Applicant seeks permit to run classroom support and event services business from Rogers Crossing Drive

Colette (surname recorded in the file as White and spoken at the podium as Wright), identified herself as the applicant for The Creative Assistant and requested a Type 1 special administrative permit on Aug. 19 to operate from 1567 Rogers Crossing Drive.

At the podium she described services for schools, churches and businesses including classroom bulletin-board installation and breakdown, visual display layout, organizing classroom supplies, personal shopping for educators, teacher prep for long-term leaves, substitute preparation, faith-based and corporate bulletin boards, document creation, mobile notary services, large-scale laminating, supply-ordering assistance and photo booth rentals. "The name of the business is the creative assistant, and, I am an administrative and creative partner to businesses and educational businesses," she said.

The applicant told staff the operation would be a "no contact business." Staff asked her to confirm that she would comply with the City of Stonecrest supplemental regulations for Type 1 home occupations under city ordinance chapter 27, section 4.2.31; she agreed. Staff said she will receive a decision letter from planning and zoning within 24 to 48 hours. Underlying zoning listed in the file is MR1 (medium-density residential) and the future land-use designation is suburban neighborhood. No public opposition or formal motion was recorded during the hearing.
