The item will be heard by the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission on Monday, July 28, 2014 STAFF ANALYSIS · This application is in conjunction with a restaurant to be located at 860 Forsyth Street (Dunkin Donuts). Previous Design Review Board approval included the use of properties at 860 Forsyth Street, 878 Forsyth Street, and 873 Pine Street (Douglas House). Approval by the Design Review Board and Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission was conditioned upon the Douglas House (873 Pine Street) being moved, not demolished. The building was to be relocated to 1594 Mercer University Drive (formerly the Noland Company) to serve as professional office space. · The current request is to demolish the Douglas House. Relocation plans have been delayed and therefore the applicant is seeking approval to demolish the structure in order to meet his construction schedule. · Section 27A.07 [3] (a) (i) – (iv) of the Comprehensive Land Development Resolution states that the Design Review Board must determine if the proposed demolition meets the following criteria: · (i) Is the building of such architectural or historical interest that its removal would be to the detriment of the public interest; (ii) Is the building of such old and unusual or uncommon design, texture and material that it could not be reproduced or be reproduced only with great difficulty; (iii) Would retention of the building help preserve and protect an historic place or area of other interest in the county? and/or (iv) Would retention of the building promote the general welfare by maintaining and increasing real estate values; generating business; creating new positions attracting tourists, students, writers, historians, artists and artisans; attracting new residents; encouraging study and interest in American history; stimulating interest and study in architecture and design; educating citizens in American culture and heritage; or making the county a more attractive and desirable place in which to live? The 2040 Future Land Use Map recommends central business/community commercial uses for this property.

Brazawa Krowa, LLC, Applicant. STAFF ANALYSIS · The above-referenced 20.01 acre tract is a nonconforming manufactured home park (formerly Sama & Son Mobile Home Park). The property is under new ownership. · At the April 28, 2014 meeting, the property was rezoned from R-2, Two-Family Residential District to C-4, Highway Commercial District to bring the zoning classification into conformity with the existing land use and to allow a portion of the mobile home park to be converted to a travel trailer/RV park. · During the rezoning hearing, it was determined that in addition to rezoning the property, a conditional use and a variance application were needed before the applicant could develop the travel trailer/RV park portion of the property. Section 14.04[21] allows this as a conditional use provided that the requirements of Section 23.06 are met. The current application(s) are the corresponding conditional use and variance to allow the project to move forward. · In addition to the existing mobile home park (124 lots), a portion of the property will provide 55 lots for travel trailers and RV’s (recreational vehicle). Section 23.06 [3] states that “spaces in travel trailer parks may be used only by travel trailers, and are subject to all applicable laws and ordinances of the City of Macon and Bibb County. Spaces shall be rented by the day or week only, and an occupant of such space shall remain in the same trailer park for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days.” · Furthermore, Section 23.06 [1] states that a travel trailer park must have direct access to a county, state, or federal highway with a minimum lot width of 50 FT used for the entrance/exit. The travel trailer portion of the property does not have direct access to a county, state, or federal highway. In addition, the entrance off Trailer Park Drive is 31.70 FT in width. A variance in access requirements is needed for the development of the travel trailer/RV park. It should be noted that the existing access road has served the manufactured home park since it was established. REQUIRED LOT WIDTH: PROPOSED LOT WIDTH: VARIANCE REQUESTED: · 50.00 FT 31.70 FT 18.30 FT Section 27.11 [1] of the regulations state that the Commission is authorized to grant variances from the strict application of the regulations upon proof by a preponderance of the evidence that: a. By reason of exceptional narrowness, shallowness, shape, topographical conditions, or other extraordinary situations or conditions peculiar to a specific parcel of property, the strict application of these regulations would result in peculiar or unusual, practical, difficulties to or exceptional or undue hardship upon the owner of such property: 1 · b. Such variance is the minimum reasonably necessary to overcome the aforesaid exceptional conditions: c. Such variance can be granted without substantial impairment to the intent, purpose, and integrity of this Resolution and/or the comprehensive plan or other master plan adopted for the property: d. Such variance will not be detrimental to the use and enjoyment of adjoining or neighboring properties. The 2040 Future Land Use Map recommends urban residential use for this property. Sections 14.04[21] and 23.06 of the Comprehensive Land Development Resolution along with the Commission’s database were used as references in preparing this staff report.
