Council approves rezoning at 1213 Harris Street to allow duplex use
Summary
On second reading the council rezoned 0.55-acre parcel at 1213 Harris Street from R-3 to R-6 to align zoning with an existing duplex-like structure; planning commission and staff recommended approval.
The Dalton City Council voted on May 19 to approve on second reading Ordinance 25-12 to rezone a 0.55-acre parcel at 1213 Harris Street from medium-density single-family residential (R-3) to transitional residential (R-6).
The rezoning affects the parcel identified as 1213 Harris Street (Parcel 12-217-03-003). Planning staff said the structure on the site was built in a form similar to a duplex but the R-3 zoning did not permit duplexes; the petitioner sought the R-6 zoning to align permitted uses with the existing building. Planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval; the planning commission provided a unanimous positive recommendation.
Ethan Calhoun presented the staff report and advised the council that the subject parcel abuts other transitional residential zoning on its east and north sides. Council members moved to approve the ordinance on second reading; the motion carried on a voice vote recorded as "Aye." No council member identified an opposition on the record.
Discussion versus decision: the council’s action was a formal adoption on second reading; the staff report and planning commission recommendation constituted the supporting record. There were no amendments to the ordinance during the May 19 meeting.
What happens next: the rezoning is effective per the city's ordinance-adoption procedures; staff will record the change and update zoning maps and parcel records consistent with the council action.
