As announced in an earlier post, the application was reviewed at the UHNA Steering Committee meeting Oct 27. The meeting resolved to request that NPU deny the variance, citing several reasons, and requested UHNA NPU-D Rep Eva Nason share this at the meeting.
Eva provides this post-meeting update;
“We were successful at the regular NPU-D meeting in voting to oppose the variance application to the Board of Zoning Adjustment to reduce parking from 135 spaces to 20 spaces in connection with the development of a sports bar in the back of the building which houses Affordable Spirits at 1151 Chattahoochee Ave.
Interestingly enough, the applicant was not present. The vote taken on the motion to deny this variance was large (in the vicinity of 113-13 in favor of the motion) because there was an item on the agenda involving the Bolton Neighborhood which had called forth a large contingent of Bolton residents.
This variance application will be handled by the BZA at its meeting at 11am on November 13 at City Hall at which the public is allowed to speak.”
All concerned residents are encouraged to attend and speak if they so wish.
A copy of the reasoning presented to NPU-D is below.
