[0:00] Okay, please silence your cell phones or turn them off. Appreciate that.
[0:05] I remind those in the audience and those watching on TV that this is the first
[0:09] hearing of any rezoning text change or special exception request brought before
[0:14] us today. We'll first hear a reading of the staff report for the case by
[0:19] planning staff and ask the applicant to provide a brief overview of the request.
[0:23] We'll then give the opportunity for anyone in the audience to speak for or
[0:27] against that request or to inquire about it. The commissioners will have any
[0:31] needed discussion on the case once a motion is made and seconded by the
[0:35] commission. A vote will take place and a recommendation will be rendered.
[0:40] The case will go back to the planning department for their independent
[0:44] recommendation. If a favorable recommendation is given, then the case
[0:48] is forwarded to the city council with the two independent recommendations. If
[0:52] the planning department makes a recommendation for denial, the applicant
[0:56] will have 10 days from the receipt of a letter
[0:59] stating the denial to notify the clerk of council that they are requesting to
[1:03] be placed on the city council's agenda. The city council of Columbus will hold a
[1:08] public meeting called the first reading. Said council shall consider the case,
[1:12] review planning commission and planning department recommendations, and hear
[1:16] discussion on the matter. Council will make a final decision at a second public
[1:20] meeting called the second reading. Our first agenda item for today is to
[1:24] approve the minutes from our last meeting, which was May 6th. Um any
[1:29] commissioners have questions or changes on those?
[1:33] Okay, would a commissioner like to make a motion to approve those? Thank you.
[1:36] Second. Okay, thank you all.
[1:38] Uh okay, our first case for today is REZN
[1:43] 03-26-2458,
[1:47] a request to rezone 0.29 acres of land located at 3849
[1:53] North Linden Drive. Current zoning is neighborhood commercial NC. Proposed
[1:58] zoning is single family residential 2 SFR 2. The proposed use is single family
[2:04] residential. Constance Kelly is the applicant. This property is located in
[2:08] Council District 1. Could we hear the staff report, please?
[2:12] » Good morning. This is a 0.29 acre property located at 3849 North Linden
[2:18] Drive. It is currently zoned neighborhood commercial and the
[2:22] applicant is requesting to go to single family residential 2, which is across
[2:26] the street and there is a existing house there that the applicant was able to
[2:31] purchase without finding out that it was zoned
