Council returns 501 North Hamilton Street to commercial zoning at second reading
Summary
The council approved second reading of Ordinance 25-17 to rezone 0.7 acre at 501 North Hamilton from high-density residential (R-7) back to general commercial (C-2); staff said the parcel historically held commercial uses including a neighborhood grocery and a funeral home.
Dalton — The Dalton City Council on July 21 approved second reading of Ordinance 25-17, rezoning about 0.7 acre at 501 North Hamilton Street (parcel 12-200-24-000) from high-density residential (R-7) to general commercial (C-2).
Staff noted the parcel formerly contained a neighborhood grocery store and later a funeral home; the parcel was rezoned to R-7 several years ago and the current application seeks to return it to its previous commercial zoning. The Planning Commission and city staff recommended approval unanimously.
Council members posed no substantive objections during the second-reading motion and the council voted to approve the rezoning.
Why it matters: The rezoning restores a commercial designation to a parcel historically used for retail/commercial services, potentially allowing future commercial redevelopment consistent with nearby uses.
Next steps: Property owners will proceed under C-2 zoning for any redevelopment or permitting required.
