Committee approves several second‑reading rezones and holds annexation items

The Atlanta Zoning Committee handled a set of consent and second‑reading items, approving a block of second‑reading rezonings and holding an annexation rezoning item for a future public hearing.

Director Hietta Holmes read a series of first‑ and second‑reading ordinances. The committee approved a block of second‑reading items including amendments to the Historic West End/Dare Park special public interest district floor‑area ratio and rezones at 125 Howell Drive SW, 1737 Cascade Terrace SW and 1131 Cato Street NW; the chair moved to approve, the motion was seconded and the vote was announced in the transcript (announced as garbled but recorded as approval). Director Holmes read another ordinance to zone parcels upon annexation from DeKalb County; the committee voted to hold that annexation item for the first‑quarter CDHS public hearing (vote announced as “5 yeas, 0 nays”).

These actions advance routine rezones and preserve public‑hearing opportunities for annexation and first‑reading items. The transcript does not record detailed staff reports, conditions of approval or specific site plans for the approved items.

Next steps: held items will be scheduled for CDHS public hearings; approved second‑read ordinances will proceed through administrative processing as required.
