Staff Recommends:  Delete to CRC Subject to stipulations 

ECCA Recommends:  Support staff recommendations of deletion to CRC, and allowing the applicant to use the property “as is” in its current configuration until time of redevelopment.  However, at the time of redevelopment we recommend that this application come back to the Board of Commissioners as an Other Business Item with specific plans for these two properties, including site, landscape, traffic, lighting and sign.  The intersection of Roswell and Providence has had 108 accidents in the last five years, which averages out to a little over 1 per month.  How this property is redeveloped and the flow of traffic in and out of the property is something that needs to be looked at with a specific site plan in mind so it doesn’t add to the existing problem in this area.

Planning Commission Action: Approved 5-0 with zoning deleted to CRC subject to stipulation letter dated 9/27/10 and the following changes: Item No. 1 add to end:  f. video arcades; g. pool halls; h. auto sales or service; i. convenience stores; j. special event(s) facilities; k. check cashing establishments; l. self-service laundry; m. emissions inspections; n. recycling centers

  • Board of Commissioners to approve future building plans which include elevations, facade renderings, landscape plans,  parking plans, and site plans prior to construction
  • entrance to Roswell Road to remain right-in/right-out only
  • allow the Applicant to continue to use the property as is in its current configuration until time of redevelopment, at which time it will be subject to the conceptual plan submitted, with the District Commissioner approving minor modifications (on file in the Zoning Division)

Board of  Commissioners Action:  Approve 5-0 to Delete rezoning to the CRC zoning district subject to:

1) all the Applicant to continue to use the property as is in its current configuration until time of redevelojpment, at which time it will be subject to the conceptual plan submitted, with the District Commissioner approving minor modifications;
