Commission opens hearing and postpones rezoning request for Sharon Road Development LLC to a PUD
Summary
A request to rezone roughly 6.4 acres on Dahlonega and Elm streets to a planned unit development (PUD) for a mixed‑use project (commercial buildings with condos) was opened for public comment and postponed so applicants, neighbors and staff can refine plans; staff provided no recommendation at this meeting.
The Planning and Zoning Commission opened public comment Tuesday on a request to rezone approximately 6.4 acres on Dahlonega and Elm streets to a planned unit development and then postponed the matter to the June meeting to allow more information and neighborhood input.
The applicant, represented by Sean Courtney of Lipscomb Johnson, described a proposal with two commercial buildings totaling about 18,200 square feet, three‑story buildings with 16 condominiums above (four units per floor), and a roundabout feature at the entrance as a focal point. “This property consists of approximately 6.477 acres,” Courtney said in his presentation.
Ricky Bridal, representing the ownership group, said the project team has been talking with neighbors and intends to use brick and compatible architectural details. Chuck Rosenblum, speaking for a property owner identified as Mrs. Brooks, said the owner supports the project because the property has been difficult to sell and is in financial hardship.
Planning staff reported the rezoning application covers four parcels and part of a fifth totaling “about 6.408 acres, more or less” and said the applicant is still providing additional information; staff did not offer a recommendation at the hearing. The chair and applicant agreed to hold additional meetings between staff, the applicant and neighbors; the item was postponed to the commission’s June meeting to continue that process. The transcript recorded the postponement motion as carried; no roll‑call vote was captured.
Commissioners noted the application will require additional meetings, potential conditions on setbacks and design, and input from neighbors and property owners before a final recommendation and possible council consideration. No rezoning decision was made at the meeting.
