Zoning committee holds proposed administrative setback variance for tree preservation
Summary
The Atlanta Zoning Committee voted 5-0 to hold a proposed amendment by Councilmember Michael Julian Bond that would add an administrative zoning setback variance intended to preserve trees.
The Atlanta Zoning Committee on Oct. 11 voted to hold an ordinance by Councilmember Michael Julian Bond that would amend the 1982 Atlanta zoning ordinance to create an administrative zoning setback variance intended to preserve trees.
The committee, chaired by Matt Westmoreland, approved the motion to hold the item on a 5-0 vote. Director Holmes read the caption for the item before the committee acted.
Bond’s proposal, listed in the agenda as amending section 16.26.0003 and adding a new section 16.26.0008 titled “administrative zoning setback variance for the preservation of trees,” was not debated before the hold motion was approved. The transcript shows the request on the agenda was to hold the item; no committee discussion or amendment of the text is recorded.
The hold preserves the status quo while the sponsor may pursue additional work, withdrawal, or future return of the ordinance; the committee did not set a new date or provide further direction on the record.
The action occurred during the regular meeting after the committee chair completed roll call and minutes approval.
