Meeting Summary
Rezoning Request for 0 Old Roswell Road
-
•
The Planning Commission will consider a rezoning request for a 9.9869-acre property at 0 Old Roswell Road, seeking to change its zoning from Commercial Mixed Use (CX) to Office Residential (OR) to allow for the development of 62 townhomes. [Planning Commission Agenda p.2]
-
•
City staff recommends denial of the rezoning request, citing concerns that the proposed townhome development does not align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan's vision for the Industrial/Flex Character Area as an employment center. [Planning Commission Agenda p.4] [Planning Commission Agenda p.10]
-
•
The applicant, Pope & Land Enterprises, argues that the rezoning to Office Residential (OR) is compatible with the surrounding residential uses and addresses the growing demand for high-quality housing, while also reducing potential traffic impact compared to previous commercial development concepts. [Planning Commission Agenda p.29] [Planning Commission Agenda p.34]
-
•
The proposed development would require a stream buffer variance due to an encroachment of approximately 6,778 square feet into the 100-foot City Stream Buffer and 34,406 square feet into the 50-foot Impervious Setback, though the applicant proposes mitigation by setting aside additional undisturbed buffer area. [Planning Commission Agenda p.9] [Planning Commission Agenda p.35]
