The Sunbury Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve rezoning 142 East Granville Street (parcel 41741109021000) from Industrial District to Commercial District C-2 following a public hearing and staff recommendation.

The rezoning request was presented by applicant Jared Fodor, who said he and Scott Fodor seek the change so his wife can locate Sunbury Dance Academy in the existing building. “I intend to do a full remodel on a small addition on the existing building so my wife can locate her business, Sunbury Dance Academy there,” Fodor said during the hearing.

Commission legal counsel Vic Whitney swore in all prospective speakers, admitted three exhibits into the record (application materials and map, public hearing notice and proof of mailing, and the staff report) and explained the public-hearing process. The staff report noted that parcels directly to the north and multiple parcels across Granville Street are commercially zoned and recommended approval, observing that the current building already does not conform to industrial setbacks and would align better with C-2 setbacks.

No members of the public offered comment during the hearing. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about neighboring parcels; staff confirmed the parcel immediately east is owned by the applicant and remains zoned industrial and that two parcels in the area are the only ones zoned industrial in that immediate block. After brief discussion the commission moved and seconded approval and recorded five affirmative votes.

The commission’s approval changes the zoning classification; no site-specific conditions, timetable or subsequent council action were stated during the meeting.

The record for this item includes the application and site plan, mailing proof, and the staff report.
