MC-20-01 — Property north of Jonesboro Road at Mt Carmel Road

SK Property Holdings II, LLC of McDonough, GA is requesting a modification of zoning conditions for 24.07 +/- acres located at Jonesboro Road and Mt Carmel Road. The applicant is requesting to change an existing condition that limits C-3 (highway commercial) uses to only hotels, to read as follows: “C-3 uses may be permitted, except the following: boat sales, RV parks and campgrounds, extended stay hotels, and uses prohibited within the Highway Corridor Overlay District.”

Planning staff have recommended additional conditions to permit indoor self-storage facilities designed to mirror Class A commercial office space, require the parcel(s) where an indoor storage facility is constructed to be a minimum of 280 feet from the right-of-way of Jonesboro Road, and requiring fencing at least eight feet in height constructed of brick or stone. The property is under construction for a new park and ride lot.

A rezoning request for 89.01 +/- acres located at 1496 Millers Mill Road in Woodland will reappear before the board of commissioners after being tabled in October 2019. The case was reprimanded back to the zoning advisory board who recommended denial of R-3 (single-family residential), but approval of R-2S with ten conditions.

The zoning advisory board approved a conditional use permit for a conservation subdivision in July 2019.
