First reading: petitioner seeks to rezone 501 N. Hamilton from high-density residential to commercial
Summary
Octavio Perez requested on June 30, 2025 that the council rezone 0.7 acres at 501 North Hamilton from R-7 to C-2 to allow reoccupancy as a convenience store; planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval and the item will be eligible for final vote July 21, 2025.
The Dalton Mayor and Council conducted a first reading on June 30, 2025 of a rezoning petition by Octavio Perez to change the zoning of 0.7 acres at 501 North Hamilton Street (Parcel 12-200-24-000) from High-Density Residential (R-7) to General Commercial (C-2).
Ethan, planning staff, told the council the property previously had a long history of commercial uses and was zoned general commercial until a few years ago when it was rezoned for multifamily. The petitioner’s application states an intent to reoccupy the existing structure as a commercial convenience or neighborhood store; planning staff recommended approval and the Dalton Planning Commission concurred. No opposition was reported at the public hearing.
This item is a first reading; it will be eligible for a final vote at the July 21, 2025 council meeting. If the council approves the rezoning in later readings, the petitioner will need to comply with applicable permitting and code requirements to operate a commercial use at the address.
