PROPOSAL: The applicant is requesting to change zoning from C-2 Highway Business to R-2 One and Two Family Residential. ANALYSIS: These two lots are currently empty. They are surrounded by residential uses. Nearby districts include R-1, R-1B, R-2, and R-T. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Arts, Eats, Eco-Business Corridor in which it lies as follows: This area functions as an activity center with a mix of neighborhood commercial uses including shopping, crafts, restaurants, and eco-tourism. The Comprehensive Plan describes the Historic Battery Neighborhood which it abuts as follows: This character area includes the developed and undeveloped area north of Hwy. 80. This area contains a significant amount of natural and environmentally sensitive areas with public and private access to the Savannah Harbor. There is existing residential development and the potential for additional development within this area. The neighborhood also has the potential to be connected to the Arts, Eats, and Eco Activity Center, North Beach Neighborhood, and McQueen’s Trail/Fort Pulaski via the proposed multi- use trail/greenway system. The two lots more appropriately fit into the Historic Battery Neighborhood. Comprehensive Plan – Community Character Area The Arts, Eats, Eco-Business Corridor Recommended Development Strategies Meets Strategy Y/N or N/A 1. New development, redevelopment, and restoration should be consistent with the existing character area in terms of mass, scale, use, and density Y 2. Encourage commercial and mixed use infill development and redevelopment along Hwy. 80 commercial corridor N 2 3. Downzoning within the Hwy. 80 commercial corridor should be discouraged Y & N 4. Establish a set of standard for a maximum percentage of residential use on a per parcel basis to encourage mixed use. N 5. Enhance pedestrian movement through streetscape improvements N/A 6. Allow for an appropriate mix of retail, residential, and tourism related uses consistent with the vision of the plan. Y 7. Implement traffic calming measures and parking improvements N/A 8. Establish noise and sight buffers between the commercial uses and the adjacent residential areas. N/A STAFF FINDING Staff notes that these two lots are surrounded by residential uses. In my opinion it would be better to make these lots residential as the commercial uses don’t start until the Tybee Oaks parcel. Staff recommends approval.
