Jackson. Item number 10, first reading,
[7:26] ordinance 26-20
to hear the request of the Salvation
[7:30] Army to reszone from rural residential
R5 to limited commercial C1A, a
[7:35] attractive land totaling 0.706
acres located at 1108
[7:41] and 1110 Penrose Drive. parcels
12-182-02-12,
[7:48] parcel 12-182-02-13,
[7:51] and parcel 12182-02-014.
[7:58] Ethan,
>> thank you, Madame Mayor and Council. Uh,
[8:01] this is fairly straightforward
reasonzoning. Uh not that long ago, this
[8:06] had been reszoned from the C1 zone
district neighborhood commercial to R5
[8:13] with the intent for the Salvation Army
to build duplex dwellings on the subject
[8:18] property. Approximately two duplex
dwellings and they've done so on some
[8:23] other adjacent properties that you can
see on the zoning map. Those other
[8:26] tracks zoned R5 uh were all part of that
action. and there are some duplexes on
[8:32] some of the C1 properties as legal
non-conforming uses.
[8:37] What they ran into were some setback
issues on the subject property. So those
[8:43] three parcels that make up the subject
property that we see on the screen that
[8:47] are being requested to be reszoned from
R5 to C1A
[8:54] um have just have some setback
situations because of that becoming
[9:00] a double fronted lot that comes to a
point creates some challenges for them
[9:04] to develop that on individual parcels
because in the R5 zone district you can
[9:09] have a duplex dwelling which is
precisely what they want to develop, but
[9:14] in order to have that, you have to have
one principal dwelling per tract of
[9:19] land.
While they have enough acreage and
[9:23] plenty enough room to have two duplexes,
because of that narrowing lot, because
[9:27] it being a double fronted lot, setbacks
are different on double fronted lots.
[9:32] And so with those challenges, they had
requested the C1A zone district because
[9:37] their engineer determined that they
could have two duplex dwellings on this
[9:41] property if they could combine all three
tracks of land on the subject property
[9:45] into one tract of land, which you can
see on their preliminary site plan and
[9:50] how they would locate those two
duplexes. And they could meet the
[9:53] setbacks, they could meet the zoning,
and not have any issues with that piece
[9:58] of property. And based on the
surrounding development, uh there are
[10:02] already a number of duplexes that exist
in this area, a number of rental
[10:05] properties, single family, multifamily.
It's all part of the Salvation Army
[10:10] campus. So, we did not see any
disruption in land use. In terms of
[10:13] zoning, uh both the R5
zone district and the C1A zone district
[10:19] share several uses, one of those being
single family detached dwellings as well
[10:23] as u duplex dwellings.
And there's also no conflict with C1A or
[10:30] C1. Both of those are very limited
commercial zone districts. So this
[10:34] wouldn't uh create any entering wedge or
spot zone or any of those type
[10:38] situations. So with all that in
consideration and the fact that no uh
[10:43] public opposition was heard at the
public hearing, staff recommendation was
[10:46] to approve and the planning commission
recommended unanimously to approve the
[10:50] C1A. I'll be happy to answer any
questions.
[10:53] » All right. Are there questions or
comments on this item of Ethan? This is
[10:56] a first reading so we will take no
action on it this evening.
[11:00] » I have two questions on the first one.
So if you switch first of all do um
[11:06] Salvation Army own both of the dwellings
that's sitting there. They do
[11:12] » they do their intent is to uh raise
those they would redevelop that
[11:16] property.
>> Okay. And then the second one, if
[11:19] they're occupied, uh, will it affect
their insurance? Cuz, you know, usually
[11:23] when you switch zones, you have to get
the insurance approved.
[11:28] » Uh, I think in this case, there'll be
residential buildings rather than
[11:32] commercial buildings, and there'll be no
mixing of commercial and and
[11:35] residential. I can't say for sure.
That's that's not my expertise on
[11:40] insurance. Um but because
>> the reason I ask because usually that's
[11:44] why most people come and they say they
couldn't get insurance because the
[11:48] zoning got switched
>> right I think in this case a lot of
[11:51] times insurance and mortgage is in terms
of getting or getting a mortgage a lot
[11:56] of times in this case it'll be Salvation
Army and I would presume that they'll
[12:00] operate this out of either philanthropic
funds or internal budget.
[12:05] » All right. Are there any other questions
or comments on this item? If not, it
[12:09] will be eligible to be heard at the and
voted upon if desired by the council um
[12:17] at the next scheduled meeting. All
right. Thank you, Ethan. All right.
[12:22] There is no supplemental business before
I do have um before this body. Um we do
[12:27] have an announcement and you should be
able to see behind us here. Um this has
[12:32] been published um as is required by
state law um timely. And so let's read
[12:38] this. The city of Dalton has tentatively
adopted a millage rate which will
[12:44] increase property taxes by 14.24%
over the roll back rate. And the roll
[12:50] back rate just so we're just for
educational purposes would mean that we
[12:55] would roll back our millage rate to a
rate that we would collect no additional
[13:01] taxes that weren't new taxes. So if
there was new growth, new home was built
[13:06] and that grew our tax collections, that
wouldn't qualify as a tax increase. But
[13:11] as defined by state law language,
not doing the roll back rate fully is
[13:18] technically um a tax increase and must
be advertised as such if it is being
[13:24] contemplated. All concerned citizens are
invited to the following public hearing
[13:29] on this tax increase. The proposed
hearings are scheduled as follows. First
[13:34] hearing, September the 11th, 2026 at
11:00 a.m. It's here. Um second hearing,
[13:40] September 21st, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. Third
hearing, September 21st, 2026 at 6:00
[13:47] p.m. That's also a council um night. uh
adoption of millage rate scheduled for
[13:53] September the 21st, 2026 act 6 pm.
Hearings will be held in the council
[13:59] chambers at Daltton City Hall 300 West
Wall Street. I don't believe there are
[14:03] any other announcements at this time. I
will entertain a motion to adjurnn.
[14:08] » I have a motion. I have a second. Is
there any discussion? If not, all in
[14:12] favor? I. Any opposed? We are adjourned.
Thank you all for coming this evening.
[14:16] Hope everybody has a good week.
