PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING REZONING REQUEST FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO R-3 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT WITH A CONCURRENT VARIANCE. IS THERE A SECOND? IT'S BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY SECONDED THAT WE OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN, AND I WILL TURN IT OVER TO STAFF TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING WITH THE OVERVIEW. PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. I WILL HAVE OUR DIRECTOR OF COMMUNITY PLANNING GIVE US WALK US THROUGH THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR AND FELLOW COUNCIL, KIMBERLY SMITH, PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR. AND WE ALSO HAVE WITH US MR. LEE KELLY, ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT, IN REFERENCE TO THIS ITEM.

PROPERTY LOCATED AT ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE, CASE NUMBER 202500308. THE APPLICANT IS LETICIA JOHNSON. THE PROPERTY IS APPROXIMATELY 0.73 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES. THE APPLICANT REQUESTED A REZONING FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY TO R-3 MULTIFAMILY DEVELOPMENT, WITH A CONCURRENT VARIANCE FROM SECTION TEN DASH 2065 E SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 6FT TO 3FT.

THE PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY ZONED R ONE SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL. THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION FOR THIS PROPERTY IS A NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. TYPICAL ZONING DISTRICTS ALLOWED IN THIS AREA FROM THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP IS II, WHICH IS OUR EDUCATIONAL, INSTITUTIONAL ZONING DISTRICT, R-3, WHICH IS OUR MULTIFAMILY AND C-1 MIXED USE AND OUR COMMERCIAL. REDEVELOPMENT, OUR ZONING DISTRICT. THIS ALLOWS FOR A VARIETY OF COMMERCIAL PROFESSIONAL OFFICES AND HIGH DENSITY HOUSING. AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON OUR FUTURE LAND USE MAP, THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED ON THE CORNER OF HEADLAND AND RIDGECREST. AS FAR AS DENSITY IS CONCERNED, THE PROPERTY HAS A TOTAL LAND AREA OF APPROXIMATELY 0.73 PLUS OR MINUS ACRES, WHICH IS ALMOST AN ACRE ACCORDING TO THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP, 6 TO 8 DWELLING UNITS ARE ALLOWED PER ACRE. HOWEVER, AS STATED, THE PROPERTY IS NOT QUITE AN ACRE, SO IN THIS EXAMPLE, THE DENSITY ALLOWED WOULD BE 4.38 TO 5.84 UNITS PER ACRE, OR SIX UNITS PER ACRE. STAFF RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THIS APPLICATION. HOWEVER, THE PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL THE NEXT. THAT'S THE END OF OUR PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. IS THE APPLICANT PRESENT? YES. YOU CAN COME FORWARD. YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OPEN UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. COMMENTS I MY NAME IS LATEEF JOHNSON. GO AHEAD. OKAY. I WAS UNDER IMPRESSION. I WAS PRESENTING TODAY. JUST SPEAKING. YOU CAN PRESENT OKAY PRESENT SPEAK THIS PART OF YOUR PRESENTATION OR COMMENTS.

OKAY. ONCE AGAIN HI. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS LATEEF JOHNSON. I'M THE PROPERTY OWNER AND APPLICANT OF ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE. TODAY I WANT TO DISCUSS THE REZONING REQUEST FOR ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY TO R-3 MULTIFAMILY. THE ORIGINAL REQUEST WAS FOR A SITE VARIANCE SETBACK, BUT I AM TONIGHT REQUESTING A OFFICIAL WITHDRAWAL DUE TO BEING ABLE TO ABIDE BY ALL SETBACKS REQUIRED TO MOVE FORWARD WITH APPROVAL.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. SO VISUAL FOR THE PROPERTY. THE IDEA IS TRANSFORMING AN UNDERUTILIZED CORNER LOT INTO VIBRANT MULTIFAMILY HOUSING. AGAIN THE PROPERTY IS ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE.

CURRENT ZONING IS R-1 SINGLE FAMILY REQUESTED ZONING IS R-3 MULTIFAMILY. THE PROPOSED USES

[00:15:05]

MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL HOUSING AND IT'S OWNER OCCUPIED. SO THAT MEANS THAT I'LL BE LIVING ON THE PREMISES AS WELL. THE NUMBER OF UNITS PROPOSED IS EIGHT UNITS WITH UNIT SIZES OF ABOUT 1800 SQUARE FEET, ABOUT A LITTLE OVER 14,000FT■!S. BUILDIG EACH UNIT FOUR BEDROOM, THREE FULL BATHROOMS. PARKING GARAGE ONE FOUR CAR PARKING PAD. AND JUST JUST A FRONT VISUAL OF THE RENDERING. AND THAT'S THE REAR WITH THE PARKING PAD AND THE GARAGE. TONIGHT, I KIND OF WANT TO GO OVER THE STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND COMMUNITY AND PLANNING COMMISSION CONCERNS. SO STAFF PLANNING RECOMMENDED R-3 ZONING APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS SUPPORTING A SIX UNIT LAYOUT, NO VARIANCE. CONFIRMING THAT THE PROPOSAL MEETS THE INTENT OF THE R-3 DISTRICT COMPATIBLE TO SURROUNDING ZONING REQUESTED AND ALIGNS WITH THE CITY FUTURE LAND MAP USE AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN PLANNING COMMISSION HAD A FEW CONCERNS. CONCERNS NUMBER ONE WAS APPROVAL WOULD BE CONSIDERED AS SPOT ZONING CONCERN. NUMBER TWO WAS THE EIGHT UNIT MULTIFAMILY PROPOSAL MAY NOT BE FULLY ALIGNED WITH FUTURE LAND USE PLAN. AND WE HAD A MEETING WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THEIR MAIN CONCERN AND ONLY CONCERN WAS TRAFFIC INCREASE IN THE AREA. SO TO ADDRESS CONCERN NUMBER ONE, REZONING JUSTIFICATION. AS YOU CAN SEE AT THE BOTTOM, THERE'S A GIS MAP OF THE CITY. AND IN THE RED SQUARE THERE'S ZERO HAD BEEN DRIVE THE SUBJECT PROPERTY R-1 SINGLE FAMILY IS IN YELLOW, R3 IS IN MULTIFAMILY IN ORANGE, AND THE PINK IS COMMERCIAL. SO CURRENTLY THE ZONING IS R-1 SINGLE FAMILY. IT ALLOWS FOR ONLY ONE HOME ON A 0.731 ACRE LOT. THIS LOT IS ABOUT 3 TO 4 TIMES LARGER THAN THE SURROUNDING R-1 PARCELS. IT PREVENTS EFFICIENT USE OF LAND, RESULTING IN SIGNIFICANT UNDERUTILIZATION, Y, R1 R3 IS APPROPRIATE. IT ALIGNS WITH THE SURROUNDING MIXED LAND PATTERN SHOWN ON THE MAP ON THE LEFT. R3 AND C-1 DISTRICTS LOCATIONS. EXCUSE ME. R3 C1 DISTRICTS COEXIST WITHIN THE SAME BLOCK. THE SITE'S CORNER LOCATION AND LARGE LOT SIZE MAKES IT A CANDIDATE FOR MEDIUM DENSITY DENSITY INFILL HOUSING. WHY IS THIS NOT SPOT ZONING? THIS PARCEL IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO AN EXISTING R-3 ZONING AND SHARES A BOUNDARY WITH C-1. IT CREATES COMPATIBILITY WITH DIRECTLY ADJACENT R3 DISTRICT AND REZONING DOES NOT ISOLATE A NEW DISTRICT. IT EXTENDS AN EXISTING R3 PATTERN AND ADDS A TRADITIONAL BUFFER BETWEEN R1 AND C-1 LOTS. VARIANCE WITHDRAWAL REQUEST. THE ORIGINAL VARIANCE REQUEST INCLUDED A REDUCTION FROM A SIX FOOT YARD SETBACK TO A THREE FOOT SIDE YARD SETBACK. DUE TO THE SHAPE CONSTRAINTS OF THE LOT. AFTER REVIEWING STAFF'S FEEDBACK, REEVALUATING THE SURVEY OF THE LAND. FINDING THE PUBLIC, THE BUILDING LAYOUT AND THE EIGHT UNIT DESIGN HAS BEEN ADJUSTED TO FULLY MEET ALL REQUIRED SETBACKS, LOT COVERAGE AND DIMENSIONAL STANDARDS.

UNDER R-3 ZONING. I'M REQUESTING AN OFFICIAL VARIANCE WITHDRAWAL BECAUSE THE PROJECT PROCEEDS WITH THE FULL CODE COMPLIANCE IN EIGHT UNITS. AND HERE'S THE SITE PLAN WITH ALL MEETING ALL FOUR SETBACKS 35 YARD FRONT YARD, TWO SIDE YARD, SIX YARD SETBACKS AND 25 FOOT YARD REAR. CONCERN. NUMBER 218 UNIT MULTIFAMILY PROPOSAL ALIGNS WITH FUTURE LAND USE. AS YOU CAN SEE TO THE RIGHT, THIS IS THE SOURCES FROM THE EASTPOINT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN.

PAGE 81 PRETTY MUCH TALKS ABOUT THE FUTURE LAND DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS. THIS PROJECT DIRECTLY IMPLEMENTS EASTPOINT NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER GOALS. MULTIFAMILY HOUSING 68 UNITS PER ACRE. I'M PROPOSING EIGHT UNITS. ZONING DISTRICT R3. I'M PROPOSING R3 REVITALIZATION OF ANY FIELD AND UNDERUTILIZED PARCELS RIGHT NOW IS UNDERUTILIZED PARCEL AND INFILL LOT, WHICH WE'RE LOOKING TO REVITALIZE. AND ALSO REAL PARKING SITE DESIGNS. CONCERN NUMBER TWO CONTINUED WHY AN EIGHT UNIT PROPOSAL VERSUS SIX UNITS. SO TO THE RIGHT IS THE

[00:20:03]

FINGER FROM THE CITY OF EASTPOINT ZONING ORDINANCE PRETTY MUCH DESCRIBING THE AMENITY PACKAGES AND THE DENSITY BONUS AVAILABLE FOR MULTIFAMILY AND CONDOMINIUM PROJECTS. SO IT EXPLICITLY STATES R3 CODE. MULTIFAMILY, TOWNHOME AND CONDOMINIUM PROJECTS REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF TWO AMENITIES. SO ON THE LOT, A LOT OF THE 6 TO 8 UNITS PER ACRE, THE LOT IS CURRENTLY 0.731 ACRES, SO THE CALCULATIONS BASED ON UP TO EIGHT UNITS TIMES THE 6.7.31 ACRES GIVE YOU ABOUT 5.85 UNITS, WHICH IS THE TOTAL OF SIX MAX UNITS PER THE R3 CODE ALLOWS UP TO A 30% BONUS. THAT MEANS AN ADDITIONAL NINE PLUS AMENITIES.

SO IF THE BASE UNITS IS 58.85 UNITS TIMES THE DENSITY BONUS, THAT GIVES YOU AN ADDITIONAL 1.76 ADDITIONAL UNITS. AND IF YOU ADD THOSE UP TOGETHER, THAT GIVES YOU 7.6 UNITS, WHICH IS EQUAL TO EIGHT MAX UNITS. SO IN CONCLUSION, EIGHT UNITS ARE IN WITH THE ALLOWABLE DENSITY FOR A 0.731 ACRE LOT. WHEN THE 30% BONUS IS APPLIED AND REQUIRED AMENITIES ARE PROVIDED. NOW, I WANTED TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF AMENITIES QUALIFYING FOR THE 30% BONUS. IT'S NOT LIMITED TO THESE, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXAMPLES WHICH IS ENHANCED LANDSCAPING, BENCHES AND SEATING, ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING, BIKE RACKS, GAZEBO, HAMMOCK, WALKING PATH, COMMUNITY MAIL AND ARCHITECTURAL FENCING AND DECORATIVE ENTRY. AND LASTLY, THE TRAFFIC CONCERN FROM THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO YOUR RIGHT. THIS IS A FIGURE THE THE THRESHOLD OF TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY. SO FROM THE CITY OF EASTPOINT REZONING USE PERMIT AND CONCURRENT APPLICATION.

THIS IS THE TRAFFIC THRESHOLD PER CITY STANDARDS. SO TRAFFIC STUDY IS ONLY REQUIRED FOR ONLY 700 PLUS MULTIFAMILY UNITS. MY PROPOSAL IS EIGHT UNITS, WHICH IS LESS THAN 1.2% OF THE THRESHOLD. THE IMPACT IS NEGLIGIBLE TO DAILY TRAFFIC INCREASE, FAR BELOW THRESHOLD STUDY. BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO BE TOO DISMISSIVE OF THE CONCERN. SO I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY ANYWAY. THE TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY WAS CONDUCTED AND MAILED OUT TO ALL NEARBY RESIDENTS IN COUNCIL AND STAFF. IN CONCLUSION, THE TRAFFIC STUDY CAME TO BE ABOUT 60 TRIPS PER DAY, 6 TO 8 VEHICLES PER HOUR, WHICH IS LESS THAN ONE VEHICLE, EIGHT EVERY 8 TO 10 MINUTES. TRAFFIC LOAD WOULD BE A LESS THAN 1% OF ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE CAPACITY. EXCUSE ME, HELEN DRIVE CAPACITY AND APPROXIMATELY 10,000 VEHICLES PER DAY PER CORRIDOR. VALIUM.

SO THE LEVEL OF SERVICE WOULD BE A B CLASSIFICATION, WHICH MEANS FREE FLOWING TRAFFIC WITH NEGLIGIBLE DELAY. IN CONCLUSION, THE PROPOSED EIGHT UNIT COMMUNITY WOULD GENERATE LESS THAN 1% OF EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUME. THE ROADWAY WOULD CONTINUE OPERATING AT A LEVEL OF SERVICE AB, MEANING SMOOTH, FREE FLOWING CONDITIONS. NO ROADWAY OR SIGNAL IMPROVEMENTS ARE NECESSARY. AND THIS IS JUST A RENDERING SHOWING THE CONSISTENCY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERED DESIGN GOALS. TO YOUR RIGHT, YOU HAVE THE CITY OF EASTPOINT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PAGE 81. WE'RE JUST SHOWING THE DESIGN GOALS WITH FRONT STREET SIDEWALK BUILDING AND REAR SIDEWALK. EXCUSE ME, REAR PARKING OR SIDE PARKING. AND TO THE LEFT IS THE PROPOSED EIGHT UNIT, MIMICKING THAT DESIGN AS WELL. NEXT IS JUST THE ELEVATION OF THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE DESIGN OF EACH UNIT. AND THIS IS THE FINAL LAYOUT OR THE FLOOR PLAN FOR BEDROOM THREE FULL BATHROOM ONE CAR GARAGE. LIVING. BENEFITS TO CITY OF EASTPOINT. THE PROJECT DELIVERS TIMELESS ARCHITECTURAL VALUE, ALIGNS WITH THE CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND MEETS ALL OUR THREE DIMENSIONAL AND SETBACK STANDARDS, HENCE WHY THE VARIANCE IS WITHDRAWN. IT PROVIDES EIGHT HIGH QUALITY BRAND NEW FAMILY SIZED HOMES, CREATE OPTIONS FOR FAMILIES WHO NEED MORE SPACE FOUR BEDROOM, THREE BATH AND PARKING SUPPORTING WALKABLE AREA WITH COMMUNITY FEEL AND REDEVELOPS AND REVITALIZES UNDERUTILIZED CORNER LOT AND PRODUCTIVE

[00:25:06]

HOUSING. IT ALSO EXPANDS THE BASE FOR LOCAL BUSINESSES. EXCUSE ME, WHICH STRENGTHENS THE LOCAL ECONOMY. AND JUST TO RECAP, STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND COMMUNITY CITY CITY PLANNING CONCERNS. STAFF RECOMMENDED SIX UNITS WITH NO VARIANCE. THE UPDATED LAYOUT FULLY MEETS ALL THREE R3 REQUIREMENTS, WHICH RESOLVE STAFF'S PREVIOUS SIX UNIT RECOMMENDATION THAT WAS BASED ON THE PREVIOUS VARIANCE REQUEST AND NO DENSITY BONUS. BONUS. THE PROJECT NOW ACCOMMODATES EIGHT UNITS WITH NO VARIANCE, MAINTAINS QUALITY, AND INCLUDES NINE PLUS AMENITIES, QUALIFYING FOR 30% DENSITY. BONUS CONCERN NUMBER ONE SPOT ZONING. THE SITE IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT FROM AN EXISTING R-3 ZONE EXTENDING, NOT OSCILLATE, OSCILLATING THE R3 PATTERN, WHICH CREATES A LOGICAL TRANSITION BETWEEN RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL AREAS. AND CONCERN NUMBER TWO FUTURE USE PLAN ASSIGNMENT. THIS PROJECT IS CONSISTENT WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER GOALS. SUPPORTS INFILL HOUSING 6 TO 8 UNITS PER ACRE, REVITALIZING UNDERUSED LAND, AND INCLUDES NINE PLUS AMENITIES, QUALIFYING FOR A 30% BONUS, WHICH EQUALS EIGHT UNITS TOTAL. AND LASTLY, THE PROJECT IS EIGHT UNITS TOTAL, WHICH IS ONE POINT LESS THAN 1.2% OF THE TRAFFIC STUDY THRESHOLD PER CITY REQUIREMENTS. A TRAFFIC STUDY WAS CONDUCTED PROACTIVELY TO ENSURE THAT THE TRANSPARENCY AND CONFIRMATION OF MINIMAL IMPACT IT CAN. IT CONFIRMED IMPACT WAS LESS THAN 1%. I AM RESPECTFULLY REQUESTING REZONING FROM R1 TO R3, WHICH IS CONSISTENT TRANSITION AND EFFICIENT USE VARIANT SIDE YARD SETBACK, WITHDRAWAL. AND ALSO THIS PROJECT WILL ADD A LONG TERM VALUE TO THE CITY OF EAST POINT WHILE RESPECTING CITY STANDARDS AND COMMUNITY CHARACTER. ONE LAST THING I WANTED TO SAY TO CLOSE, THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE THIS VISION. I WANT TO SAY I AM NOT A CORPORATION. I'M A REGULAR PERSON, A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY WHO HAS PUT MY OWN RESOURCES TOGETHER TO PUT THIS, TO BUY, TO PURCHASE THIS LAND. MY INTENTION IS SIMPLE AND HONEST, TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE I CAN LIVE AND WHERE OTHER FAMILIES CAN LIVE SAFELY, BEAUTIFULLY AND WITH DIGNITY. I'VE FOLLOWED EVERY REQUIREMENT PLACED BEFORE ME. I'VE LISTENED, I'VE ADJUSTED, AND I'VE SHOWN FLEXIBILITY AND GIVEN ADEQUATE COMMUNICATION AT EVERY SINGLE STEP. THIS PROJECT DOES NOT TAKE ANYTHING AWAY FROM THE COMMUNITY. IT ADDS TO ITS VALUE.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THE CONCERNS COME FROM A REAL PLACE OF FEAR OF CHANGE, AND I RESPECT AND EMPATHIZE WITH THAT DEEPLY. CHANGE IS NEVER EASY, BUT CHANGES HOW EVERY SINGLE HOME IN THIS COMMUNITY CAME TO EXIST. EVERY HOUSE HERE TODAY WAS ONCE AN EMPTY PARCEL, JUST LIKE MINES, AND SOMEONE ONE DAY WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD. THE FAMILIES WHO LIVE HERE TODAY NOW HAVE A HOME BECAUSE OF THE OPPORTUNITY WAS GRANTED AND ALL, I'M ASKING FOR THAT SAME OPPORTUNITY. THANK YOU. MADAM CITY CLERK. HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT? 36 SECONDS. OKAY, MA'AM, YOU CAN HAVE A SEAT RIGHT THERE. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS APPLICATION? ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE REQUEST FOR REZONING PROPERTY LOCATED AT ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT TO R-3 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. ANYONE WHO LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR. OKAY, YOU CAN RESET THE CLOCK. ANYONE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, PLEASE COME FORWARD SO YOU CAN JUST COME FORWARD ONE AT A TIME. ANYONE WHO LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE REZONING OF PROPERTY LOCATED ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT TO R-3 MULTI-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT. DID YOU RESET THE 15 MINUTES? OKAY, YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND STATE YOUR NAME. GOOD EVENING, MAYOR HOLIDAY INGRAM AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. MY NAME IS ANISA ABERNATHY. I LIVE AT 2223 RIDGECREST LANE. AND TONIGHT I SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THE RESIDENTS OF RIDGECREST LANE, ELLENWOOD AND HEADLAND DRIVE REGARDING CASE NUMBER 2025 R2 DASH 00308. THE REZONING APPLICATION FOR ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16TH. YOUR PLANNING AND ZONING

[00:30:03]

COMMISSION UNANIMOUSLY VOTED TO RECOMMEND DENIAL OF THIS APPLICATION AND I URGE YOU TONIGHT TO UPHOLD THE RECOMMENDATION. YOUR APPOINTED COMMISSIONERS CAREFULLY REVIEWED THIS APPLICANT'S PROPOSAL AND FOUND IT FAILED ON EVERY SUBSTANTIAL GROUND. FIRST, IT VIOLATES YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THE PLAN DESIGNATES THIS AREA AS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL, WITH A MAXIMUM DENSITY OF FOUR UNITS PER ACRE. HER ORIGINAL PROPOSAL SAID. EIGHT UNITS, DOUBLE YOUR PLAN STANDARD AND WAS JUST CHANGED WHEN SHE HEARD PUSHBACK. SECOND, THE DEVELOPER CLAIMS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER JUSTIFICATION. BUT YOUR PLAN REQUIRES NEIGHBORHOOD CENTERS TO HAVE RETAIL SERVICES AND PUBLIC AMENITIES ON MAJOR CORRIDORS. THIS WOODED CORNER HAS NONE OF THAT. IT WILL JUST HAVE EIGHT RENTAL TOWNHOMES THAT WOULD BE RENTED AND BENEFIT THE OWNER. THIRD, THIS IS SPOT ZONING. EVERY PROPERTY ON RIDGECREST LANE AND HEADLAND DRIVE UNTIL THE COMMERCIAL INTERSECTION OF SUCH HEADLAND AND WILLOW IS R1 REZONING THIS I'M SORRY ONE PARTIAL TO R3 SINGLES IT OUT FOR SPECIAL TREATMENT BENEFITING THE ONE DEVELOPER AT OUR NEIGHBORHOODS EXPENSE. FOURTH, THE VARIANCE REQUEST FAILS LEGAL STANDARDS.

THEY WANT TO CUT SIDEWALKS FROM 6FT TO 3FT AT A 50% REDUCTION, NOT BECAUSE OF UNIQUE PROPERTY HARDSHIP, BECAUSE EIGHT UNITS WOULDN'T FIT THE PROPER SETBACKS THAT WAS SELF CREATED, NOT GROUNDS FOR VARIANCE. FIFTH, THIS PROVIDES ZERO PUBLIC BENEFIT. OUR COMMUNITY RECEIVES NO SERVICE, NO AMENITIES, NOTHING. DEVELOPER RECEIVES DOUBLE DENSITY AND REDUCED SETBACKS FROM MAXIMUM RENTAL PROPERTY. SIX THERE'S BEEN NO TRAFFIC STUDY DESPITE WHICH WAS CLAIMED TODAY. NO NEIGHBORS OF MINE HAVE RECEIVED ANY INFORMATION VIA MAIL, CALL OR EMAIL. AND FINALLY, OVERTURNING YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION'S UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION SETS A DANGEROUS PRECEDENT. IT TELLS EVERY DEVELOPER, WHETHER THEY'RE PROFESSIONAL OR PART OF THE COMMUNITY. THAT ANALYSIS DOES NOT MATTER, THAT ALL PROTECTIONS ARE NEGOTIABLE, AND COMPREHENSIVE PLANS ARE JUST SUGGESTION. YOUR PLANNING COMMISSION DID THEIR JOB. THEY ANALYZED THIS APPLICATION AGAINST YOUR ADOPTED STANDARDS AND UNANIMOUSLY FOUND IT FAILS.

I, ANISA ABERNATHY, ALONG WITH MY NEIGHBORS, RESPECTFULLY ASK THAT YOU UPHOLD THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION, DENYING THE R1 TO R3 REZONING, DENY ANY SITE SETBACK VARIANCE AND PROTECT R-1 RESIDENTIAL CHARACTER AND YOUR COMPREHENSIVE PLAN INTEGRITY. YOU ALL HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO STAND WITH YOUR COMMISSIONERS, YOUR COMMUNITY MEMBERS, AND UPHOLD SOUND PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND PROTECT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD. WE URGE YOU TO EXERCISE IT AND I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. MISS ABERNATHY, COULD YOU JUST STATE YOUR NAME FOR THE I MEAN, YOUR ADDRESS STATED YOUR NAME, BUT NOT YOUR ADDRESS. OUR RULES REQUIRE ADDRESS. OKAY. ANISA ABERNATHY. NO, YOU STATED YOUR NAME. I NEED YOUR ADDRESS. OH 2223 RIDGECREST LANE. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION CAN COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. GOOD EVENING, ERNEST D PITMAN. I HAD NOT THOUGHT TO COME UP HERE UNTIL I HEARD RIDGECREST LANE. THE WAY THE LATE HAROLD WILLIAMS LIVED ON RIDGECREST LANE. I GOT TO KNOW THAT NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE MY OWN. HE WOULD TURN OVER IN HIS GRAVE IF NO ONE FROM THE CITY WHO HAS BEEN HERE ANYTIME IN OUR COMMUNITIES, DID NOT STAND AND RISE TO DEFEAT THIS PROPOSED EIGHT UNIT, IT COULD BE ONE UNIT WITH EIGHT DIFFERENT FLATS IN IT. WE DON'T NEED DEVELOPMENT ON EVERY CORNER BECAUSE THERE ARE TREES THERE.

RIDGECREST LANE, THE FIRST STREET DOWN FROM THE LOW, AND HITLER. YOU HAVE THE LAUNDRY, THEN YOU HAVE THE BREAK AND THEN YOU HAVE RIDGECREST. THOSE ARE HOMES OVER THERE. SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, LEGACY HOMES, RANCH AND SPLIT LEVELS. THEY HAVE BEAUTIFUL YARDS AND WE DON'T NEED APARTMENTS POPPING UP ON THE CORNERS BECAUSE I SEE THIS ONE HERE. NEXT, YOU'LL BE

[00:35:05]

TRYING TO THROW ONE BEHIND MY HOUSE. ON BEING HERE. ROAD BETWEEN DODSON DRIVE AND MCCOY PLACE. WAS NEVER THOUGHT TO QUESTION THE WHAT'S BEHIND THOSE TREES. THAT'S A CREEK.

DID YOU KNOW THAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THIS WHEN WE COME UP HERE, BUT LET THE RESIDENTS START HAVING PROBLEMS WITH IT BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE CITY. YOU DON'T KNOW THE WATERWAYS. YOU HAVEN'T STUDIED, AND YOU COME AND THE RESIDENTS COME UP HERE WHO HAVE MADE INVESTMENTS ON RIDGECREST LANE. THEY HAVE BOUGHT HOMES OVER THERE, INHERITED HOMES OVER THERE.

THEY DON'T NEED EIGHT APARTMENTS WITH NO PLAY AREA, NO AREA FOR THE CHILDREN OR EVEN FOR WHOEVER THEY'RE TO TURN AROUND. AND THAT'S A CUL DE SAC UP THERE. DID YOU KNOW THAT? YOU GO UP THERE, YOU GO TURN COMING RIGHT ON BACK OUT. AND HAMBLEN DRIVE. NO, ON THE CORNER. NO. EVEN IF IT DID FIT THE COMPREHENSION PLAN, PEOPLE WHO BUY PROPERTY AND MAKE INVESTMENTS, THE LARGEST ONE THAT THEY WILL EVER MAKE IN THEIR LIVES WHEN THEY BUY A HOME AND HAVE AND STAY THERE UNTIL THEY'RE WELL UP IN AGE, SUCH AS THE QUEEN HERE 79. I DON'T WANT APARTMENTS TWO, THREE OR 4 OR 5 SITTING BEHIND ME. WHEN I GET READY TO MOVE OUT OF MY HOUSE, I'M GOING TO A PLACE WHERE TEN OF THEM, THAT'S WHERE I EXPECT TO BE. AND THERE'S NO LITTLE BOY THAT CAN RUN TO THE STORE FOR YOU THERE. RIGHT UP THE STREET. DIAGONAL CROSSING THAT LAND THERE. BEEN THERE FOR AGES. NOBODY WANTS TO BUY IT AND DEVELOP IT BECAUSE THERE'S A CREEK THERE. AND WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT THAT? WITH THESE HOMES? BE ON THE STORMWATER LINE. STORMWATER PIPES. AND THAT I SAW TONIGHT THAT DID NOT HAVE ONE OUT THERE ON COMMERCE DRIVE. NOW WHEN WE SIT HERE, YOU ALL SIT HERE AND YOU HEAR PEOPLE COME UP HERE TALKING ABOUT THEIR HOMES. THESE HOMES MEAN SOMETHING TO THEM. THEY ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE BEEN HERE, STAYED THERE AND CONTINUE TO STAY REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE GET OR DO NOT GET FROM THE CITY BY WAY OF AMENITIES. AND I HEARD THEM TALK ABOUT AMENITIES, AND AMENITIES FIRST CAME UP BECAUSE OF THAT DEVELOPMENT THERE THAT THEY WANT TO PUT BEHIND DOLLAR GENERAL ON HEADLAND DRIVE. AND THAT'S WHEN WE STARTED TRADING OFF WITH AMENITIES. WE'VE BEEN HERE A LONG TIME AND WE INTEND TO STAY HERE A LONG TIME. WE DO NOT OWE ANYBODY A HOME WHO DOES NOT ALREADY HAVE ONE ON THE STREET ON WHICH WE LIVE. THAT DOES NOT SAY WE SHOULD BE, SHOULDN'T BE WELCOMING TO THOSE WHO WANT TO COME. BUT YOU DON'T COME AND FORCE YOUR LIFESTYLE ON US. WE BLEND, WE COMPROMISE. BUT WE SHOULD NOT BEND ON WHAT YOU HAVE LIVED AND WORKED AND PAID FOR 3040 YEARS. RIDGE CREST IS NOT THE PLACE FOR THIS. I LOOKED UP HERE. IT DOESN'T BLEND INTO THE HOMES OVER THERE AND THOSE ARE NOT OUR. HOMES OVER THERE. IT'S NOT CHANTY AT ALL. AND HAROLD WILLIAMS, HE WOULD BE UP HERE WITH A CREW AROUND HIM BECAUSE I'D BE THE FIRST ONE. WE'D HAVE BEEN PICKETING ALL DAY UP AND DOWN OUT HERE. SO I ASK YOU, COUNCIL MEMBERS, VOTE NO BECAUSE IT IS NOT RIGHT. SHE SAID NO ONE HAD GOTTEN IN TOUCH WITH THEM.

THERE MAY NOT BE A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION TO 500FT. 750FT OF SOMEBODY SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH. AND THEY TALK ABOUT THE RESIDENTS THERE. THEY'RE ALL LIKE, I AM. SOME DON'T DRIVE, SOME HAVE NEVER DRIVEN. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY DON'T HAVE A PLACE AND A VALUE HERE IN EASTPOINT. THANK YOU. MADAM CITY CLERK. HOW MUCH TIME IS LEFT? FIVE MINUTES, 32 SECONDS. AND SO HOW MANY MORE PEOPLE WANT TO SPEAK? I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION. AND SO, MA'AM, YOU CAN COME FORWARD AND GIVE YOUR COMMENTS.

[00:40:01]

COUNCIL AT SOME POINT WILL NEED TO ENTERTAIN A MOTION TO INCREASE THE TIME ALLOTTED.

HELLO. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS MYRA OVIATT. MY ADDRESS IS 2171 ELLENWOOD DRIVE. I'M AN 18 YEAR RESIDENT OF EASTPOINT. I'VE BEEN IN THIS HOME FOR 18 YEARS. WE ARE AT THE INTERSECTION OF RED RIDGECREST. IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, THESE ARE TWO DEAD END STREETS. WE HAVE CUL DE SACS AT THE END OF OUR STREETS. SO IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING THAT MY NEIGHBOR ANISSA ABERNATHY MENTIONED, THE TRAFFIC IS A LARGE CONCERN BECAUSE ANYTIME THERE'S AN IMPACT TO HEADLAND AND DALLAS, WE FEEL IT ACUTELY. IT CUTS THROUGH OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IMMEDIATELY AND YOU'LL SEE AN UPTICK IN TRAFFIC. AND PER THE ILLUSTRATIONS THERE, THAT TRAFFIC FOR THESE HOMES WOULD DUMP OUT ONTO RIDGECREST AS WELL. SO THAT'S A CONCERN. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE SORT OF SWISS CHEESING OF OUR CODES. YOU ALL HAVE SET THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. THIS IS ASKING FOR BASICALLY AN OUTLIER TO THAT COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND FOR A SPOT VARIANCE, WHICH GOES AGAINST WHAT YOU ALL HAVE SET INTO MOTION AND WHAT HAS EXISTED AS FAR AS THE R-1 RESIDENTIAL ZONING. WE WERE NOT CONSULTED REGARDING THE TRAFFIC STUDY. I'M NOT CLEAR WHO WAS, SO THAT'S CONFUSING TO ME. I ALSO HAVE A NEIGHBOR WITH ME WHO LIVES NEXT DOOR. NONE OF US HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS TRAFFIC, AND IN FACT, WE BROUGHT IT UP AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING. SO I'LL KEEP IT SHORT. PLEASE, PLEASE GO WITH THE RECOMMENDATION OF YOUR APPOINTED PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD. THEY HEARD OUR CONCERNS AT THAT MEETING. THEY ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS THAT, YOU KNOW, FULLY ALIGNED WITH THEIR CONFUSION AND UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THINGS ARE WRITTEN IN YOUR CODE. SO PLEASE, PLEASE DENY THE VARIANCE, DENY THE SETBACKS, AND DENY THE UPHOLD THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN THAT YOU'VE ADOPTED. THANK YOU. THE NEXT PERSON IN OPPOSITION MAY COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS SABRINA KING. I RESIDE AT 2331 RIDGECREST LANE IN EASTPOINT. I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT THERE FOR 40 PLUS YEARS AND I AM OPPOSED OF THIS PROJECT AGAIN. I DID NOT RECEIVE ANY INFORMATION REGARDING THE TRAFFIC SURVEY THAT WAS DONE, AND I JUST LIKE THAT TO BE ON THE RECORD OF MY DENIAL OF THIS REQUEST. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO COME FORWARD? MADAM CITY CLERK, WHAT'S THE TIME? THREE MINUTES, 42 SECONDS. AND THE ONLY REASON WHY I'M ASKING FOR TIME IS NOT TO SAY THAT EVERYONE CAN'T SPEAK. I'LL JUST NEED TO MAKE A MOTION WHEN THE TIME RUNS OUT TO ALLOW FOR ADDITIONAL ASK COUNCIL TO MAKE A MOTION FOR ADDITIONAL TIME.

GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS JACKIE GEORGE AND I LIVE AT 2357 RIDGECREST LANE, EAST POINT, GEORGIA AND I'VE BEEN A RESIDENT IN EASTPOINT FOR 40 PLUS YEARS. AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, AS MISS PITTMAN WAS MENTIONING, PEOPLE THAT LIVE ON THE STREET ARE FORMER CHIEF OF POLICE LIVED ON OUR STREET ALSO. SO MY MY ONLY I'LL MAKE IT VERY SHORT AND BRIEF. PLEASE UPHOLD WHAT YOU SAID IN DENIAL OF THIS PROJECT. AND LET ME ALSO SAY THAT I NEVER RECEIVED INFORMATION. I WAS NOT EVEN CONTACTED ANYTHING ABOUT A SURVEY ON TRAFFIC. I KNOW SHE KEEP MENTIONING. SHE MENTIONED THAT TRAFFIC WOULDN'T BE THAT HIGH. NO ONE CAN CONTROL TRAFFIC. YOU CAN'T TELL SOMEONE WHEN THEY CAN GO DOWN THE STREET AND WHEN THEY CANNOT GO DOWN THE STREET. SO I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU'RE GOING TO CONTROL IF THIS IS A UNIT OF EIGHT. AND I THINK YOU HAVE 40 SPACES FOR PARKING. SO IF YOU LOOK AT THOSE 40 SPACES, PLUS THE PERSON THAT OWNED THE THE OWN THE APARTMENT, THEN THAT'S 48. SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT 50 PEOPLE MORE GOING DOWN, UP AND DOWN OUR STREET, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE GOING TO GET OUT OUR DRIVEWAYS AND EVERYTHING LIKE THAT? SO I SAY, PLEASE DENY THIS AND I UNDERSTAND WE WILL WELCOME YOU IF YOU WANT TO MOVE TO OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, BUT BUILD YOU A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND LIVE IN THE HOUSE. ANYONE ELSE IN OPPOSITION COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. GOOD EVENING. MY NAME IS ELAINE FRAZIER. I LIVE AT 2345 RIDGECREST LANE AND I HAVE BEEN A RESIDENT ON RIDGECREST LANE FOR ABOUT 40 YEARS. WHAT WE AS RESIDENTS CAN APPRECIATE ABOUT OUR STREET IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD IS THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF CRIME, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF DISTURBANCE, WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF NOISE. AND WE WOULD LIKE FOR OUR ATMOSPHERE TO REMAIN THE SAME. BUT TO ADD AN ENTRANCE FROM RIDGECREST TO A MULTI TO A

[00:45:05]

DEVELOPMENT WOULD BRING A LOT OF TRAFFIC. WE HAVE ELDER PEOPLE AND YOUNGER PEOPLE WHO WALK OUR STREETS DAILY. WE DON'T NEED THE ADDITION OF FAST RUNNING CARS AND A LOT OF TRAFFIC. SO FOR THESE REASONS FROM ME, I AM AGAINST A REDISTRICTING REZONING FROM 1 TO 3. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST FOR REZONING? WE HAVE. GOOD AFTERNOON, BEVERLY AND GRANITE, 2311 DILLARD DRIVE. DENY, DENY, DENY THIS SO-CALLED TRAFFIC STUDY. I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT TOOK PLACE. THIS DOESN'T AFFECT ME DIRECTLY, BUT IT'S GOING TO AFFECT ME AND THE PEOPLE ON RIDGECREST. HOME OWNERS BEEN THERE FOR YEARS. THE YOUNG LADY SAID THAT SHE HAD DONE ALL OF HER REQUIREMENT. WELL, ONE OF THE REQUIREMENTS WOULD BE TO NOTIFY THE RESIDENTS OF THIS COMMUNITY AND BEING THE PRESIDENT OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION, WHOEVER SAID THAT WE DON'T EXIST, WE DO. WE DON'T WANT IT. WE DON'T NEED IT. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY EVERYWHERE THERE'S A PIECE OF DIRT. EAST POINT WANTS TO BUILD SOME APARTMENTS OR SOME TOWNHOUSES. AND WHAT'S REALLY BEING SAID, IT WOULD BE A ROOMING HOUSE. THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT WOULD BE. AND WE ARE TIRED OF BEING DUMPED ON IN WARD EIGHT WITH WHATEVER YOU ALL THINK YOU WANT TO PUT THERE. YOU THINK YOU CAN.

WE AS HOMEOWNERS HAVE HAD ENOUGH. OUR CITY MANAGER TOLD US AT THE MEETING DOWN AT SHELTON. AND ON BY WHAT YOU GOT TO DO AND HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO REZONE. I THINK YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN. WE ARE TIRED. WE ARE EXHAUSTED. THE YOUNG LADY SAID SHE MET THE REQUIREMENT. I WOULD ASK HER TO REACH OUT TO THE RESIDENTS, AND SHE WOULD REALIZE AND KNOW THAT'S NOT NEEDED THERE. ALL THAT'S GOING TO DO IS JUST MAKE A CONGESTION OR WE DON'T KNOW WHO WILL BE COMING IN THERE, AND THAT'S GOING TO BE NOTHING BUT A ROOMING HOUSE. SHE KNOW IT AND YOU ALL KNOW IT. SO WE ARE ASKING YOU ALL AS MAYOR AND COUNCIL TO PLEASE DENY, DENY, DENY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION? ANY SO COUNCIL, MA'AM, YOU CAN COME FORWARD. BUT I'M. I'LL HAVE TO ASK FOR A MOTION BEFORE YOU SPEAK. THE RULES GIVE US 15 MINUTES FOR EACH SIDE. BUT BY MAJORITY VOTE, THE COUNCIL MAY INCREASE THE TOTAL TIME FOR SPEAKERS, PROVIDED THAT EACH SIDE IS GIVEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME. SO AT THIS TIME, A MOTION TO EXTEND THE TIME FOR SPEAKERS TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION AND AGAINST WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. MADAM MAYOR, SO MOVED. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY SECONDED. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. MADAM CITY CLERK, INSTEAD OF DOING A COUNTDOWN CLOCK, I NEED YOU TO COUNT UP.

SO I NEED YOU, BECAUSE THE AMOUNT OF TIME, WHENEVER WE CONCLUDE THE OPPOSITION, WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THAT SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO DECIDE. THAT'S IN FAVOR. HELLO. THANK YOU. HI. MY NAME IS IRMA BELLE, AND I RESIDE AT 2292 RIDGECREST LANE. WE'VE BEEN THERE SINCE 1982, AND. ANAYA PRIMM IS MY NIECE. BUT ANYWAY, WE'VE BEEN THERE FOR A LONG TIME AND WE'VE HAD MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY GOOD YEARS. ALL OUR YEARS HAVE BEEN GOOD THERE. AND WE WANT WE DON'T WANT IT TO CHANGE. AND JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS SAID, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL NEIGHBORHOOD. AND THIS WOULD REALLY CHANGE IT. IT'S IT WOULD NOT BE THE SAME. WE WALK DOWN THE STREETS AND PUSH OUR GRANDCHILDREN NOW, YOU KNOW, DOWN THE STREETS AND WE CAN

[00:50:01]

JUST, YOU KNOW, WE'VE NOT HAD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS THERE. AND THIS RIGHT HERE, IT DOESN'T EVEN FIT. IT REALLY DOESN'T BECAUSE THERE'S HOMES THERE. AND IT JUST DOESN'T FIT. IT'S NOT THE PLACE FOR IT. SO DENY DENY DENY. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME. THERESA NELSON, 1732 NEELY AVENUE. THERE'S BEEN QUITE ELOQUENT REMARKS ALREADY MADE, AND I CERTAINLY COULD NOT ADD TO WHAT HAS BEEN SAID, BECAUSE I CERTAINLY AGREE WITH WHAT THEY'RE SAYING. BUT THERE WERE TWO POINTS THAT I SAW BECAUSE I RECEIVED NOTICE OF THIS REZONING. AND THE FIRST THING THAT STRUCK ME WAS THIS REZONING. IN HER APPLICATION, IT LISTED THEY WOULD HAVE FIVE PARKING SPACES PER UNIT FIVE NOW TO MAKE SENSE. FIVE IS GOING TO REQUIRE A GREAT DEAL MORE CONCRETE AREA FOR CARS TO COME IN AND COME AND GO. IT ALSO OPENS UP THE DOOR FOR POTENTIAL AIRBNB LOCATION, BECAUSE IT'S CENTRALLY LOCATED CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT. IT'S A POPULAR PLACE FOR BECAUSE IT'S SO CLOSE TO THE AIRPORT. SO WITH ALL THE PARKING THAT IS GOING TO BE PROPOSED TO BE THERE, THAT TO ME COULD CREATE A SERIOUS PROBLEM NOT JUST WITH TRAFFIC, BUT JUST WITH THE THEIR EXISTENCE AND QUIET EXISTENCE IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND EVEN MORE SO, I SAW THE SLOPE OF THE LAND AND DRIVING PAST IT. ONE OF THE BIG CONCERNS, OF COURSE, I HAVE IN MY HOUSE, IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD HOUSE, WITH THE OLD MONTESSORI PROPERTY, IS THE SLOPE AND THE DRAINAGE, AND YOU'RE ADDING A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF HARDSCAPES. YOU ARE ALSO REMOVING A PHENOMENAL NUMBER OF TREES. AND I HEARD NOTHING ABOUT TREE SAVE. I'VE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT STORMWATER PROTECTIONS, AND I'VE HEARD NOTHING ABOUT WHY THERE'S A NEED FOR SUCH A LARGE AMOUNT OF PARKING. THIS IS GOING TO CREATE A SERIOUS STORMWATER ISSUE FOR THOSE THAT RESIDENTS BEHIND IT AND BESIDE IT. SO I ASK YOU TO TAKE THAT INTO CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION, THE PUBLIC HEARING ON A REQUEST TO REZONE PROPERTY LOCATED AT ZERO HEADLAND DRIVE FROM R-1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT TO R-3 MULTIFAMILY RESIDENTIAL ZONING DISTRICT WITH THE CONCURRENT VARIANCE. ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION? MADAM CITY CLERK, HOW MUCH TIME? A MINUTE. ONE MINUTE. 57 SECONDS. ONE MINUTE 57. YES. AND YOU SAID THERE WAS 36 SECONDS REMAINING BEFORE WE WENT TO THE OPPOSITION, CORRECT? YES, MA'AM. Y'ALL HELP ME WITH MY QUICK MATH. THAT'S TWO MINUTES AND 33 SECONDS. AND SO, IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR? IF NOT, THIS TIME WILL BE ALLOTTED TO THE APPLICANT FOR REBUTTAL.

ANYONE ELSE WHO WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE REZONING REQUEST? MA'AM? WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN? APPLICANT. JOHNSON. MISS JOHNSON, THERE'S TWO MINUTES AND 33 SECONDS THAT YOU HAVE. IF YOU'D LIKE TO USE FOR REBUTTAL AT THIS TIME OR PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS. MADAM CITY CLERK, YOU CITIZEN. OKAY. I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THE COMMUNICATION.

EACH RESIDENT WAS COMMUNICATED ADEQUATELY ABOUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY. I EVEN SEEN ONE YOUNG LADY WHO CAME UP HERE WHO SAID HE WASN'T NOTIFIED, ACTUALLY HAD THE COMMUNICATION IN HAND AS WELL. I JUST KIND OF WANT TO GO BACK TO WHAT SOMEONE WAS SAYING AS FAR AS IT NOT ABIDING, THIS IS THE ACTUAL MAP AND IN THE AREA, IT'S MULTIPLE COMMUNITY AND COMMERCIAL LOTS.

IN THAT AREA, THERE'S A LARGE R3 REZONING IN THAT AREA, AND THE REST IS SINGLE FAMILY. SO THIS IS NOT SPOT ZONING. THERE'S A MIXTURE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ZONING IN THIS AREA, AND IT WOULD NOT CONTRIBUTE TO ANY DISARRAY IN THE AREA AS WELL. I WANT TO SAY ONCE AGAIN THAT I AM NOT A BUSINESS. I AM NOT A CORPORATION. I'M NOT A GREEDY DEVELOPER. I'M A HARD WORKING CLASS CITIZEN, JUST LIKE EVERYBODY IN THIS ROOM WHO TOOK MY RESOURCES TOGETHER. I LIVED ABOUT FIVE MINUTES AWAY FROM HERE IN COLLEGE PARK, AND I PURCHASED THIS PIECE OF LAND IN HOPES TO BUILD SOMETHING FOR ME AND OTHER FAMILIES AROUND. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, I

[00:55:06]

UNDERSTAND ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD AND THERE IS CHANGE THAT IS HAPPENING AND THAT IS OCCURRING AND PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL. BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE ARE FEARFUL ABOUT ARE BEING REGULATED THROUGH THE MUNICIPALITIES. AS FAR AS STORMWATER RETENTION, I CANNOT BUILD THIS PROPERLY WITHOUT IT BEING PERMITTED THROUGH THE MUNICIPAL PROPERLY.

AS FAR AS. I'M SORRY. I THINK THAT'S IT. I JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THAT. BUT THAT'S THAT'S IT. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. CAN WE GET A MOTION TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING? SO MOVED, MADAM MAYOR. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY SECONDED. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. WE. IF COUNCIL DESIRES TO TAKE ANY ACTION ON THIS ITEM TONIGHT, THERE WILL BE A NEED TO WAIVE THE FIRST READING. MADAM MAYOR, THIS WOULD BE AN ORDINANCE. COUNCIL MEMBER BUTLER, I WOULD LIKE TO OPEN THE FLOOR FOR DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION ON THE ITEM. SO MOVED. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND? IT'S BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY SECONDED. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? AYE. ALL THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. COUNCILMEMBER BUTLER. YES, MA'AM. DO WE HAVE ANYONE FROM PLANNING AND ZONING? MR. JONES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO COME ON? DIRECTOR SMITH WILL. THANK YOU. DIRECTOR SMITH, HOW YOU DOING? GOOD EVENING. THERE'S A QUESTION ABOUT THE NOTIFICATION IN THE COMMUNITY. WAS THERE A MEETING HELD WITH THIS COMMUNITY, WITH THE DEVELOPER, ABOUT WHAT THE DEVELOPER PROPOSES TO DO? YES. THE COMMUNITY ZONING INFORMATION MEETING TOOK PLACE ON SEPTEMBER 16TH VIA ZOOM PLATFORM, AND THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY SIX COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ATTENDANTS THAT SPOKE IN REFERENCE TO THIS CASE. AT THAT TIME. DID THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS EXPRESSED THEIR DISAPPROVAL? YES, THEY DID SO. ALSO TRADITIONALLY TO THE DEVELOPER WOULD GO TO HOMEOWNER ASSOCIATION MEETINGS OR HOMEOWNER CLUB MEETINGS TO DISCUSS IT BEFORE THEY BROUGHT IT TO PLANNING AND ZONING. DO WE KNOW IF THAT OCCURRED? IN THIS CASE, YOU WOULD NEED TO SPEAK WITH THE APPLICANT. I'M UNSURE IF THAT HAPPENED OR NOT.

THE COMMUNITY'S ENGAGEMENT IS HAS BEEN SATISFIED THROUGH THE COMMUNITY'S ZONING INFORMATION MEETING. OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WANT TO SAY THIS, AND THEN I'LL YIELD MY TIME. I RESPECT THE YOUNG LADIES EFFORT AND HER ENTREPRENEURIAL ISM, BUT I DON'T THINK IT'S FAIR THAT THE RESIDENTS HAVE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S CHANGED. I THINK THIS DEVELOPMENT DOES NOT FIT IN THAT AREA. THOSE HOMES ARE LONG STANDING HOMES WITH NICE LOTS.

THOSE PEOPLE KEEP THEIR LAWNS MANICURED AND THEY KEEP THEIR COMMUNITY CLEAN AND SAFE. AND THIS I ADMIRE HER SPIRIT, BUT IT'S JUST THE WRONG PROPERTY. YOU CAN'T PUT TOWNHOMES ADJACENT TO SINGLE FAMILY HOMES THAT SIT ON ALMOST AN ACRE LOT, AND SO I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS REZONING FOR THAT FACT. COUNCILMEMBER. FREELY. THANK YOU. A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU, MISS SMITH. I WAS A LITTLE CONFUSED IN YOUR IN THE BEGINNING OF YOUR PRESENTATION, DID STAFF AND COMMISSION RECOMMEND DENIAL OR WAS IT SPLIT STAFF RECOMMENDED APPROVAL WITH CONDITIONS AND DENIAL OF THE VARIANCE. APPLICATION PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF BOTH ITEMS, BOTH THE REZONING AND THE VARIANCE REQUEST. OKAY. AND CAN YOU JUST QUICKLY GO OVER THE CONDITIONS THAT THE APPROVAL WAS SORT OF HINGED ON FOR STAFF? IN REFERENCE TO STAFF'S RECOMMENDATIONS, THE FIRST CONDITION OF APPROVAL OF THE REZONING, BASED ON THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, WHICH ALLOWS THE USE OF 6 TO 8 UNITS PER ACRE. STAFF RECOMMENDS THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TO CONSIST OF NO MORE THAN SIX DWELLING UNITS, BASED ON THE SITE BEING A LITTLE UNDER AN ACRE OF 0.73

[01:00:06]

PLUS OR MINUS ACRES. CONDITION NUMBER TWO A MINIMUM LANDSCAPE BUFFER WITH EVERGREEN PLANTING SHALL BE INSTALLED ALONG PROPERTY LINES ADJOINING SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. PURSUANT TO CHAPTER SIX LANDSCAPE DEVELOPMENT REQUIREMENTS. CONDITION NUMBER THREE, THE APPLICANT SHALL COMPLETED INFILL PROCESS PURSUANT TO ARTICLE J BUILDING ELEVATIONS AND IT SHALL BE REVIEWED BY PLANNING AND ZONING DIVISION OF THE DEPARTMENT FOR COMPATIBILITY WITH NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER CONDITION NUMBER FOUR. BASED ON THE APPLICANTS SUBMITTED SITE PLAN, STAFF RECOMMENDED DENIAL OF THE VARIANCE TO REDUCE THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 6 TO 3FT, AS IT WOULD NO LONGER BE NEEDED BASED ON CONDITION NUMBER ONE.

AND JUST TO BE CLEAR, FOR CONDITION NUMBER ONE, AND BASED ON THE PROPERTY NOT BEING QUITE AN ACRE, THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT WOULD BE ALLOWED WOULD BE NO MORE THAN SIX. I THINK THE NUMBER THE MAXIMUM NUMBER WAS 5.84 UNITS PER ACRE. SO GIVEN THAT. WHAT HAPPENED? SO GIVEN THAT THE APPLICANT IS STILL INTENDING TO DO EIGHT UNITS. DOES YOUR WOULD YOUR APPROVAL STILL STAND? I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ON THAT POINT. THE APPLICANT ASKED FOR WHAT THE APPLICANT WANTED AFTER STAFF'S ANALYSIS OF THIS, WE STAND ON PROVIDING A CONDITION TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF UNITS AT SIX. OKAY. GOT IT. THANK YOU. AND THEN I HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. HELLO. HELLO. THANKS FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. SO BASED ON THAT QUESTION JUST NOW. SO ARE YOU PREPARED TO DO SIX UNITS OR ARE YOUR YOUR ONLY INTENDING TO STICK WITH THE EIGHT. YEAH I AM PREPARED TO DO SIX UNIT IF IT COMES DOWN TO THAT. THE REASON FOR THE EIGHT WAS DUE TO THE AMENITIES AVAILABLE. SO THERE WERE MINIMUM BASE UNIT BASE TWO AMENITIES. SO IF YOU WERE ABLE TO DO NINE AMENITIES THEN YOU WOULD HAVE TO 30% DENSITY BONUS.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE EIGHT CAME FROM. BUT YES, I AM PREPARED TO DO SIX IF IT THAT'S RECOMMENDED.

YES. AND THEN I'M JUST A LITTLE CONFUSED WITH THE COMMENTS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE. THESE ARE THESE WOULD BE TOWNHOMES FOR PURCHASE OR FOR RENTAL DUE TO THE ECONOMY AT THIS POINT, THE BEST OPTION IS ACTUALLY RENTAL LONG TERM RENTAL. YES. OKAY. WELL. SORRY. CAN I ADD THAT THE REASON BEING BECAUSE TODAY AND AGE, THE AVERAGE HOME ANNUAL PERCENTAGE IS WELL OVER 6%. SO AT THIS TIME I'M NOT LOOKING TO DO AFFORDABLE HOUSING, BUT AFFORDABLE LIVING FOR INDIVIDUALS AT MARKET RATE. AVERAGE HOUSES RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT 3.75 TO $400,000 PER YEAR.

I MEAN, EXCUSE ME, $400,000 PURCHASE. SO THIS IS THE REASON FOR THE RENTAL BECAUSE IT'S NOT AFFORDABLE FOR MOST PEOPLE TO PURCHASE THESE HOMES AT THESE PRICES WITH THESE INTEREST RATES. OKAY. THANK YOU. AND THEN WHAT IS YOUR RATIONALE FOR THE NUMBER OF PARKING SPACES? IT DOES SEEM LIKE A PRETTY HIGH NUMBER. WELL, THE RATIONALE AND IT COULD BE REDUCED, BUT IT'S JUST IT'S JUST FOR COMFORT FOR COMFORT LIVING. IT WAS NOTHING EXTRA FOR ANY AIRBNB USAGE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. IT IS A FOUR BEDROOM, THREE BATHROOM AND IT'S ONLY ONE GARAGE. SO PARKING IS ACTUALLY THAT RECOMMENDED AMOUNT. APARTMENT PARKING WAS TO REDUCE ANY, I GUESS, MAYBE GUESTS OR RESIDENTS TO BE PARKING ACTUALLY ON RIDGECREST LANE TO WITH WITHSTAND PEOPLE PARKING IN THE AREA AND NOT SPILLING OFF INTO THE STREET. THAT'S WHY THAT WAS RECOMMENDED. AND LAST QUESTION, AND I DON'T KNOW, THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE FOR STAFF, BUT I THAT STRETCH OF HEADLAND, THERE ARE NO SIDEWALKS. CORRECT. AND I HAVEN'T DROPPED THERE IS ON THAT STRETCH. YES. THERE IS A SIDEWALK ON HEADLAND DRIVE. YES.

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU. SO FIRST THERE WAS NO MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD, AND THERE IS A NEIGHBORHOOD ASSOCIATION. AND THE PRESIDENT ACTUALLY SPOKE.

[01:05:03]

SECONDLY, THE ENTRANCE IS ONLY ONE ENTRANCE AND THE ENTRANCE WOULD BE ON RIDGECREST LANE, WHICH WOULD BE A HUGE IMPACT ON THAT NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT WILL ALSO CAUSE PROBLEMS IF THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO GET IN BECAUSE IT WOULD IT'S IT WOULD LITERALLY BE ONE WAY IN AND ONE WAY OUT. AND THAT IS ACTUALLY RIGHT IN THE BACK OF ME. AND FORMER MAYOR PITTMAN IS CORRECT.

HAROLD WILLIAMS LIVED ON THAT STREET FOR MANY, MANY YEARS, AND HE WOULD BE RIGHT DOWN HERE SPEAKING OUT ABOUT IT. AND ALSO FOR THAT MANY PARKING SPOTS, YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT. YES, THERE IS A GARAGE, BUT THERE ARE FOUR ADDITIONAL PARKING SPOTS WHICH BE 40, WHICH WOULD ACTUALLY BE 40 PARKING SPACES. WHETHER THERE'S RENTAL AIRBNB, IT WOULD BE. THAT'S NOT A GOOD FIT FOR THAT NEIGHBORHOOD AND FOR THAT LOT. AND WHAT IS ACTUALLY AND ACTUALLY THAT AREA ALSO IS A OVERLAY DISTRICT. AND THERE ARE CERTAIN THINGS IN THAT OVERLAY DISTRICT THAT'S ALLOWED AND NOT ALLOWED. AND WHAT IS R3 IS ACTUALLY ACROSS THE STREET, WHICH IS THE BEHIND THE FAMILY DOLLAR THAT IS R3 ON THAT SIDE IS R1. SO YOU HAVE IN THE BACK OF THAT IS BARBARA J.

REALTORS, THAT LITTLE STORE AND THEN THE PAWN SHOP WHICH IS AT HELEN AND BELOW EVERYTHING ELSE AROUND THAT ON RIDGECREST IS SINGLE FAMILY HOMES, SINGLE FAMILY HOMES. AND WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT BUILDING APARTMENTS FOR RENTAL, THERE'S A HIGH TURNOVER RATE FOR RENTALS, WHICH IS ACTUALLY GOING TO BE A ROOMING HOUSE. AND THERE ARE ILLEGAL ROOMING HOUSES ALREADY. TWO ARE UNDER 2257 AND 2267. AND I TALK ABOUT THIS ALL THE TIME. AND THEN THERE WAS AN ILLEGAL ROOMING HOUSE RIGHT THERE ON RIDGECREST, WHICH CAUSED A PROBLEM FOR THE COMMUNITY. SO THIS WILL CAUSE A EVEN BIGGER PROBLEM. SO AND I HAD THAT CONVERSATION, AND I HAVE TO GO WITH WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY, WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT. THEY HAVE TO LIVE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE TRAFFIC. THEY HAVE TO SEE WHAT'S WHAT IS GOING ON. AND THEY HAVE THEY ARE NOT THEY. AND IT'S NOT THAT PEOPLE DON'T WANT CHANGE. SO TO SAY THAT TO THEM IS KIND OF INSULTING BECAUSE PEOPLE CHANGE EVERY DAY. THINGS CHANGE, BUT PEOPLE KNOW WHAT THEY WANT AND THEY COMMUNITY AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY HOW THEY FEEL IN THEIR COMMUNITY. AND BASICALLY YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUILDING SOMETHING, BUT IF YOU HAVE ALL THIS PARKING, WHERE IS THE AMENITIES GOING TO GO? BECAUSE IF YOU ACTUALLY LOOK AT THE LOT, IT'S NOT THAT BIG BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT VACANT LOT, WHICH IS ON HELEN, AND BELOW THAT IT BACKS UP TO WITH THOSE APARTMENT WAS SO THAT LOT IS NOT REALLY, REALLY THAT THAT HUGE WHERE YOU CAN PUT ALL THIS EDITOR. SO FOR ME, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO GO WITH WHAT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE ON THE STREET SAY. AND, AND FROM WHAT I SEE ON THAT CORNER LOT, IT'S A NO. AND ALSO SO IF YOU MAILED IT OUT TO EVERYONE BECAUSE I DIDN'T GET A NOTICE AND I'M ON THE LOW AND I'M SURE THE PEOPLE ON THE LOW DIDN'T GET IT. BUT BUT FOR SOMEONE WHO LIVES ON NEELY DRIVE, THAT GOT THE NOTICE AND THE RESIDENTS CAME DOWN HERE AND SAID THEY DIDN'T GET DIDN'T GET A NOTICE, THEN SOMETHING IS WRONG. BUT I'LL YIELD TO SEE WHAT ANYONE ELSE HAS TO SAY. COUNCILMEMBER MITCHELL, YES, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. I HAD A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR THE APPLICANT. I DIDN'T CATCH IT QUITE EARLIER. HOW MUCH ARE YOU CHARGING FOR THESE UNITS? FOR RENTAL? YES, IT'D BE MARKET RATE. SO DEPENDING ON THE TIME, SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 1800 AND 2200. OKAY. AND YES, I'M CURIOUS TOO WITH THE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE NEIGHBORS. LOOK LIKE. COULD YOU DESCRIBE THAT PLEASE. SO THE COMMUNICATION WAS THROUGH THE VIRTUAL. WELL. FLIERS WERE SENT OUT TO EACH PERSON WITHIN 500FT OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY. AND WE HAD ATTENDEES VIRTUALLY ONLINE WHERE I PRESENT IT, AND

[01:10:07]

WE HAD FEEDBACK FROM THE COMMUNITY ABOUT TRAFFIC IMPACT, AND ALSO TO BECAUSE. PRETTY MUCH I CONDUCTED A TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY AND MAILED IT OUT TO ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS AS WELL. AND MISS SHARON STROPE ALSO AT THE LAST MINUTE, SHE PULLED ME ASIDE AND TALKED TO ME ABOUT IT BECAUSE SHE RECEIVED IT IN THE MAIL ALSO, AND SHE SAID SHE ALSO RECEIVED CALLS FROM DIFFERENT PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY ASKING FOR MORE FEEDBACK AND MORE CLARIFICATION OF THE. THE TRAFFIC STUDY THAT THAT THEY RECEIVED. ACTUALLY. SO ME AND HER WERE IN EMAILING AND COMMUNICATION. I EXCHANGED COMMUNICATION WITH HER SO WE CAN SET UP ACTUALLY A SECONDARY SLASH THIRD MEETING TO KIND OF COMMUNICATE MORE WITH PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS BEING MAILED OUT TO THEM. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET THAT THIRD MEETING TOGETHER. THANK YOU. AND YOU DID PURCHASE THIS LAND, CORRECT? YES. I'M ON MY MIC NOW.

DID YOU DO ANY RESEARCH ON SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? SINGLE FAMILY HOMES OR ANY OTHER USE OF THE LAND, ANY OTHER USE OF THE LAND SINCE ANY OTHER USE OF THE LAND BESIDES, I MEAN. YEAH, WELL I IT IS. YES. SINGLE FAMILY. YES. SO THESE WOULD, THESE WOULD BE CONSIDERED TOWNHOMES. YES. HAVE YOU LOOKED AT ANY OF THE I GUESS WHEN YOU SAY HOUSING DIVERSITY, I THINK THE BIGGEST ISSUE I'M HEARING IS THEY DON'T WANT TOWNHOME ESTHETICS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. HAVE YOU RESEARCH LIKE A, LIKE A I'M A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. WELL IT'S NOT A TOWNHOME. I, I DID DO SOME RESEARCH. WELL I'M, I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY DON'T WANT TOWNHOMES BUT THESE ARE CONSIDERED SINGLE FAMILY ATTACHED WITH A FOUR BEDROOM THREE BATH. THEY'RE NOT APARTMENTS, YOU KNOW. SO THEY'RE. YEAH THAT'S A DISTINCTION TO BE MADE. SO YES. SO IN OUR DEPARTMENTS. AND SO THE APPLICATION PROCESS, WILL YOU BE IN CHARGE OF DECIDING WHO. SO IS THERE. YES. BECAUSE I WON'T BE LIVING THERE AS WELL.

SO IT'S PERSONAL. AND HOW MUCH WOULD THEY HAVE TO MAKE I GUESS A YEAR. IS THERE A LIMIT OR A MINIMUM. SO TYPICALLY IT'S USUALLY TWO AND A HALF TIMES THE RENT. SO THE ANNUAL HOUSEHOLD PROBABLY WILL BE PROBABLY TOGETHER AT LEAST $50,000. IF YOU WANT A ROUGH ESTIMATE. AND THAT'S PROBABLY AT THE 18 BECAUSE BEFORE YOU SAID 1800 TO 2200. YES. OKAY.

AND THEN I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THANK YOU SO MUCH. OKAY. JUST FOR OUR DIRECTOR, MISS KIM.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. SO I WAS TAKING NOTES EARLIER. SO. THEY WERE SAYING THAT STAFF RECOMMENDED THIS WITH CONDITIONS. AND EVEN DURING HER PRESENTATION, SHE WAS WITHDRAWING HER VARIANCE APPLICATION BECAUSE IT WAS NO LONGER NEEDED. IS THAT BECAUSE HE MET ALL THE CONDITIONS? THE VARIANCE FOR THE SETBACK WOULDN'T BE NEEDED IF SHE ABIDED BY CONDITION NUMBER ONE, WHICH WOULD CAP THE NUMBER OF UNITS AT NO MORE THAN SIX. OKAY, SO I THINK SHE ALSO STATED IN HER PRESENTATION THAT SEASON FOR COMPLIANCE. I GUESS IF SHE MOVES THE CAPACITY DOWN TO WHAT, SIX UNITS? IS THAT WHAT I'M HEARING? THAT WAS THE ONLY THING. THAT'S WHAT THE VARIANCE WAS FOR. SHE DID SAY THAT SHE WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH MULTIPLE THINGS. AND, YOU KNOW, WE JUST HAVE TO STAND BY OUR STAFF REPORT AND THE INFORMATION THAT WE PROVIDED. I WOULD SAY THAT STAFF WOULDN'T AGREE WITH SOME OF THE ITEMS THAT WERE MENTIONED, THAT SHE STATED SHE WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH. I THINK THE EASIEST WAY IS JUST TO STAND ON WHAT WE STATED IN OUR IN OUR I GUESS MY OTHER QUESTION, BECAUSE SHE WENT POINT BY POINT AND KIND OF REBUTTED, I GUESS, WITH THE RECOMMENDATION, OR WOULD THEY SAY IT WAS WRONG? DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING THAT STANDS OUT TO YOU THAT WAS NOT CORRECT? WHEN SHE STATED THAT SHE WAS IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE UNITS PER ACRE, THAT WAS INCORRECT AS FAR

[01:15:01]

AS STAFF IS CONCERNED. AND I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING OFF THE TOP, BUT THERE WERE SOME ITEMS IN THERE. AS STATED, THE EASIEST THING THAT I CAN STATE IS THAT WE STAND BY THE INFORMATION THAT WE PROVIDED IN OUR STAFF ANALYSIS. OKAY. THANK YOU, I YIELD. COUNCILMEMBER.

YES, THANK YOU, MISS MISS SMITH, IF YOU WOULD STAY THERE, PLEASE. IN THE PRESENTATION FROM STAFF, YOU TALKED ABOUT THE DESIGNATION OF THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL. IT IS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER DESIGNATION. YES. IS THAT CORRECT WHAT YOU STATED? YES. OKAY. AND THE REASON THAT I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION IS BECAUSE OUR SPEAKER NUMBER ONE, MISS ABERNATHY, SHE HAD MENTIONED THAT IT WAS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL. IS THAT A PART OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER OR IS THAT ADJACENT TO OR IS IT A DIFFERENT DESIGNATION? IF YOU SEE IN THE CORNER OF THE IF YOU IF YOU'RE ABLE TO SEE ON THE SCREEN, YES. FOR THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION, THERE'S A SMALL TRIANGULAR CORNER THAT IS DESIGNATED AS SUBURBAN RESIDENTIAL IN PINK.

OKAY. AND THAT CLIPS THE SUBJECT PROPERTY ON THE CORNER. YES, YES. SO THERE'S SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE MIX. I HAVE EVERYBODY IN, I THINK I HAVE COUNCIL MEMBER MARTIN ROGERS, COUNCILMEMBER ZIEGLER, COUNCIL MEMBER CUMMINGS. BUT IF EVERYBODY CAN BE AND KEEP GOING ON, SHE'S IN THE COUNCIL MEMBER WILL BE ROUND TWO. ONCE I GO THROUGH EVERYONE. BUT IF YOU ALL CAN DESELECT YOUR LIGHTS BECAUSE IT'S TRIGGERING AND GOING IN AND OUT, GO AHEAD.

COUNCIL MEMBER ATKINS. THANK YOU. SO OVER 90% OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER.

THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY. AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT IT IS WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER, I'M ASSUMING THAT THIS PARTICULAR PARCEL IS A PART OF NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AS A PART OF THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP, BECAUSE OF THE VERY ICONIC HEADLAND AND INTERSECTION, THAT PARTICULAR NODE. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT'S MOST LIKELY ONE OF THE REASONS THAT IT'S DESIGNATED AS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. OKAY. AND I SEE THAT THIS IS AN ENLARGED AREA OF NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. SO WHAT I WAS REALLY ALSO WANTING TO KNOW IS WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL BOUNDARIES OF THIS PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER NODE. DO YOU HAVE A MAP THAT SHOWS THE BOUNDARIES OF NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER? WE'LL DO OUR BEST TO PULL IT UP FOR YOU.

OKAY.

THAT IS ALL THAT'S IN THE BLUE. THAT WOULD BE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER.

YES. OKAY. AND WITH THIS BEING DESIGNATED AS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER IN THE PART OF THE

[01:20:05]

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP, THE PROCESS FOR DEVELOPING THE COMPREHENSIVE OR BUILDING THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE MAP. IT GOES THROUGH THE PUBLIC PROCESS, IT GOES THROUGH PLANNING AND ZONING. AND IT ALSO COMES TO MAYOR AND COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL. IS THAT CORRECT? THAT IS CORRECT. OKAY. AND I'M ASKING THOSE QUESTIONS BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE AND FOR THE RECORD, JUST TO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT ADMINISTRATIVELY DONE, THE ADMINISTRATION JUST SIMPLY DOES NOT SAY THIS IS NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AND IT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE. IT GOES THROUGH A WHOLE PROCESS. YES IT DOES. OKAY. AND IN DECIDING WHAT WAS GOING TO BE NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER AND ENGAGING WITH THE PUBLIC, WAS IT THE COMMERCIAL AREA AT HEADLAND AND THAT HELPED TO CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. AND I SAW THAT OF THE ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER R3 IS ONE OF THOSE. AND IT LOOKS LIKE IF YOU WOULD GO BACK CLOSE TO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY, IT IS DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO PINK. IS THAT WHAT DESIGNATION IS THE LAND DIRECTLY NEXT TO IT? IT'S NOT THIS PARTICULAR MAP, MR. KELLY. IT WAS A DIFFERENT MAP.

I THINK IT WAS THE ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS, THE SURROUNDING PROPERTY FOR THE THE SURROUNDING ZONING. TO THE NORTH, THE PROPERTY IS ZONED C-1 NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL.

AND C-1 TO THE SOUTH OF THE PROPERTY. THE PROPERTY IS ZONED R1 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL.

TO THE EAST OF THE PROPERTY IS ZONED R1 SINGLE FAMILY DWELLING UNIT, AND TO THE WEST IS C TWO CONDITIONAL, WHICH IS OUR COMMERCIAL BUSINESS DISTRICT, SO THE SUBJECT PROPERTY IS SURROUNDED BY COMMERCIAL TO THE NORTH, COMMERCIAL TO THE SOUTH, COMMERCIAL TO THE WEST, AND R-1 TO THE EAST. YES. AND THERE'S A SMALL SLIVER THAT IS CONNECTED TO R3. OKAY. AND CAN YOU POINT THAT OUT, PLEASE? IT'S THE ORANGE. THAT ORANGE? YES, THERE IS R3. OKAY. IS THAT FACES THE LOW. RIGHT. OKAY. AND TOPOGRAPHICALLY, HOW DOES THE LAND SLOPE? I HEARD SOME COMMENTS ABOUT STORMWATER RUNOFF. AND SO I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IN WHICH DIRECTION THE LAND SLOPES. I'M NOT COMPLETELY SURE ABOUT THE SLOPING ANYTHING DEALING WITH LAND DEVELOPMENT ON THE PROPERTY WOULD BE HANDLED AT THE LAND DEVELOPMENT STAGE. AT THE REZONING STAGE, IT'S REALLY NOT TYPICALLY LOOKED INTO AT THAT. AT THIS STAGE, THE DETAILS OF SLOPING AND ALL OF THAT SORT OF THING. SO I DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION AT THIS TIME. OKAY.

THANK YOU. CURB CUTS NOT ON HEADLAND. CORRECT. EXCUSE ME. CUTS CURB CUTS NOT ON HEADLAND.

THE PROPOSAL WAS REJECTED. THE PROPOSAL FOR THE CURB CUT OR ENTRY FOR THIS PROPERTY IS CURRENTLY PROPOSED AT THE RIDGECREST LANE ENTRY. AND CAN YOU GO TO THE SLIDE WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE AMENITIES FOR R3? I THINK THERE THERE THERE'S A CATEGORIES AND IT MAY BE A SIGN PERHAPS DIFFERENT AMENITIES. YOU'RE MAKING REFERENCE TO THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. IT MAY BE THE APPLICANT'S PRESENTATION. I MIGHT BE CONFUSED WITH THAT. IT MIGHT BE THE APPLICANT'S. I THINK THAT THIS IS IT HERE. AND SO I KNOW THAT THE APPLICANT HAD STATED THAT THE PROPERTY OR SHE IS PROPOSING, I BELIEVE, NINE AMENITIES AND I WOULD NEED TO I WOULD WANT TO SEE THAT BUMPED UP AGAINST WHAT THE CATEGORIES ARE. IT SEEMED THAT SOME OF THEM WERE IN THE SAME CATEGORY. IF THEY'RE IN THE SAME CATEGORY, DOES IT COUNT AS AN INDIVIDUAL AMENITY OR A SINGLE AMENITY? I'M NOT SURE IF I UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION. SO FOR INSTANCE, WHERE IT SAYS NUMBER ONE, POOL AND CABANA, IF THEY DO A POOL AND A CABANA, ARE THOSE TWO AMENITIES OR DOES THAT COUNT AS ONE AMENITY? THE POOL AND CABANA THAT WILL BE 1111 SECTION, ONE AMENITY. THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING, THAT IT WAS THAT IT WOULD BE ONE OKAY, BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE CALCULATION THAT THE APPLICANT WAS USING. I WASN'T ABLE TO LOOK AT THE AMENITIES THAT SHE MENTIONED AGAINST THE AMENITIES THAT ARE PART OF THE CODE, BECAUSE I THINK IT COULD GIVE HER MORE DENSITY INCREASES. BUT I THINK

[01:25:04]

THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL AMENITIES THAT ARE IN THE SAME CATEGORY, WHICH SHOULD COUNT AS ONE BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE JUST TELLING ME. OKAY, OKAY. ALL RIGHT. THE OTHER QUESTION I HAD.

IT'S OF THE APPLICANT, ACTUALLY. THANK YOU. MISS JOHNSON, ARE YOU AWARE OF THE DIRECTION IN WHICH THE LAND SLOPES? AND I'M ASKING THAT QUESTION FOR VERY SPECIFIC REASON. STORMWATER ISSUES AND MITIGATING STORMWATER ISSUES ARE A SERIOUS MATTER. AND SO IF THE IF THE LAND IS SLOPING TOWARD PARTICULARLY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES, THEN THAT WOULD BE A CONCERN. IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S RESIDENTIAL ON THE EAST SIDE. SO DO YOU KNOW IN WHICH DIRECTION THE LAND SLOPES? UNFORTUNATELY, NO, I DO NOT. THAT'S SOMETHING FOR PROBABLY CIVIL ENGINEER. BUT WHAT I DO KNOW IS DURING PERMITTING, STORMWATER IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE THE PROPERTY IS MORE THAN A 5000 IMPERVIOUS SECTIONING. SO WITH THAT BEING SAID, IT WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH A RIGOROUS PROCESS TO EVEN BE PERMITTED BECAUSE STORMWATER IS A BIG DEAL BECAUSE IT'S IT'S ABOVE 5000FT■. SO THAT WOULD BE HANDLED AT.

PERMITTING LAND DEVELOPMENT PERMITTING. OKAY. AND I'M MAKING AN ASSUMPTION YOU CAN CORRECT ME, PLEASE, IF YOU NEED TO. IS THIS YOUR FIRST PROJECT? IT IS OKAY. AND THE REASON THAT I ASKED THAT QUESTION IS BECAUSE I DO HAVE A LEVEL OF CONCERN AROUND PROPERTIES WHERE IT'S NOT FEE SIMPLE FOR SALE. AND SO MAKING SURE THAT THE PROPERTY MAINTAINS AN ESTHETIC AND UPKEEP. AND IF IT IS MULTIFAMILY WITH SIX UNITS OR EIGHT UNITS, MAKING SURE THAT THOSE THINGS ARE ALWAYS ADDRESSED, CODE IS ALWAYS ADDRESSED. IT'S A CONCERN IF IT'S PARTICULARLY YOUR FIRST PROJECT, WHICH IS THE REASON I'M ASKING THE QUESTION, I UNDERSTAND THAT. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN. IT IS MY FIRST DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, BUT I HAVE A STRONG TEAM WITH MANY YEARS. I ALSO HAVE MY OWN PROJECT MANAGEMENT. EXPERIENCES AS WELL.

AND BEFORE I ACTUALLY PURCHASED THIS LAND, I HAD A SMALL DUPLEX IN COLLEGE PARK WHERE I LIVED, AND I STARTED MANAGING THAT AS WELL. SO I DO HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MANAGING TENANTS AND ALSO OPERATING SMALL AND MULTIFAMILY. OKAY. THANK YOU. I BELIEVE THAT THOSE ARE ALL THE QUESTIONS THAT I HAVE. OKAY. COUNCIL MEMBER MARTIN ROGERS. YES. AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. AND WHAT I WANT TO SAY IS, AS IT RELATES TO REZONING, I GENERALLY DON'T SUPPORT REZONING REQUESTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY CONFLICT WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION OR THE PLANNING AND ZONING STAFF AND MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY. WITH THAT BEING SAID, I LIVE IN A COMMUNITY HERITAGE PARK AND ACROSS FROM THAT COMMUNITY IS SAVANNAH WALK, AND I'M SURE AT THE TIME, APPROXIMATELY 25 YEARS AGO, WHEN COUNCIL, THE THEN MEMBERS OF COUNCIL, THEY VOTED TO REZONE LIGHT INDUSTRIAL TO RESIDENTIAL, BUT THEY DID NOT HAVE THE FORETHOUGHT TO THINK ABOUT THE AIRPORT OPERATING NOW 24 SEVEN.

THE TRAFFIC THAT IS ON THE TWO LANE ROAD, OR JUST THE IMPACT THAT BEING IN AN INDUSTRIAL SPACE HAS ON THE COMMUNITY OF PEOPLE THAT LIVE THERE. SO I AM ALWAYS JUST LEERY ABOUT GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN WHEN IT COMES, WHEN IT COMES IN REFERENCE TO HOW IT'S GOING TO IMPACT PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THESE COMMUNITIES. SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I'M NOT GOING TO BE SUPPORTING THIS.

I CAN'T JUST IN GOOD CONSCIENCE, I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS REZONING. THANK YOU. COUNCIL MEMBER.

ZIEGLER. YES. THANK YOU. AND I HAVE A QUESTION FOR THE APPLICANT. MAYBE I MISSED IT, BUT WHAT AMENITIES WERE YOU PLANNING ON PUTTING IN? SO IN THE CATEGORY I KNOW THIS IS FROM THE R3 ZONING. IT DOES STATE THAT IT'S NOT LIMITED TO THESE, BUT THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME AMENITIES. AND I DO WANT TO KIND OF POINT OUT. COUNCILMAN ADKINS WITH THE POINT THAT HE WAS MAKING, AS FAR AS WOULD IT BE CONSIDERED IN THE SAME CATEGORY, I GUESS

[01:30:01]

WE MIGHT NEED MORE CLARIFICATION FOR THAT, BUT FROM MY UNDERSTANDING, THESE ARE INDIVIDUAL AMENITIES AND IS NOT LIMITED TO THAT. AND OBVIOUSLY PERMITTING WOULD HAVE TO SAY YAY OR NAY TO THIS, BUT THESE ARE SOME OF THE EXAMPLES OF WHAT I WAS SUGGESTING IN THE AREA. AND IT'S BECAUSE IT IS A SMALL COMMUNITY. IT'S ONLY EIGHT UNITS. IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A 50 OR 60 OR 80 UNIT COMMUNITY. SO POOL WOULDN'T BE FEASIBLE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT. BUT SMALL THINGS LIKE THIS WOULD ADD TO THE COMMUNITY FEEL AND COMMUNITY WALK OF LIFE. OKAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR, AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRESENTATION. IF YOU DON'T MIND COMING BACK UP. I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY. OKAY. SO THE QUESTION, ACTUALLY, THAT COUNCIL MEMBER ZIEGLER, I KNOW YOU. I KNOW YOU JUST TALKED ABOUT WHICH SHE ASKED YOU THE QUESTION ABOUT THE AMENITIES, BUT YOU STILL DIDN'T SAY. I MEAN, FROM THAT LIST, WHAT IS IT THAT YOU'RE PROPOSING TO PUT THERE? I MEAN, I KNOW THERE WAS A LIST THAT WAS THERE. WHAT? WHAT FROM THAT LIST ARE YOU CONSIDERING TO PUT THERE? YEAH. SO THESE ARE AND AGAIN IT'S NOT LIMITED TO THESE, BUT IT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH PERMITTING FOR SURE. I DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS BUT THESE ARE EXAMPLES. ENHANCED LANDSCAPING BENCHES ARCHITECTURAL LIGHTING BIKE RACKS GAZEBOS HAMMOCK I KNOW THAT'S THE LIST, BUT WHAT ARE YOU PICKING OFF OF THIS? THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING, TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, THESE NINE RIGHT HERE PROBABLY WOULD BE THE MOST IDEAL, BUT AGAIN, IT WOULD HAVE TO GO THROUGH PERMITTING. SO IT MAY BE SOMETHING MORE THAN THAT. BUT AS FAR AS THESE, THESE WERE NINE ADEQUATE ONES THAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE NICE FOR THE PROPERTY. SO YOU YOU'RE PREPARED TO DO THESE NINE. YES. OKAY. AND. I KNOW WE TALKED EARLIER ABOUT WITH THE COMMUNITY I KNOW THEY WERE THERE WAS SOME CONFUSION ON WHO RECEIVED THE TRAFFIC STUDY. NO. DID YOU HAVE DID YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A MEETING? I KNOW THE COMMUNITY MET AT THE PLANNING AND ZONING MEETING, BUT DID YOU ACTUALLY HAVE A MEETING WITH THE RESIDENTS IN RIDGECREST WAS. YES. WELL, YOU SAID YEAH, WE DID HAVE A MEETING. THE VIRTUAL MEETING WE DID HAVE. AND THEN I PUT OUT THE TRAFFIC STUDY BECAUSE THE CONCERN WAS TRAFFIC.

OKAY. AND HOW WAS THIS? BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF RESIDENTS SAID THEY DIDN'T RECEIVE IT. WAS IT WAS IT MAILED TO TO EACH RESIDENT OR. YES, IT WAS MAILED, BUT THEY'RE STATING THEY DIDN'T SEE IT. RIGHT. BUT THEY. ALRIGHT. WHAT IS THE SQUARE FOOTAGE OF EACH UNIT? 1836, 1836 AND I KNOW YOU SAID, JUST WITH THIS DAY AND TIME, JUST THE PRICE, HAVE YOU? SO IT WAS YOU NEVER CONSIDERED SELLING ANY OF THE UNITS. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THE CLIMATE AND JUST, YOU KNOW, INTEREST RATES ARE HIGH, BUT I MEAN, STILL PEOPLE ARE STILL BUYING HOUSES, TOWNHOMES AND STUFF LIKE THAT, SO. WELL, IT'S NOT COMPLETELY OFF THE TABLE. NO. BUT I WAS LOOKING TO DO RENTAL BECAUSE IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE SAFER. BUT YES, THEY'RE DEFINITELY UP TO QUALITY TO DO TO SELL AS WELL. OKAY. NOW I KNOW THE INITIAL PROPOSAL WAS TO DO THE EIGHT UNITS. YOU SAID YOU CONSIDER SIX. YEAH. BUT BECAUSE IT IS A RESIDENTIAL AREA, HAD YOU NOT TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION BUILDING, I THINK TWO TWO HOMES ON THOSE LOTS OR PUTTING A HOME THERE INSTEAD. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU WOULD YOU SAID I KNOW THAT YOU WANTED TO LIVE IN ONE OF THE TOWNHOMES, BUT DID YOU NOT EVEN CONSIDER I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND GETTING THE MOST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. I DO, BUT STILL, WHEN WE TALK ABOUT WHAT IS IN THAT COMMUNITY, WHAT WHAT WHAT IS EXISTING THERE IN THAT COMMUNITY, WAS THAT NEVER A CONSIDERATION FOR YOU TO PUT ONE SINGLE FAMILY HOME FOR MYSELF? YOU COULD HAVE DONE I MEAN, THE LOT I MEAN, IF, IF ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, IF YOU COULD HAVE PUT TWO HOMES THERE WAS THAT NEVER A CONSIDERATION FOR YOU TWO HOMES? NO. OKAY. JUST JUST FROM A BUILDING STANDPOINT POINT. AND TO BE HONEST, FOR MY POCKETS, IT WOULDN'T BE FEASIBLE. I KNOW IT SOUNDS COUNTERPRODUCTIVE, BUT IT'S MORE FEASIBLE FOR ME TO BUILD MORE THAN LESS, HONESTLY SPEAKING. I MEAN, I UNDERSTAND. YEAH, GET MORE BANG FOR YOUR BUCK. AND SO I DID ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT SO IT'S NOT 100% OFF THE TABLE THAT YOU WOULD CONSIDER SELLING THE UNITS. I KNOW, I KNOW, YOUR THING RIGHT NOW IS TO RENT THE UNITS. YEAH, THAT IS, BUT I'M VERY FLEXIBLE, LIKE I CAN YEAH. IT'S NOT ON THE TABLE JUST AND I DON'T KNOW YOU MAY NOT KNOW EXACTLY, BUT BALLPARK. BALLPARK FOR WHAT WOULD BE YOUR LIST PRICE FOR THE TOWNHOMES IF THEY WERE FOR SALE. TO BE HONEST WITH YOU, BECAUSE OF THE MARKET, IT WOULD HAVE TO START AT AT 375 MINIMUM, PROBABLY. OKAY. AND ONE MORE THING I KNOW WE TALKED ABOUT THE WITH THE PARKING SPACES.

[01:35:07]

AND JUST BECAUSE I KNOW THAT FOUR BEDROOM UNITS AND THERE'S ONLY 1A1 CAR GARAGE, RIGHT FROM HOW I THINK, WHEN I LOOKED AT WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE SCHEMATICS OF HOW IT WAS SET UP, WOULD THERE BE PARKING? I DON'T KNOW, IS THERE A I DON'T KNOW IF THAT SHOWS OR DEPICTS. IT'S KIND OF SMALL. YES. SO THAT GREEN AREA THAT'S THAT'S THE BUFFER IS THAT. YEAH. THAT'S KIND OF JUST KIND OF SHOWING WHERE THE PARKING PAD WOULD BE AT. YEAH. OKAY. SO THE, THE WHITE PART, I SEE THE LITTLE GREEN THINGS THERE. THAT'S THAT WOULD BE THE ENTRANCE TO THE CARPORT I MEAN TO THE. YEAH. GARAGES BECAUSE WE KIND OF WANTED TO ABIDE BY THE REAR PARKING DESIGN FOR NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. SO THAT'S WHY WE WENT WITH THAT. SO TOWARDS THE BACK ARE THOSE GOING TO BE THE ARE THOSE ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES? NO THE FOUR THE FOUR WOULD BE RIGHT AT EACH UNIT. SO THE ONE CAR GARAGE AND THEN THE THE THE GREEN THAT YOU SEE. YES. THAT IS NOT SHADED IN BUT THAT'S, THAT'S SHOWING THE PARKING PAD. AND I THINK I WANT TO SHOW YOU A BETTER REAR VIEW OF HOW IT WOULD LOOK. OKAY. SO GOING INTO THE GARAGE AND THEN THEY'LL HAVE THAT ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACE. YEAH. THAT'S IN FRONT OF THE GARAGE. YEAH. AND THIS IS JUST FOR I'M THE PARKING CAN BE LOWERED THAN FOR. BUT IT WAS JUST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY PARKING SPILLING OVER INTO THE STREET. OKAY. THANK YOU. I YIELD, MADAM MAYOR. THANK YOU. I WAS ACTUALLY GIVEN THE NOTICE ON MONDAY AT WORK SESSION WHEN I RECEIVED THE LETTER IN THE MAIL AND ON BEFORE WE GOT HERE ON MONDAY, I RECEIVED A CALL. A CALL, ACTUALLY, WE GOT AN EMAIL BECAUSE WE RECEIVED AN EMAIL TODAY FROM A RESIDENT WHO HAD ATTENDED THE MEETING. AND WE HAD CONVERSATION AND I ASKED, HAD YOU MET WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD? AND IT WAS STATED THAT THERE WERE NO THERE WAS NO NEIGHBORHOOD IN THAT AREA. AND I BELIEVE I SAID IT IS. AND. YES, WE TALKED ABOUT ANOTHER MEETING BECAUSE FROM THE EMAIL THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE RESIDENT WHO WERE AGAINST IT AND THEY SPOKE, AND THEN THE OTHER RESIDENT THAT CALLED ME THAT SATURDAY IN REFERENCE TO IT BEFORE I GOT HERE ON MONDAY AND RECEIVED, I GUESS, WHAT IS CALLED A TRAFFIC STUDY OR WHATEVER IT WAS THAT I RECEIVED ON MONDAY. BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY. THIS IS NOT GOING TO FIT. WHAT'S THERE IS NOT COMPATIBLE TO THE HOUSES THAT ARE IN THE AREA, AND NO ONE IS AGAINST BUILDING. AND THE QUESTION HAS BEEN ASKED SEVERAL TIMES ABOUT A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND THE AMENITIES. WERE THERE NO ROOMS FOR ANY AMENITIES BECAUSE THE LOT IS NOT BIG ENOUGH, SO THERE'S NO ROOM FOR ANY AMENITIES. AND BASICALLY WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ADDING IT, IT JUST BASICALLY GOES WITH THE APARTMENT WITH WHAT YOU'RE BUILDING, THE BENCH, THE WALKING. YOU ALREADY HAVE SIDEWALKS ON HEALING A BIKE RAIL. THAT'S PART OF WHAT YOU BUILD. IF THERE ARE NO MORE COMMENTS, OH WELL, THEN I YIELD. THANK YOU. YEAH. JUST JUST BRIEFLY. I, THE MISS JONES INDICATED THAT THIS IS A SMALL DEVELOPMENT. IT MAY BE SMALL FOR YOU, BUT FOR THE RESIDENTS WHO LIVE HERE, THIS WOULD HAVE A LARGE IMPACT ON THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE. AND IN THE SEATS THAT WE SIT IN, WE HAVE TO PRIORITIZE THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR RESIDENTS, OUR SUPERVISORS, OVER BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT DESIRES. AND OFTENTIMES WE TRY TO COME UP WITH A WIN WIN, BUT WE HAVE TO LEAD WITH ENSURING THAT WE'RE DOING ALL THAT WE CAN TO MINIMIZE THE NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE QUALITY OF LIFE OF OUR RESIDENTS AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE. WE HAVE OTHER ZONING DISTRICTS IN OTHER AREAS IN THE CITY WHERE WE HAVE SAID WE WANT MORE DENSITY, WE WANT AN URBAN FEEL WE WANT, AND THAT'S MORE IN OUR DOWNTOWN AREA. EVEN THE RESIDENTS OR THE NEIGHBORHOODS AROUND DOWNTOWN HAVE

[01:40:02]

RESIDENTIAL ZONING BECAUSE THOSE ARE NEIGHBORHOODS. THEY'RE CLOSE TO THE URBAN CORE.

BUT IN THE URBAN CORE IS WHERE WE'RE REALLY FOCUSED ON DENSITY AND ALLOWING MORE DENSITY. THIS AREA IS R1, VERY RESIDENTIAL. THERE PROPERTIES THAT HAVE SUBSTANTIAL ACREAGE. I MEAN, IT'S JUST REALLY A RESIDENTIAL AREA, AND I DON'T THINK IT'S A PLACE THAT THIS COUNCIL HAS ENVISIONED ALLOWING DENSITY. AND SO WHILE EIGHT UNITS MIGHT NOT SEEM A LOT TO YOU, HOW LARGE IS THIS LOT? HOW LARGE IS THE LAND? AS A LITTLE LESS THAN AN ACRE. SO EIGHT UNITS ON LESS THAN AN ACRE. YEAH. WE HAVE SOME HOMES THAT ARE ON AN ACRE. RIGHT. AND SO I THINK AGAIN, I, YOU KNOW, APPLIED YOUR ENTREPRENEURIAL ISM AND WANTING TO DEVELOP. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT WHEN PEOPLE CHOOSE TO COME TO CITIES THAT YOU LOOK AT WHAT EXISTS AND YOU LOOK AT THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CHARACTER AND THE FEEL THAT'S THERE AND KIND OF RESPECT THAT. BECAUSE WHEN WE GET HERE, OUR SUPERVISORS COME AND THEY TELL US HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT IT. AND I DON'T THINK THAT THIS IS A LEGAL I DON'T KNOW THAT YOU'VE MET ALL THE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS, BUT THERE'S ALSO A DUTY THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MAINTAIN THE CHARACTER OF OUR COMMUNITY AND THAT WE HAVE WE DO ALLOW, AS I SAID, DENSITY IN OTHER AREAS OF THE CITY AND PLACES WHERE WE DO WANT THIS KIND OF DENSITY AND EVEN HIGHER DENSITY. RIGHT. BUT IF WE START TO ALLOW PROLIFERATION OF DENSITY TO SPREAD INTO OUR RESIDENTIAL AREAS, I DON'T THINK EASTPOINT IS A CITY THAT IS LOOKING TO GROW TO 100,000 RESIDENTS. I THINK OUR SWEET SPOT IS PROBABLY AROUND 50,000. BUT IF WE START ALLOWING DENSITY LIKE THIS THROUGHOUT THE CITY, THEN WE END UP IN A POSITION OR IN A SPACE WHERE THIS COUNCIL HAS NOT ENVISIONED THAT WE GO THROUGH THE DIFFERENT PLANS THAT WE HAVE. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THIS IS VERY CHALLENGING TO WANT TO PUT EIGHT UNITS WITH FOUR BEDROOMS IN EACH UNIT ON LESS THAN AN ACRE, THAT'S POTENTIALLY 32 PEOPLE IF ONE PERSON IS IN EACH BEDROOM, PLUS FIVE PARKING SPACES. THAT'S A LOT ON ONE AREA OF LESS THAN AN ACRE OF LAND. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I SHARE MY FEEDBACK IN THIS. I MAY NOT GET TO VOTE. I ONLY VOTE IF THERE'S A TIE, BUT I SHARE AND JOIN IN WITH THE CONCERNS OF THE COMMUNITY ABOUT THE DENSITY IN THIS AREA. THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT ZONED FOR THAT. IF IT WERE ZONED FOR THAT, THEN WE'D BE HAVING WE PROBABLY WOULDN'T EVEN BE HAVING THE CONVERSATION BECAUSE YOU'D ALREADY HAD THE ZONING AS A RIGHT. BUT THERE ARE OTHER LOCATIONS IN THE CITY THAT ARE ZONED FOR HIGHER DENSITY. AND SO MAYBE LOOKING AT THOSE AREAS TO BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES MIGHT EXIST THERE, THAT. I DON'T SEE ANY OTHER LIGHTS ON, I WILL GO BACK TO COUNCIL MEMBER SHROPSHIRE. OH, LET ME SAY THIS. I'M SORRY, I DID INDICATE BEFORE WE STARTED THAT IF COUNCIL WANTED TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS, A WAIVING OF THE FIRST READING WOULD BE REQUIRED.

HOWEVER, SINCE THE THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR DENIAL ORDINANCE HAS NOT BEEN DRAFTED FOR COUNCIL. AND SO IF THERE IS A DESIRE TO APPROVE THIS, THEN THE FIRST FIRST READING WOULD NEED TO BE HELD SO THAT AN ORDINANCE CAN BE DRAFTED TO BE READ FOR THIS. BUT IF THERE'S A DESIRE TO DENY, ORDINANCE IS NOT NECESSARILY NEEDED FOR THAT BASED UPON THE PAST ACTION COUNCIL. SO I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY THAT A WAIVING OF THE FIRST READING IS NOT NECESSARILY REQUIRED UNLESS COUNCIL PLANS TO TAKE ACTION ON THE ORDINANCE IN A MANNER THAT WOULD REQUIRE ORDINANCE BE APPROVED. COUNCILMAN SHROPSHIRE. THANK YOU, MADAM MAYOR. I MAKE A MOTION TO ACCEPT PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION TO DENY. SECOND, IT'S BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY SECONDED THAT WE ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDATION BY PLANNING AND ZONING TO DENY THE REZONING REQUEST AND CONCURRENT VARIANCE. ANY DISCUSSION ON THAT MOTION.

ALL THOSE IN FAVOR, ALL THOSE OPPOSED. MOTION CARRIES. NEXT UP IS, CAN I GET A MOTION TO

IS THERE A SECOND? IT'S BEEN MOVED AND PROPERLY SECONDED. ANY DISCUSSION? ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? ALL THOSE OPPOSED? MOTION CARRIES. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS NOW OPEN, MR. JONES.

I'LL TURN IT OVER TO STAFF. THANK YOU. MAYOR. COUNCIL. I'LL HAVE DIRECTOR SMITH WALK US THROUGH THIS ITEM. GOOD EVENING AGAIN. IN REFERENCE TO PROPER CASE NUMBER P2025U-00408.

PROPERTY LOCATED AT 2478 WOOD HILL LANE. THE APPLICANT IS REQUESTING A USE PERMIT FOR A HABITABLE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE PURSUANT TO SECTION TEN 2130. PLANNING COMMISSION AND STAFF DID RECOMMEND APPROVAL WITH THREE CONDITIONS. THE FIRST CONDITION. APPLICANT SHALL ADHERE TO ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND CITY CODES. STRUCTURE MUST MEET MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF HABITABLE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE PURSUANT TO SECTION TEN 2130, THE ZONING CODE AND THE MOST RECENT INTERNATIONAL RESIDENTIAL CODE WITH CURRENT STATE AMENDMENTS. CONDITION NUMBER TWO, PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION SHALL HAVE FINAL REVIEW OF APPROVAL, ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN. PURSUANT TO CITY CODES AND GUIDELINES AND CONDITION NUMBER THREE, THE APPLICANT AND OWNERS MUST RESIDE IN THE PRINCIPAL STRUCTURE OR THE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE AS SUBJECT LOCATION AND ADHERE TO ALL CITY SHORT TERM RENTAL GUIDELINES AND PROVISIONS. THAT'S THE CONCLUSION OF OUR PRESENTATION AT THIS TIME. THANK YOU, MADAM CITY CLERK, YOU CAN START THE CLOCK. THE APPLICANT CAN COME FORWARD AT THIS TIME AND SPEAK.

GOOD EVENING, MADAM MAYOR. COUNCIL STAFF. IN THIS CASE FOR 2470 WOODHILL LANE. I AM REPRESENTING THE OWNER, ROBIN SHIP. SHE'S A LONG TIME RESIDENT OF EASTPOINT. SHE IS WISHING TO PUT THIS HABITABLE STRUCTURE IN HER PROPERTY SO THAT SHE COULD LIVE IN THE STRUCTURE. AND HER FAMILY STAYS IN THE MAIN HOUSE. SHE DID SAY THAT I COULD SHARE THIS. SHE'S DOING THIS PRIMARILY FOR HEALTH REASONS, TO BE CLOSE TO HER FAMILY AND ALSO LIVE ON HER PROPERTY. SO WHEN SHE CAME TO ME TO ASSIST HER IN THIS PROJECT, WE MET ALL THE GUIDELINES THAT WERE REQUIRED BY PLANNING FOR THIS PARTICULAR ZONING PROCESS, AS WELL AS ALL THE CITY GUIDELINES. THE COMPANY THAT I HAVE, WE DO ZONING, PERMITTING, DESIGN, SO WE PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER FOR HER, AND WE CAME UP WITH THE DESIGN, THE LOCATION, THE ELEVATIONS AND EVERYTHING. IN ACCORDANCE WITH EASTPOINT, FROM PLANNING TO PERMITTING SPECIFICS. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SHOW YOU THE PROPERTY, THE DESIGN OF THE HABITABLE STRUCTURE, AS WELL AS THE LOCATION OF THE STRUCTURE ON THE PROJECT. SO. I THINK HE HAD IT FROM THE OTHER MEETING. YES. THANK YOU. OKAY. YEAH, YEAH. WHILE THEY'RE PULLING UP THE PRESENTATION STAFF, I DON'T SEE AN ORDINANCE FOR THIS ITEM. GO AHEAD, MR. WILSON. OKAY. YEAH.

THE ORDINANCE IS NOT IN PACKET ONLINE. OKAY. OKAY. YEAH. OKAY. SO THE THE MAIN HOUSE STRUCTURE IS THAT'S CURRENTLY THERE IS A BRICK HOME RANCH WITH A LOWER LEVEL BASEMENT. THE PROPERTY

[01:50:07]

SLOPES FROM FRONT TO BACK. SO THE LOWER BACKSIDE OF THE PROPERTY YOU CAN'T SEE FROM THE STREET. IF YOU GO INTO THE BACKYARD OF THE PROPERTY, YOU CAN SEE ON THE LOWER LEFT SIDE THE HABITABLE STRUCTURE IS THE LOCATION. IT'S A 30 BY 15 STRUCTURE TOTALING 450FT■!S. IT HAS ONE BEDROOM, ONE BATH, EXCUSE ME, WITH A SMALL PORCH ON THE FRONT AREA. AGAIN, WE MADE SURE IT MET ALL REQUIREMENTS, INCLUDING THAT THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE AND THE HABITABLE STRUCTURE ARE LESS AS FAR AS THE DENSITY FOR THE ENTIRE PROPERTY. IT MEETS ALL THOSE ZONING REQUIREMENTS. THE LOCATION OF THE HABITABLE STRUCTURES WITHIN THE BUILDING AREA THAT WILL BE OBSERVED EVEN FURTHER DURING THE PERMIT PROCESS. AND I THINK THAT'S IT.

ON THE ACTUAL LOCATION, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ON THE SITE PLAN? THIS IS THE INTERIOR DESIGN OF THE STRUCTURE. AS YOU CAN SEE, ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE IS THE BEDROOM WITH CLOSETS. THERE IS A SMALL OFFICE AREA. THE BATHROOM IS IN THE MIDDLE AND THEN THE LIVING DEN KITCHEN AREA IS ALL ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. AND AGAIN THE PORCH STRUCTURE IS AT THE TOP IN THE FRONT.

ONE MORE. ELEVATION FOR. IN THE LAST PHOTO WAS THE ELEVATION OF THE STRUCTURE. THE HOME IS AN ORIGINAL BRICK STRUCTURE. WHAT IS NOT SHOWN ON HERE IS A WATER TABLE. THE SIDING WOULD BE THE EXTERIOR WITH A WATER TABLE OF BRICK THAT WILL MATCH THE EXISTING HOME AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE. THE HOME WAS BUILT IN THE 50S 60S, SO THAT WOULD BE THE GOAL OF THE HABITABLE STRUCTURE. SO AND AGAIN, WE CHECKED ALL THE GUIDELINES AND PERMITTING ITEMS THAT WOULD NEED TO BE OBSERVED AFTER THIS PHASE. AND THAT ENDS THE PRESENTATION. OKAY. THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING. IS THERE ANYONE ELSE DESIRING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICATION? ANYONE DESIRING TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE APPLICATION FOR A USE PERMIT FOR 2478 WOODHILL LANE FOR HABITABLE ACCESSORY STRUCTURE.
