AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

Consider approval of a request for a special use permit to expand a single family dwelling in the HDR-A zoning district located at 1026 W. Poplar Street, submitted by Griffin Area Habitat for Humanity.  Planning and Development Director Toussaint Kirk will address.

The application submitted by Griffin Area Habitat for Humanity is in compliance with the special use permit provision of the Unified Development Code (UCD). The present zoning of the property is HDR-A, which requires a special use permit to allow a single-family detached dwelling unit in this district. Granting the special use reduces the setback requirements to allow a single family structure to exist in the HDR-A district and brings the structure into compliance. Further, it will allow the applicant to construct an addition to the structure and meet all the necessary setback requirements.  

Planning Staff recommends approval of the request.
