Council approves rezoning request for 1.9-acre Walston Avenue parcel
Summary
Dalton City Council approved second reading of Ordinance 25-22 to rezone a 1.9-acre parcel on Walston Avenue from R-7 (high-density residential) to R-5 (rural residential) following unanimous staff and planning commission recommendations.
Dalton City Mayor and Council on Oct. 20 approved the second reading of Ordinance 25-22, granting a request by David Armstrong to rezone a 1.9-acre parcel on Walston Avenue (Parcel 12-197-01-038) from R-7, a higher-intensity residential district, to R-5.
City staff said the petitioner intends to use the property for single-family detached dwellings and duplexes. “This was a request to go from, the higher intensity R 7 down to R 5,” a staff member said during the meeting, and both staff and the planning commission provided a unanimous recommendation for approval because R-5 is less intensive than R-7.
The council moved and seconded approval and the motion carried without recorded opposition. The council did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript provided.
The rezoning had been introduced at a prior hearing and returned for a second reading; the planning commission and staff presentations were cited as the basis for the council’s action. No conditions beyond the change to R-5 were stated in the meeting record.
