 PROPOSAL FOR AMENDMENT TO THE SINGLE-FAMILY DEFINMON 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 (BW 011-01)
 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.

 Furthermore, the Student Government Association requests that a committee be formed, comprised equally of students, landlords, A-CC Government Officials, and community leaders; to propose reasonable standards of behavior, and consequences for students and landlords who violate those standards of behavior in single-family neighborhoods.

 Passed this 5th Day of May, 1998.
