CITY COUNCIL MEMBER ITEM FOR THE MAY 18, 2015, CITY
COUNCIL MEETING - RESCIND PREVIOUS CITY COUNCIL
ACTIONS ON NICHOLS/WARNER SITE
STATEMENT OF ISSUE:
On November 4, 2013, the City Council approved several legislative items related to the
property generally located south of Warner Avenue and east of Nichols Street (the
"Nichols/Warner Site"), which had been acquired previously by Rainbow ES. These
legislative items of November 4, 2013, modified and designated the Residential Medium
Density to Industrial Zoning.
Since that date, Rainbow ES, the owner of the Nichols/Warner Site, was acquired by
Republic. Republic/Rainbow has recently requested that zoning designation for this
Nichols/Warner Site be reverted back to its pre -November 4, 2013, "Residential Medium
Density" designation, thereby repealing the November 4, 2013 actions by the City.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Direct the City Manager to initiate General Plan and Zoning Map Amendments to
remove the current General Plan and Zoning designations on the Nichols/Warner Site,
and change the "Industrial' designations back (repeal) to "Residential Medium Density."

Dear Councilman Sullivan:
The acquisition of Rainbow Disposal by Republic Services, Inc. has caused us to
reconsider our plans for the Warner Nichols property. We do not foresee any need for
the property based on our revised business plans and projections. Therefore, we would
like to request the City rescind the commercial/'industrial rezoning of our property so
that it will revert back to medium density residential.
We appreciate your cooperation in this matter.
Cc. Fred Wilson
Sincerely,
