Description

The Petitioner is requesting an amendment of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) for the property at 505 E. 54th Street from a designation of Residential – Suburban Single-family to Residential – General. The amendment is requested in association with a proposal to develop the historic children’s home on the property as a multi-family housing development along with three smaller (new construction) multi-family buildings on the eastern (rear) portion of the property. 

 

The site is within the Ardmore Conservation District. The purpose is to preserve the character of Savannah’s older and historic neighborhoods which lack the protection of a local historic district overlay. The proposal would preserve both the historic principal structure and a carriage house at the rear of the property.

Recommendation

On October 17, 2023, the Metropolitan Planning Commission recommended approval of the amendment to the Future Land Use Map from Residential Suburban Single-family to Residential – General for the property located at 505 E. 54th Street (PIN 20086 27004).
