At the start of the item, applicant Joe Top said the neighborhood association and the local council member asked the developer to pursue the 2016 zoning code pathway. Top said the planning department was still preparing interpretations about how that route would affect the project, and the applicant requested a postponement “in an effort to not waste people's time and, respect the neighborhood and council members' request.”
Board Chair Amy Sherrill called for a motion and the board voted to postpone the case to the November meeting. The applicant told the board that if the board denied the postponement he was prepared to proceed with the hearing that night.
The postponement removes the item from the board's active docket until the applicant returns with clarification about whether the 2016 code pathway will eliminate the need for the variance.
