The board's motion

Approval of the requested variances due to the historic use and character of the community, as an effort to support economic development in a way that recognizes and contributes to the neighborhood's current and traditional character. Variance 1: Re-establish the non-conforming duplex known as 1406 W. Gwinnett. Variance 2: Relief from off-street parking requirements for the new restaurant use in the building known as 1408 W. Gwinnett. This recommendation is conditional upon the successful subdivision to separate the two uses and structures onto their own distinct parcels. This minor subdivision process shall be completed and officially recorded before each respective renovation receives their certificate of occupancy.
