PROPOSAL FOR AMENDMENT TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY DEFINITION OF ATHENS-CLARKE COUNTY

THE STUDENT BODY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA THROUGH ITS ELECTED MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION DOES HEREBY RESOLVE:

Whereas, the students of the University of Georgia are interested in maintaining the character and quality of single-family neighborhoods.

Whereas, the students also are interested in obtaining quality housing for persons attending the University of Georgia.

Whereas, the current enforcement of the Single-Family Definition proscribes students from living in single-family areas, regardless of their behavior or living habits.

Whereas, students can coexist with local residents and not adversely affect the single-family neighborhoods.

Whereas, an improvement could be made to the single-family definition that would allow persons to live in single-family neighborhoods as long as they conform to community standards of behavior.

SGA (Bill #11-01)
BE IT RESOLVED THAT: The Student Government Association on behalf of the student body, requests that the Athens-Clarke County Government amend its Single-Family Definition to allow more than two unrelated persons to live together, and to enforce standards of neighborhood quality through proscribing unwanted behaviors rather than classes of people.
