Summary

The council took first readings on zone-map amendments for property at 238 Cedar Drive (commercial to residential R-4) and for 2787 Hill Street (consolidation from RH and R-2 to R-2). Both items were recommended by the planning commission and introduced for first reading.

The Radcliffe City Council on Aug. 19 introduced two separate ordinances for first reading to amend the city zoning map.

A request by Silvergate Properties LLC would rezone about 26.307 acres identified as part of Arlington Center Lot 3 (PVA 138-20-07-003) on Cedar Drive from a commercial zone to R-4 (high-density single-family and duplex). The planning commission held a public hearing on Aug. 7 and recommended approval, citing the city’s comprehensive plan and supporting evidence of record; the first reading was introduced by City Attorney Pike.

Separately, property owners Sandra G. Turner and Glenn S. Turner requested that about 38.76 acres at 2787 Hill Street (PVA 139-00-00-002) be rezoned from RH (residential holding) and R-2 (low-density single-family) to R-2. The planning commission recommended the change after its Aug. 7 hearing; the ordinance was introduced for first reading by Councilmember Owens.

Why it matters: Both items are map amendments at first reading; rezoning could affect allowable uses, density and future subdivision or development patterns for the parcels identified. The staff summary referenced deed and PVA parcel citations and directed interested parties to the full ordinance on the city website or via the city clerk’s office.

Next steps: Both zone-map amendments were placed on the council docket for subsequent readings as required by local notice rules. No final votes were taken at the Aug. 19 meeting.

Ending: The council referred the full text of both ordinances to the record and advised the public to consult the city clerk or the municipal website for copies and further detail.
