Summary

Jean presented the first reading of Ordinance 25-24 to rezone 0.25 acres at 913 Riverbend Road from M2 to R5 for a proposed duplex; the planning commission gave a favorable recommendation and the item was scheduled for a future vote.

The Dalton City Council heard a first reading of Ordinance 25-24 at its Dec. 1 meeting. Jean (speaker 8) said the request, filed by Wayne Burgess, seeks to rezone a 0.25-acre parcel at 913 Riverbend Road (parcel 12-255-03-028) from Heavy Manufacturing (M2) to Rural Residential (R5) to allow construction of a duplex. Jean said the planning commission recommended approval unanimously at its recent meeting.

Because this was a first reading, the council took no action and will consider a vote at a future council meeting. Jean noted the parcel and adjacent lots had been affected by an earlier zoning scheme (described in the record as a pyramid zoning scheme) and referenced two nearby rezonings earlier in the year where duplex construction is already underway.

No public testimony or additional council debate was recorded during the first reading; the item will return to the council for a formal vote at a subsequent meeting.
