Community Character Protection Update

October 4, 2007
City Council has asked the planning Commission for recommendation on December 3, 2007 and has directed staff to  draft a public notice  stating that the interim measures shall be effective upon the publication of that notice for property zoned or used residentially within the Cottontown, Heathwood, Hollywood/Rosehill, Shandon and Wales Garden neighborhoods.  This notice ran in The State Newspaper on Sunday, September 23, 2007; therefore, staff can not approve any application contrary to this amendment starting Monday, September 24, 2007. 
 
The Cottontown and Wales Garden neighborhoods are not required to submit additional documentation, but the Heathwood, Hollywood/Rosehill and Shandon neighborhoods must complete the new process that has been established and other neighborhoods could request that the interim measures be applied through the same process.  All requests for interim measures -- including Heathwood, Hollywood/Rosehill, and Shandon -- must be received by the Zoning Administrator or Preservation Planner by November 21, 2007.  The consideration of all requests will be scheduled for the January 16, 2008 Zoning Public Hearing.
