First reading: Dalton planning staff recommend rezoning Trammell/Jones parcels for duplex development
Summary
A first reading was held June 30, 2025 on the petition by Sebastian Oraquat to rezone six parcels totaling 1.74 acres from C-1 (neighborhood commercial) to R-5 (rural residential) to allow duplex construction; staff and the planning commission recommended approval and no opposition was reported.
The Dalton Mayor and Council held a first reading on June 30, 2025 of a rezoning request from Sebastian Oraquat seeking to rezone six parcels totaling 1.74 acres on Trammell Street and Jones Street from Neighborhood Commercial (C-1) to Rural Residential (R-5).
Ethan, a planning staff member presenting the request, said the petitioner intends to develop duplexes on the combined tracts. The subject property already includes a duplex and is adjacent to other duplex development; staff concluded the request fits a transitional area between industrial, commercial and medium-density residential zones and recommended approval. The Dalton Planning Commission also recommended approval and no public opposition was reported during the planning hearing.
This was a first reading only; the item will be eligible for a final vote at the July 21, 2025 council meeting. Ethan said the city had not received a detailed site plan from the petitioner at the time of the first reading and that lot-line adjustments would be required to create individual lots for any duplex units.
Key parcels included: 12-182-02-024, 12-182-02-025, 12-182-02-019, 12-182-02-012, 12-182-02-013 and 12-182-02-014. Staff noted that final development will be subject to zoning standards and any required permits.
