Council OKs second RMD-to-R15 rezoning after neighborhood support
Summary
Council unanimously approved a second rezoning from RMD to R15; staff again cited lot-size non-conformity and the requirement for Historic Preservation Commission review before permits are issued.
The Social Circle City Council voted unanimously to approve the second rezoning request to change a parcel from RMD to R15, which will allow a single-family detached dwelling. Ashley, the staff presenter, said the parcel currently is non-conforming due to lot size but would "be in line with what is allowed under R15 zoning" and that water, sewer and gas services are available.
A resident, David Wilkins (1391 Double Bridges Road, Madison), spoke in favor, saying, "this is my backyard too. So we have nothing but good intentions." With no opposition speakers registered, Teresa moved to approve and Steve seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The developer must pursue the Certificate of Appropriateness with the Historic Preservation Commission and comply with UDC design standards before receiving building permits.
Because both rezoning approvals occurred within the historic district, staff emphasized the COA requirement as the next procedural step.
