Council adopts rezoning to R‑2 for 2461 McAlpine Terrace; first reading waived
Summary
The East Point City Council voted to amend the official zoning map for 2461 McAlpine Terrace from RL (Residential Limited) to R‑2 (two‑family), waiving first reading after hearing a staff recommendation and an applicant statement; no public opposition was recorded during the hearing.
The East Point City Council on Feb. 16 adopted an ordinance amending the official zoning map to rezone property at 2461 McAlpine Terrace (case P2025RZ‑001‑11) from RL (Residential Limited) to R‑2 (two‑family dwelling). The council also voted to waive the ordinance’s first reading and proceed with adoption.
Planning and Community Development Director Kimberly Smith told the council the planning commission and staff recommended approval. The applicant, Darnell Delaire of 2461 McAlpine Terrace, said the property is already occupied as multifamily and that rezoning to R‑2 aligns with the City of East Point’s land‑use guidance.
The public hearing produced no proponents or opponents; no resident came forward to oppose the request. Councilmember Ziegler moved the ordinance; Councilmember Caldwell seconded. After brief procedural discussion about waiving the first reading, the council approved the motion by voice vote.
Because the city attorney read public‑hearing procedures that cite city code section 10‑22‑19, the council conducted the hearing under the notice, opportunity to speak, and time‑limits the code requires. Mayor Pro Tem Atkins presided over the hearing and put the question to the council.
The ordinance takes effect consistent with the city’s ordinance rules and the waiver the council adopted at the meeting. The council record shows staff and the applicant presented materials supporting consistency with the future‑land‑use designation and the planning commission recommendation.
