The Atlanta Zoning Committee on an unstated date voted to appoint James Cheeks to a two-year term on the Zoning Review Board.

Cheeks told the committee he has lived in Atlanta since the early 1990s and has worked as a home builder in the city since the late 1990s. "I've built very expensive homes, and I've built very affordable homes," Cheeks said, adding that for the last seven to eight years his focus has been on affordable housing. "I understand the code fairly well. I understand the CDP. I've had a lot of interactions with staff over the years."

The committee offered no questions beyond the nominee's introduction. A motion to approve the appointment was made by Shook and seconded by Dozier; the vote was 7 ayes, 0 nays. Chair Matt Westmore announced, "That item is favorable." The committee did not record additional conditions for the appointment in the transcript.

The appointment replaces a vacancy on the Zoning Review Board and begins a two-year term, as stated in the communication filed by council members Liliana Bactieri, Alex Juan, and Matt Westmoreland. The committee took the action as part of its communications section before returning to ordinance business.
