During a recent government meeting, the city council discussed a significant agenda item concerning a special exception for a property located at 7717 Dahlia Drive in Gochai, Mississippi. The proposal, presented by Planning Director Scott Anderson, seeks to allow the construction of a duplex within an R3 mobile manufactured home residential zoning district.

The property in question spans approximately 2.3 acres and has access to both water and wastewater services. According to the comprehensive plan, the future land designation for this area is classified as local home residential. Anderson provided the council with the applicant's responses and staff findings related to the special exception, as well as a definition of hardship for their consideration.

The Planning Commission has recommended that the city council approve the special exception for the duplex. The council has several options regarding the proposal: they can approve the special exception as is, modify it, or deny it altogether. The meeting included a review of the minutes and application related to this request, indicating a thorough examination of the matter before the council's decision.
