Council rezones 11 West Park Ave to Traditional Commercial to allow commercial units and studios
Summary
The council approved a rezoning for 0.08 acres at 11 West Park Avenue from TN‑1 to TC‑2 to permit commercial uses on both floors and studio apartments; Planning Commission and staff recommended approval and council adopted the ordinance.
The Savannah City Council approved a rezoning request for 0.08 acres at 11 West Park Avenue (Seacrest 7 LLC) that changes the parcel from Traditional Neighborhood 1 (TN‑1) to Traditional Commercial 2 (TC‑2). The applicant’s plan would allow commercial operations on each floor and studio apartments above; staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval, noting consistency with the 2040 comprehensive plan’s future‑land‑use designation.
A city planner presented site plans and a floor plan showing two commercial units and studio apartments on the first and second floors; the proposal does not include exterior expansion. Council closed the public hearing with no speakers and voted to consider the first reading as the second and to adopt the ordinance in the same meeting.
Council congratulated the presenting planner on a successful first presentation and noted the rezoning applies specifically to the parcel rather than the whole street. Questions from council clarified that the rezoning is parcel‑specific. The ordinance passed by voice vote.
