Responding to my email about a rumor that the various city commissions and boards wouldn’t take up the proposed variances for a 315 West Ponce de Leon Ave retail building until next month, the Decatur’s planning director Amanda Thompson writes…

The applicant requested a 30 day deferral to be able to complete architectural elevations for the project. That is all the information I have at this time. Signs with the next round of meetings dates will be posted in a couple of weeks. The meeting dates are ZBA Sept. 13, Planning Commission Sept. 14 and City Commission Sept. 20th.
