROAD THAT RAN THROUGH THERE.

HE HAD HE BASICALLY GOT THAT. SO ALL HE'S DOING WITH THIS APPLICATION IS CONSOLIDATING, MAKING IT ALL AM I? AND SINCE THIS APPLICATION IS FOR ASSISTED LIVING, HE CAN ACTUALLY DO SENIOR HOUSING BY RIGHT. HOWEVER, THE ASSISTED LIVING PORTION AGAIN HAS TO BE THROUGH THE USE PERMIT. OKAY. THANK YOU, THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THE CLARIFICATION.

COMMISSIONER STYLES. YEAH I JUST WANT TO AGREE WITH MY COMMISSIONER TO MY RIGHT HERE.

WAYNE. I JUST I FEEL LIKE THIS IS UP ZONING AND I FEEL LIKE IT'S A BASED ON THE CODE. IT'S CORRECT. AND A NORMAL REQUEST. AND I FEEL LIKE THIS IS SOMETHING THAT OUR CITY NEEDS.

AND FOR ME, AFTER I ASKED MY CLARIFICATION QUESTIONS, I DO FEEL CONFIDENT IN THE APPLICANT'S. WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IN HIS HIS MOTIVES. AND I THINK THAT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT PIECE FOR EASTPOINT. AND I THINK IT I'M CLEAR ON WHAT IT WHAT IT MEANS IN TERMS OF THE CODE AND THE REQUEST. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER PRESLEY. GIVEN SOME SLIGHT RESERVATION ABOUT THIS INTERGENERATIONAL HOUSING, I HAVE HEARD FROM BOTH THE ATTORNEY'S STAFF, THE DIRECTORS AND MY FELLOW COMMISSIONERS. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE SECOND, SECOND. THIS IS A MOTION TO APPROVE, WHICH WE HAVE GOT TO, SO I HEARD THAT MOTION ON 2025 R&B 108, WHICH IS THE SECOND VARIANCES COMMISSION STAFF. THAT YOU GUYS ARE PRESENTING WITH YOUR REPORT. THIS IS STRAIGHTFORWARD, I THINK. IT'S A STRAIGHT APPROVAL BASED ON THE CRITERIA POINTS THAT WILL BE REQUIRED FOR EACH OF THE ASSISTED LIVING AS WELL AS SENIOR HOUSING. HOUSING. RIGHT. SO THE FIRST MOTION SHOULD BE A ONE OF THE CURRENT HEARINGS IS ONLY EVER WITH THOSE VARIANCES ARE. AND THEN ONCE YOU GET YOUR APPROVAL THAT CHAIR YOU CAN TAKE A MOTION ON THE SECOND PAGE FOR THE CORRECT. AND I'M ASSUMING THAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FIRST ONE GETTING.

OKAY. MY NAME IS DOUGLAS HANNAH, 1742 WOODWARD CREEK, ATLANTA, GEORGIA. CAN YOU SPELL IT, PLEASE? D O U G L A S DOUGLAS. LAST NAME H A N N A. THANK YOU. YOU MAY PROCEED ALL RIGHT. SO BRIEFLY TONIGHT WE'LL QUICKLY GO OVER A PROPERTY PROFILE. THE REZONING REQUEST, WHICH IS TO REZONE THE PROPERTY FROM R1 TO R3. AND CONCURRENT WITH THAT REQUEST, WE'RE MAKING TWO CONCURRENT REQUESTS TO CHANGE THE SITE SETBACK. THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 6FT TO 4FT, AND THEN ANOTHER ONE TO INCREASE THE BUILDING OVERALL HEIGHT FROM 40FT TO 45FT. OH, SORRY.

WE ALSO HAVE THE ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ANALYSIS, IMPACT ANALYSIS, AND PROJECT DIGITAL RENDERING.

SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING ON YOUR SCREEN NOW TO THE LEFT IS THE PROPERTY. AND THAT'S 1784. AND IT'S AT THE CROSSROAD OF WEST HILL AVENUE AND SAME STREET. AND IT'S A PIECE OF VACANT LAND.

PER THE CITY OF EASTPOINTE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP, IT'S CURRENTLY ZONED IN THE

[01:20:05]

AGAIN, WE REFER TO THE URBAN PLAN, WHICH IS SOMETHING WE'RE TRYING TO DO NOW OUTSIDE OF THE LANDSCAPE IN WHICH WE KNOW WE WILL DO FOR PART OF THE PROJECT AS WELL. THERE'S ALSO NO NEGATIVE IMPACT TO RESIDENTS. AND THEN IN TERMS OF THE IMPACT ANALYSIS, DOES THE PROPERTY PROPOSAL PERMIT A USE THAT IS SUITABLE, WHICH IT DOES. DOES IT ADVERSELY AFFECT THE EXISTING USE? NO, IT DOESN'T DOES. IS THERE A REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE AS CURRENTLY ZONED? YES. WILL THE PROPOSAL RESULT IN SOMETHING THAT IS BURDENSOME? NO. IS IT WITHIN THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES AND INTENT OF THE LAND USE? YES. ARE THERE CONDITIONS THAT SUPPORT THE APPROVAL OR DENIAL? YES. WE REFER TO THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE ECONOMIC PLAN.

AND DO WE THINK THAT IT WILL BE A BURDEN TO THE RESOURCES AND THE CITIZENS OF EASTPOINTE? NO.

AND THEN UP LAST YET, JUST A DIGITAL RENDERING TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE PROJECT WOULD LOOK LIKE. SO WE TURN IT OVER TO YOU. IS THAT. I'M SORRY. DOES THAT CONCLUDE YOUR PRESENTATION? YES, MA'AM. IT DOES. YES. STAFF I'M SORRY. COMMISSIONERS. THE STAFF. STAFF IS HERE. IS THERE ANYONE HERE IN FAVOR OF THE PROJECT? IF YOU. SO PLEASE COME FORWARD. IS

[01:25:03]

BUT FOR R3 THE SIDE SETBACK FOR DUPLEXES EIGHT IS SIX FEET AND WE'RE ASKING TO MOVE IT TO FOUR FEET. OKAY. THANK YOU. DO I HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION, PLEASE? YEAH. MADAM CHAIR. WHAT I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE SEASON PROCESS FOR THIS, FOR NOTIFICATION OF THE NEIGHBORS.

THIS THE SEASON NOTIFICATION PROCESS FOR THE COMMUNITY ZONING INFORMATION MEETING.

BECAUSE I AM WITHIN THE 500 FOOT AND YOU HAD TO SEND ME A POSTCARD. AND I DIDN'T RECEIVE IT UNTIL THE DAY AFTER YOUR SEASON, YOUR SCHEDULED MEETING, AND THEN I SINCE LAST WEEK, I'VE CHECKED WITH A COUPLE OF OTHER NEIGHBORS. AND YES, IT'S ANECDOTAL, BUT THEY ALSO DID NOT RECEIVE THE CARDS UNTIL AFTER THE MEETING. SO I DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT. SO ON, I MEAN, DO YOU FEEL YOU HAVE REALLY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THE NEIGHBORS ON SIMS STREET AND THE NEIGHBORS ON, YOU KNOW, WEST TAYLOR AND PARK STREETS? WE'VE HAD WHEN WE SENT OUT THE POSTCARDS, EVEN AFTERWARDS, ONCE THEY RECEIVED RESIDENTS CALLED. SO IF RESIDENTS WOULD HAVE CALLED, WE WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY SPOKEN TO THEM. IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE BEEN ATTENDING THE COMMUNITY MEETINGS. THEY HAPPEN THE FIRST TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH. WE ATTENDED JANUARY, FEBRUARY, NOT MARCH AND APRIL. WE'RE THERE FOR MAY. THEY WILL CLOSE FOR SUMMER, FOR JUNE THROUGH AUGUST, JUNE THROUGH JULY. SORRY, AUGUST, WE'RE PREPARING FOR THIS ONE. AND I DON'T THINK WHAT HAS HAPPENED FOR SEPTEMBER, NOT IN ADDITION TO THAT. WE'VE ALSO WE ALSO PART OF THE CENTER PARK NEIGHBORHOOD FACEBOOK GROUP. AND THERE WAS ANOTHER REZONING AND THERE WAS QUESTIONS ON THAT. WE'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON THAT NO LATER THAN TODAY THAT WE'VE SEEN NO QUESTIONS FOR THIS ONE. OVER THE HOLIDAY RECENTLY, SOMEONE STOLE OUR SIGNS. WE REACHED OUT TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMITTEE, ASKED THEM TO PUT UP NEW SIGNS. WE PUT THEM UP. THE NEIGHBOR TEXTED ME THIS MORNING, TOLD ME SOMEONE KICKED THEM AND STOLE THEM AGAIN. YEAH. SO. RIGHT. SO WHILE WE, YOU KNOW, WE DO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE MAY HAVE BEEN SOME SORT OF TIMING DIFFERENCE, WE THINK THAT THAT'S KIND OF OUT OF OUR CONTROL, BUT WE'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON THE PROCESS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, TO THE EXTENT THAT WE ARE IN CONTROL OF IT. YEAH, I REALLY APPRECIATE THAT. AND I WANTED TO HEAR THAT, AND I WANTED TO GET THAT ON THE RECORD AS WELL, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THERE MAY BE LITTLE, A LITTLE REARRANGING OF HOW HOW SOON THE GO OUT BEFORE A MEETING. BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WAS ON THE RECORD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS I SEE, COMMISSIONER PRESLEY. MY QUESTION IS, SIR. HELP ME UNDERSTAND HOW BY INCREASING THE BUILDING HEIGHT WOULD. YEAH. SO, YOU KNOW, AID WITH A ROOFTOP GARDEN. I'M A LITTLE IF YOU ON THAT IF YOU WERE TO PUT A ROOFTOP RIGHT AND FOR GARDENING PURPOSES YOU WANTED TO PUT A COVERING ON THAT ROOFTOP, RIGHT. SO IF YOU PUT A PLANT ABOUT A TWO FEET OFF THE GROUND, SO YOU GOT TWO FEET WORTH OF PLANTS, THEN YOU ATTACH MAYBE A THREE FOOT POLE AND YOU PUT A SHED ROOF ON TOP OF THAT. THAT SHED ROOF COUNTS TOWARDS THE OVERALL HEIGHT OF THE BUILDING. OKAY, NEW QUESTION. ARE WE TALKING ABOUT A COMBUSTIBLE COVERING? COMBUSTIBLE COVERING. YES. WOULD IT IS IT IS IT FLAMMABLE? THE POTENTIAL TO BURN. NO NO NO IT WOULD BE. IT WOULD FOLLOW THE REGULAR ROOFING STANDARDS IN TERMS OF EVERYTHING ELSE. OKAY. AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY FLOOR PLANS, BUT I, I WAS A LITTLE CURIOUS. WAS THIS PROPERTY GOING TO BE PROTECTED BY SPRINKLER SYSTEMS, FIRE LONG

[01:30:04]

CUSTOM WINDOWS. METAL ROOFS. IS CUSTOM WINDOWS? NO. WELL, THE COLORS WOULD WE UNDERSTAND. IN PARTICULAR, AS IT RELATES TO THIS RENDERING, WE HAVE TO IN TERMS OF OUR MATERIALS, IS WE HAVE TO DO A STUDY WHEN IT'S TIME TO BUILD AND MAKE SURE THAT WE USE ALL OF THE MATERIALS THAT ARE IN THE HOUSES SURROUNDING US. SO WE'RE NOT FINALIZED ON THE EXACT DESIGN YET. OKAY. AND THEN ALSO WITH THE ROOF, WHEN YOU WHEN YOU PUT A GARDEN ON THE ROOF THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE IRRIGATION, YOU HAVE TO HAVE A LOT OF IS MORE WEIGHT BEARING ON THE, ON THE ROOF. SO YOU GOT TO ENFORCE THE STRUCTURE. ALL OF THAT ADDS COST. SO IS IT ARE YOU DOING THIS. SO WHICH IS WHY IF YOU LOOK IN OUR ZONING PACKAGE IN PARTICULAR AND OUR FLOOR PLANS, THAT PARTICULAR PART IS NOT BUILT IN YET. WE'RE STILL TRYING TO BUILD THAT UP FROM A FEASIBILITY. BECAUSE WE ALSO WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO REMAIN WITHIN A CERTAIN PRICE POINT. AND IF THAT ADDS TOO MUCH BURDEN, THEN WE WOULD DISALLOW FOR THAT. THE DENSITY ALLOWS YOU TO GO TO A HIGHER PRICE POINT, RIGHT? I MEAN, NOT A ACHIEVE A CERTAIN LEVEL, QUITE FRANKLY, GIVEN THE CURRENT MACROECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTS, A HIGH PRICE POINT FOR US WOULD NOT MAKE OUR PROJECT, IN ALL HONESTY, THAT MUCH MORE SUCCESSFUL. SO WE'RE TAKING CUES FROM WHAT WE'VE SEEN SOLD IN THE AREA AND WHAT'S CURRENTLY ON THE MARKET IN THE AREA, AND WE KNOW WHAT OUR PRICE POINT THAT WOULD BE NEED TO BE WITHIN. SO IF WE REACH TO A POINT WHERE THIS GARDEN DOES NOT FIT THAT MARKET PRICE POINT AND WHAT WE SEE SELLING IN THAT AREA, THEN WE WOULD HAVE TO PROBABLY FORFEIT THAT PARTICULAR IDEA, BECAUSE IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO DO AS MUCH WITH WHAT WE HAVE WITHIN A CERTAIN PRICE POINT, NOT TO COME HERE AND BUILD SOMETHING. AND THEN WITH A RIDICULOUS PRICE POINT THAT'S NOT FEASIBLE FOR THE AREA. YEAH, BUT THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SHOWING ME. WHAT? SOMETHING THAT'S NOT FEASIBLE FINANCIALLY. BUT NEVER MIND. THAT'S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE. BUT OKAY. THAT'S ALL.

THAT'S THE END OF MY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU. COMMISSIONERS, ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? YES, I DO HAVE A QUESTION. I HAVE MANY STORIES. WILL THIS COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN, PLEASE, I WAS WONDERING ABOUT YOU SAID THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. HAS THAT BEEN INITIATED YET OR THE. ARE YOU HAS THIS FEASIBILITY STUDY BEEN INITIATED? THE WHICH FEASIBILITY STUDY ARE YOU REFERRING TO? I THOUGHT YOU SAID THAT YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN ANYTHING BACK IN TERMS OF WHAT YOU CAN DO ON THE PROPERTY. I THOUGHT YOU MENTIONED THE FEASIBILITY STUDY. OH, WELL, ONE THING WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT IS WE KEEP AN EYE ON SALES IN THE, IN THE AREA, PARTICULARLY WITHIN THE ZIP CODE. AND WE LOOK AT WHAT THE SELLING PRICE VERSUS THE ASKING PRICE. SO WE KNOW WHAT KIND OF RANGE WE NEED TO BE WITH THE NEW BUILD. ONE OF THE STRUGGLES THAT WE HAVE WITH, PARTICULARLY WITH CENTER PARK, IS THERE'S NOT A WHOLE LOT OF NEW BUILDS IN THE AREA.

MOST NEW BUILDS THAT ARE IN THE CITY OF EASTPOINTE COME FROM THE STONE GATE COMMUNITY, WHICH IS TOWNHOMES, WHICH IS NOT NECESSARILY A COMPARABLE PRODUCT. SO WHILE WE CAN BUILD IN A LITTLE BIT, WE STILL KNOW THAT OVER A CERTAIN PRICE POINT THAT IT WOULD NOT BE RETHINK, BUT IT WOULD NOT BE FEASIBLE GIVEN THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT. RIGHT. SO FOR INSTANCE, THE FED DROPPED RATES THE OTHER DAY, MANY OF YOU MAY, MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW MORTGAGE RATES WENT UP AS A RESULT OF THAT. SO WE STILL NEED TO BE AFFORDABLE. SO WE'RE STILL TAKING ALL THOSE MACRO ITEMS, ALL THOSE ITEMS INTO CONDITION AS WE CONTINUE TO GET THROUGH THE PLANNING PROCESS OF THE ACTUAL BILL. OKAY. AND IS THERE A REQUIREMENT FOR THIS AREA BECAUSE OF HOW FEW HOUSES THAT ARE BEING PRESENTED THAT THERE IS LIKE A AFFORDABLE, HOUSE, LIKE AFFORDABLE UNITS SET ASIDE? I KNOW IT'S NOT A LOT OF UNITS THAT WE CAN DO THAT WITH, BUT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED IN THIS SITUATION? THAT'S NOT A CONSIDERATION FOR DETERMINING ZONING, OKAY. AND IT DOESN'T IT DOESN'T APPEAR THAT THE REQUEST NOR DOES THE CODE CONTEMPLATE THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE AFFORDABLE HOUSING COMPONENT. OKAY. JUST WONDERING ABOUT THAT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER STILES. YES. HI. GOOD EVENING. GOING BACK TO

[01:35:03]

SO I JUST WAS WONDERING WHY YOU'RE CHOOSING TO KIND OF GO WITH MORE OF THIS, LIKE MODERN, SLEEK, KIND OF NON CRAFTSMAN OR NON ARTS AND CRAFTS STYLE RELATED BUNGALOW TYPE ARCHITECTURE. WELL, ONE OF THE PROPERTY, ONE OF THE STRUCTURES HAS A CONTEMPORARY STRUCTURE.

THE OTHER ONE THAT HAS A MORE MODERN DOES FIT THE PROFILE WITH THE PROPERTY WEST OF US ON WEST TAYLOR. IT'S A WIDE AND IT'S A IT'S WHITE AND MAROON ON BOTH SIDES. IT'S RIGHT DOWN THE STREET MAYBE WITHIN 0.3 MILES. SO IT'S BEFORE YOU GET TO THE PARK. IT'S ON WEST TAYLOR HEADED TOWARDS THE PARK. BUT WE'RE ALSO AWARE ONCE WE GET TO THE PLANNING AND PERMIT SECTION, THAT WE WILL HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS THAT CONFORMS OR AT LEAST FITS INTO THE AREA. YES. THANK YOU. I VISITED THAT AREA TWICE ALREADY TO LOOK AT IT, AND THAT CORNER PROPERTY DOESN'T SEEM TO BE BIG ENOUGH FOR THREE BUILDINGS THIS SIZE. SO I WAS JUST WONDERING, YOU KNOW WHAT? HOW DO YOU MAKE THESE THREE BUILDINGS FIT ON THAT LOT? I'M NOT CERTAIN IF IT'S WITHIN OUR PACKAGE, BUT WE HAVE OUR SITE PLAN, AND THOSE BUILDINGS FIT WITHIN THE BUILDABLE AREA ONLY REQUEST. WE ASK FOR THE SIDE SETBACK TO GET US THERE, BUT THIS DOES FIT IN THAT AREA. SO IN ORDER IN ORDER TO DO THIS, YOU NEED THE FOUR FOOT SIDE SETBACKS. NOT TO. SO WE WOULD LIKE THAT FOR LIKE ESTHETIC PURPOSES FOR LIKE THE LAWN ON THE SIDE NOT TO BUILD. SO IT'S NOT FOR THE BUILDING STRUCTURE, IT'S FOR THE COSMETICS, YOU KNOW, TO PUT A NICE LAWN ALONG THE SIDE, NOT FOR THE BUILDING AT ALL. WE HAVE ENOUGH SQUARE FOOT SQUARE FOOTAGE ON THE PROPERTY NOW FOR THE BUILDING, FOR THE STRUCTURES WE JUST WOULD LIKE. YOU HAVE ENOUGH. TO BUILD THREE HOUSES OF THIS SIZE WITH TWO FAMILIES. YES. ON THAT.

ON THAT LITTLE SPACE. YES, SIR. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? ANY OTHER QUESTIONS FROM COMMISSIONERS? I HAVE JUST ONE OTHER QUESTION. COMMISSIONER STYLES YOU REFERENCED IN THE RESPONSE TO MY QUESTION. A WHITE BUILDING IS NO, NO, NOT THAT ONE. NO. THAT'S RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM US, ACROSS THE STREET. YOU NEED TO GO FURTHER TOWARDS THE PARK. OKAY. LET ME SEE IF I CAN TELL YOU. DO YOU HAVE PICTURES OF

[01:40:04]

OH YOU KNOW IT OKAY. MADAM CHAIR, I THINK STILL YOU STILL COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN. BUT I'M GOING TO. YOU WANT TO FINISH WITH HER, YOU CAN GO TO SOMEONE ELSE AND I'LL WAIT FOR THEM TO PULL IT UP. OKAY? YEAH. KEEP GOING. I THINK YOU JUST ASKED. I THINK YOU JUST TURN AROUND, OKAY? AND THAT'S WHY I SAID I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD THIS MAP IS. IT'S GOING TO BE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE. BUT I DON'T KNOW. NO, NOT ON THAT SIDE OF THE STREET. YEAH. I DON'T THINK GOOGLE MAPS HAS THAT UP AS YET. YEAH. YEAH, I KNOW THEY DON'T HAVE IT UP YET. OKAY. YEAH. THANK YOU.

YEAH. ALL RIGHT. JUST FOUND THE ADDRESS. WE FOUND IT. THE ADDRESS IS 1835. 1835 TAYLOR AVENUE. CAN YOU PULL UP ON ZILLOW IF YOU PUT IT ON THE BROWSER? YEAH, PUT IT IN GOOGLE MAPS. SORRY. IT'S 1835 1835 TAYLOR AVENUE. IF YOU GO TO THE FOR SALE. ZILLOW. THERE'S A TAYLOR TAYLOR. THIS ONE SAYS TAYLOR. TAYLOR. 1835. TAYLOR OR TAYLOR, NOT JUST TAYLOR. OKAY, LET'S SEE THE REALTOR. ZILLOW. CLICK ON THIS RIGHT HERE. LET ME SEE SOMETHING BECAUSE I HAVE IT RIGHT HERE. YEP. THAT'S IT RIGHT THERE. AND DO WE KNOW WHEN THIS PROPERTY WAS ERECTED.

WHEN WAS THIS BUILT. THIS IS THE LAST PROBABLY LAST YEAR. LAST YEAR OR THIS YEAR. OKAY. I JUST KIND OF JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IF, IF THIS PROPERTY WAS BUILT AND, AND POSSIBLY, YOU KNOW, APPROVED THROUGH A DIFFERENT BODY THAN OURS LONG AGO OR WHEN, WHEN WE WEREN'T HERE. I JUST WANT TO EXPRESS CONCERN ABOUT THE ARCHITECTURE STYLE MATCHING THAT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. SO I THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT HAVE A ONE OFF WITH THIS EXAMPLE, BUT THAT, YOU KNOW, SHOULDN'T SET A PRECEDENCE FOR THE REST OF THE THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I JUST WANT TO VOICE THAT CONCERN. SURE. OKAY.

YEAH. THANK YOU. COMMISSION STYLES. COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN. OKAY. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

MY CONCERN IS THAT THE INFORMATION IN THE POSTCARD WENT OUT TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO REACT AND ATTEND THE OFFICIAL MEETING, WHICH IS THE SCHISM. IS THIS IS THAT CORRECT? SO ALTHOUGH THE MEETING YOU YOU WENT ON FACEBOOK, I BELIEVE THAT THE SYSTEM IS THE OFFICIAL MEETING THAT HAS TO OCCUR IN ORDER. IS THAT WHAT OKAY, SO AND SO I WAS WONDERING IF THERE WAS WHAT WOULD BE WHAT WOULD BE OUR OPTIONS. IF IT WAS SENT OUT OR

[01:45:02]

DIRECTOR SMITH. SO IT APPEARS THAT THE CCIM PROCESS REQUIRES THE MAILING OF THE POSTCARDS.

IT DOES NOT. AND I'LL JUST PULL IT UP. LOOK LIKE IT REQUIRES SOME TYPE OF VERIFICATION THAT THERE HAS BEEN RECEIPT. GIVE ME ONE SECOND. YES, I THOUGHT SO, BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE.

SO TEN DASH 2220 4.7. REQUIRES THAT ALL APPLICATIONS REGARDING REZONING, ZONING, MODIFICATIONS, VARIANCES, SPECIAL USE PERMIT SUBDIVISIONS AND OTHER RELATED LAND USE PETITIONS MUST COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE COMMUNITY ZONING INFORMATION MEETING AS SET OUT IN ARTICLE L.

SO IF YOU GO TO ARTICLE L, THE NOTIFICATION SAYS ONCE AN APPLICATION IS PLACED ON THE CCIM AGENDA, ALL NOTICES SHALL BE POSTMARKED THE SAME DAY. THE APPLICATION IS SCHEDULED FOR THE CCIM TO ALLOW REASONABLE TIME FOR THE RECEIPT OF THE NOTICES PRIOR TO THE MEETING DATE. SO THAT'S AN INQUIRY TO ENSURE THAT THE POSTMARKING WAS DONE THE SAME DAY OF THE APPLICATION. ALL WRITTEN AND EMAIL NOTICES SHALL STATE THE LOCATION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, THE NATURE OF THE APPLICATION, AND THE DATE, TIME AND LOCATION OF THE CCIM. THE NOTICES SHALL PROVIDE THE ANTICIPATED DATES THAT THE APPLICATION WILL COME BEFORE YOUR BOARD, THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL. WRITTEN NOTICE IN THE FORM OF A POSTCARD MAILER SHALL BE MAILED TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 500FT RADIUS OF THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION SEEKING A REZONING, WHICH THIS IS A SPECIAL USE PERMIT A VARIANCE TO OR FROM BP ONE ONE AND ONE TWO. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS. NOTIFICATION SHALL BE GIVEN TO ALL PROPERTY OWNERS WITHIN 1000FT. I THINK HE'S THE 500FT. OF THE PROPERTY OWNER WHO APPEAR ON THE CURRENT TAX RECORDS, AS RETRIEVED BY CITY'S GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS. SO THAT'S GIS, A COPY OF THE MAILING LIST AND A POSTMARK COPY OF THE MAILER SHALL THEN BE FORWARDED TO THE PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF. AND THEN CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS SHOULD ALSO BE GIVEN A COPY OF THE POSTCARD MAILER. AND. THE RESIDENTS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

COMMUNITY ASSOCIATIONS SHALL BE ALSO GIVEN A COPY OF THE POSTCARD MAILER. SO THOSE ARE THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE EVENT, HOWEVER, AN APPLICATION IS NOT PRESENTED AT CCIM AS SCHEDULED DUE TO THE APPLICANT'S FAILURE TO ATTEND OR DUE TO A REQUEST FOR RESCHEDULING, IT SHALL BE THE APPLICANT'S DUTIES TO REPEAT THE NOTIFICATION PROCESS SET OUT. OKAY, IT DOESN'T HAVE.

OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. I KNOW THAT DOES NOT COMPORT WITH WHAT YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR. YOU MIGHT. YOU MIGHT. I THINK IT DOES. I THINK IT SAYS THAT THEY THEY DID WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO. THEY DID THEIR DUE DILIGENCE, BUT THEY DID NOT GET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF PEOPLE.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS. THAT'S WHAT I NEEDED. AND THANK YOU. THANK YOU. YES. YEAH. SO I JUST YOU KNOW, THERE OBVIOUSLY IS NO, NO, NOTHING ABOUT MAKING SURE RESIDENTS RECEIVE IT, YOU KNOW, FIVE DAYS, THREE DAYS PRIOR TO THE MEETING. AND I KNOW YOU GUYS DON'T CONTROL THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. LORD KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE UP TO. AND BUT YEAH, THAT IS YOU KNOW, IT.

IT IS WHAT IT IS. IT HAPPENED. NEED TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO PREVENT OTHER APPLICANTS FROM

[01:50:06]

YES, THOSE DID GO OUT. CORRECT. I MEAN, YOU, YOU YOU DID HAVE ACCESS. SO YOU COULD HAVE PRINTED THE LABELS AND DONE IT LIKE VERY QUICKLY. YEAH. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH, COMMISSIONER.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION FOR STAFF. AND THAT IS INSOFAR AS THE CITY IS CONCERNED. DO WE HAVE ANYTHING IN PLACE FOR CONFORMITY TO EXISTING NEIGHBORHOODS? I LOVE THE THE PROJECT, BY THE WAY. IT'S IT'S IT'S A BEAUTIFUL A RENDITION. GOTCHA. THAT'S AS FAR AS CONFORMITY AND. AS FAR AS CONFORMITY AND ARCHITECTURE. THE CITY DOES HAVE AN ENFIELD ORDINANCE PROCESS THAT IS RESERVED FOR SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, AND IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MULTIFAMILY. BUT THAT DOESN'T PRECLUDE THE THE PLANNING COMMISSION FOR ASKING FOR ARCHITECTURAL CONFORMITY. SO HOW DO WE ADDRESS ARCHITECTURAL CONFORMITY OR CAN WE. DESIGN.

CORRECT. GOT YOU, GOT YOU. THANK YOU. SO TO THE APPLICANTS, WHAT IS THE SIZE OF THE LOT AGAIN I KNOW YOU HAVE IT IN HERE, BUT JUST TELL ME IF YOU DON'T MIND. THE SIZE OF THE LOT IS ZERO POINT ROUGHLY 0.4 ACRES. IT'S THE ENTIRE SITE. YEAH, JUST LESS THAN HALF AN ACRE. SO IT'S LIKE A QUARTER OF AN ACRE. LESS THAN HALF AN ACRE FOR SEVEN? YEAH, CLOSE TO HALF AN ACRE AND A QUARTER. OKAY. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO, COMMISSIONERS, DO YOU WANT TO ADD ANY CONDITIONS TO THIS AND AT WHAT ORDER? HOW OR WHAT IS THE ORDER OF ADDING THE CONDITIONS. SO IF EVERYONE IS DONE DISCUSSING. I THINK THIS IS A QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD.

NO WE HAVEN'T WE HAVEN'T. YEAH WE DID. YEAH WE DID. WE DID CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING. THERE WAS NO ONE HERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH I THINK. STAFF REPORT. OKAY I'M SORRY. JUST TO GET THE STAFF'S RECOMMENDATION. YES. OKAY. STAFF. IN REFERENCE TO PROPERTY LOCATED AT 1784 WAS TAYLOR AVENUE. CASE NUMBER P2025 R'S.

THANK YOU. COMMISSIONER, HAVE YOU FINISHED? THANK YOU SO MUCH. SO THE STYLE THAT'S NOT SOLD IS IT. BATTENS. BOARD AND BAT. YEAH IT'S BOARD AND BATS RIGHT. YEAH. BOARD AND BATTEN. YEAH.

YOU HAVE THE FLAT CEMENT BOARD OF THE FRONT FACADE DOING THE FULL VERTICAL LENGTH. AND THEN YOU TAKE A BAT THAT GOES OVER THE SEAM BETWEEN THE FLAT BOARDS. AND IT PROVIDES THAT ARCHITECTURAL RELIEF AND COVERS THE SEAM. AND ON PART OF OUR HOUSE IS BOARD AND BAT. IT HAS THAT. IT LOOKS VERY NICE, VERY ELEGANT. ANOTHER PART IS THE ORIGINAL CEMENT FIBERBOARD THAT WAS USED IN AS A PLANK SIDING. SO AND THE HOUSE I CURRENTLY OCCUPY, YOU KNOW, IS BUILT AROUND 19. THERE'S THERE SEEMS TO BE A DISCREPANCY. ONE RECORD SAYS 1950, ANOTHER SAYS 1930.

SO, YOU KNOW, THERE REALLY IS A LOT TO SAY ABOUT RETAINING THE CHARACTER OF A NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND THAT IS, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS BEEN A BIG CONCERN WITH A LOT OF THE REDEVELOPMENT GOING ON IS IS IT GOING TO CHANGE THE CHARACTER OF A NEIGHBORHOOD? AND THIS COULD FIT IN BEAUTIFULLY. AND USE THE CURRENT ARCHITECTURAL. MODELS OF THE CURRENT HOMES, BOTH HISTORIC AND MORE RECENT, AND IT WILL FIT IN VERY NICELY. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO I JUST WANT TO KNOW, DO YOU HAVE ANY SUGGESTED WORDINGS FOR STAFF ON THE CONDITION? BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT, I WANT TO GO AND RECOGNIZE DIRECTOR SMITH. STAFF HAS A RECOMMENDATION FOR CONDITION. YES, SIR. I GUESS IT WOULD BE CONDITION NUMBER FIVE WOULD BE. THAT STAFF RECOMMENDS THAT THE APPLICANT FOLLOWS THE CITY OF EAST POINT'S ENFIELD. PROCEDURES. AND REQUIREMENTS.

AND THAT PROCESS REQUIRES FOR THEM TO GET COMMUNITY INPUT. IT REQUIRES AN ADDITIONAL MEETING FOR THE INPUT, AND IT REQUIRES AN INVENTORY FROM 13 PROPERTIES WITHIN THE VICINITY OF THE PROJECT. THERE'S A LISTING OF CRITERIA POINTS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE FOLLOWED IN REFERENCE TO THE ARCHITECTURE OF THE HOMES AND ABIDING BY WHAT IS ALREADY IN PLACE IN THE VICINITY. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. LET ME JUST ADD, I WAS GOING TO SAY THAT WHILE THAT CONDITION ADDRESSES THE ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND IT BRINGS IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE COUNT OF THE 13 PROPERTIES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD, THAT CONDITION SHOULD NOT ALLOW FOR THE COUNT TO START WITH THE ONES THAT ARE ATTACHED TO THEIR DEVELOPMENT. SO JUST BE PARTICULAR IN YOUR VERBIAGE

[02:05:04]

AMENDMENT THAT WE REQUIRE TO. LET REQUIRE TO CONFORM TO THE ENFIELD DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, PROVIDED THAT THE. COUNT FOR THE HOUSES NOT INCLUDE THEIR UNITS? YES, I THINK THAT IS VERY ACCEPTABLE BECAUSE IT ALSO GIVES THE NEIGHBORS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO TO WEIGH IN. AND THAT. DID WE GET A SECOND ON THAT? I THINK COMMISSIONER STYLES THAT CONDITION AS WELL.

OKAY. SO NOW YOU NEED A VOTE ON THE CONDITION TO BE ADDED TO THE ORIGINAL WAS MOVED BY COMMISSIONER CHAPMAN. SO ALL IN FAVOR OF ADDING THAT CONDITION OF THE THE DEVELOPMENT ALL EYES COMMISSIONERS. ALL IN FAVOR OF ADDING THAT CONDITION, THE ENFIELD CONDITION TO THE EXISTING CONDITIONS CAN LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I. I OPPOSE THIS HEARING. NONE. THE CONDITION WILL BE ADDED FOR THE ENFIELD, WHICH WILL GIVE THE COMMUNITY AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME BACK OUT AND HEAR THIS CASE. SO NOW YOU'RE MOTION AND SECOND ON THE FLOOR INCLUDES CONDITIONS, RIGHT? YES. AND SO THAT IS ALL OF THE ONES THAT STAFF PRESENTED PLUS THE ADDED.

IF WE JUST ADD THE ENFIELD REQUIREMENT ON THE. CONDITIONS. SO NOW WE'RE VOTING ON THE FIVE CONDITIONS. WHAT DO I HEAR COMMISSIONERS. YES. APPROVE. MAKE A MOTION TO APPROVE THE CONDITIONS OKAY. SO I. I, I LET IT BE KNOWN BY THE WORD I FOR THOSE THAT ARE IN FAVOR OF THE FIVE CONDITIONS, I DO I HEAR ANY OPPOSED? HEARING NONE. THE FIVE CONDITIONS ARE APPROVED AND ACCEPTED. THE PROJECT WITH THE FIVE CONDITIONS. THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE JUST HOLDING ON TO NOW. YOUR RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL. YES. SO THAT CONCLUDES EVERYTHING. YES, YES.

THANK YOU. NOW I HAVE A QUESTION. WHAT DOES THE FIVE CONDITIONS DO IN GETTING THE INFORMATION OUT TO THE COMMUNITY DO FOR THE PROJECT? DO THEY HAVE TO COME BACK BEFORE US? NO. SO THE INFILL DEVELOPMENT IS THE ONLY PORTION OF THOSE CONDITIONS THAT IS GOING TO REQUIRE COMMUNITY INPUT. I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW THAT WORKS. I CAN LOOK IT UP REALLY QUICKLY, BUT I'M SURE PLANNING AND ZONING WILL HELP THEM GET THROUGH THAT PROCESS BEFORE IT'S DONE CORRECTLY. IF IT'S OKAY WITH THE COMMISSIONERS AND THE APPLICANT, UNLESS YOU HAVE AN OBJECTION, CAN YOU JUST SEND THAT TO US? YEAH. DEVELOPMENT. YEAH.

ANYTHING THAT WE NEED TO KNOW IN ADDITION TO THAT, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE WE HAVE ANY MORE WORK. WE JUST NEED TO GO. I MEAN, WE THEY WILL HAVE TO GO BEFORE COUNCIL. NO, COMMISSIONER. I MEAN, DIRECTOR SMITH, DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD? BECAUSE I WANT TO BE CLEAR.

THE ENFIELD PROCESS, ONCE THEY GO TO COUNCIL AND IF THE PROJECT IS APPROVED BY COUNCIL, ONCE THEY COME FOR PERMITS, IT WILL TRIGGER THEM TO GO THROUGH THE ENFIELD PROCESS. AS WE REVIEW THE PERMIT FOR BUILDING. SO WE IT WOULD BE TRIGGERED AT THAT POINT. OKAY. SO JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS BODY HAS NO MORE WORK TO DO ON THAT. YOU'RE DONE. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. THAT CONCLUDES THE PROJECT AND THE COMING BEFORE US. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING ALL OF OUR QUESTIONS AND ENTERTAINING US IN THE TIME IT TOOK TO GET TO
