19 Jan
'10
3:31 p.m.
The first item on the agenda is Z-3-10/Battle Bridge Road, then the text
changes. I would guess that the text changes discussion would begin by 6:50
unless there is much opposition to Z-3-10.
Along with prohibited conditions in TC-2-10, I have major concerns that the
neighborhood meeting does not specify that the CAC chair, or his/her
representative, attend the neighborhood meeting. If the neighbors have had no
dealings with rezoning cases prior to the neighborhood meeting, they might
be taken in by promises that cannot or will not be kept - not always, but we
do know that sometimes happens.
I think it will take more than my comments tonight to get TC-2-10 sent to
the Planning Commission. It is my understanding that tonight the Council
and PC are likely to vote to approve TC-1-10 immediately and possibly
TC-2-10, too. If TC-2-10 is approved tonight, citizens will be stuck with the
expanded list of prohibited zoning conditions. If that happens citizens will
have very, very little say so in future rezonings.

I don’t claim to fully understand either of these
text changes; however,
my
2 cents…
TC-1: I’m still very confused about this text change. It sounds like it
will
force the PC and Council to become more accountable
for their decisions,
since compliance with standards is supposed to be the basis for
decisions.
Very concerned about equitable representation for the
average citizen.
Needs
to be some serious discussion about implementation and
training. The GA
reg
that requires consistency with the Comp Plan sounded
like a good thing;
however, the PC quickly learned there is no watchdog around to enforce
the
reg.
TC-2: List of prohibited conditions is my biggest concern. Not sure why
we
are tinkering with prohibited uses before rewrite of
code. Submittal of
requirements and timing of changes seem advantageous.
Not sure I can make it tonight. What are others thinking? Ana, can you
be a
spokesperson for the RCAC tonight?

I hope some of you will come to the public hearing tonight to speak
about
TC-2-10. If TC-2-10 passes as is, it may be the
beginning of the end of
CUD
cases. I don't know how you feel about CUD
cases, but if CAC's can't
negotiate with rezoning petitioners before the rezoning is approved, I
believe that we lose control of what happens in our communities. TC-2-10
also expands the list of prohibited zoning conditions to include:
. the future sale or marketing of property
. building materials
. right-of-way reimbursement values
. prohibitions of cross-wake access or public street connections or
extensions
. limitations on the hours of refuse collection
. submittal of a traffic impact analysis
Also, the way T-1-10 is written, we only can give our opinions at the
Planning Commission meeting, not at the City Council public hearing. The
writers of TC-1-10 had to choose between the City Council Public Hearing
Meeting and the Planning Commission meeting as to which one would be the
"quasi-judicial" meeting. They chose the Council meeting. That means
if we
want to state our opinions (that may or may not be
factual), we cannot
do so
at the "quasi-judicial" City Council
meeting, but will have to go to a
9:00
a.m. meeting of the Planning Commission. TC-1-10 was
written because of
a
bill passed in the Legislature during their last
session.
If you have concerns about either or both text changes, I hope you will
take
time to attend the Council meeting this evening. It
begins at 6:30 p.m.
There is only one rezoning case and these two text changes on the
agenda, so
the meeting should be rather short.
Hope to see you there.
Mary Belle Pate
Chair, SWCAC
