Commission postpones conditional‑use permit for used-car brokerage at 334 Dahlonega Street
Summary
A conditional‑use permit request to operate an automotive brokerage selling high‑end used cars at 334 Dahlonega Street was postponed to the commission’s June 17 meeting after staff said the applicant must provide a site plan, signage, operating hours, vehicle-count details and landscaping/screening plans.
The Planning and Zoning Commission on Tuesday postponed action on a conditional‑use permit to allow a used‑automobile sales and brokerage business at 334 Dahlonega Street to the June 17 meeting.
Applicant representative Jared Sample said the owner seeks approval to operate a high‑end used‑car brokerage at the address and asked if the commission could review submitted materials quickly because of an anticipated closing in August. “We’re seeking approval for the committee to allow for that at that particular location,” Sample said.
Planning staff told the commission that the property is zoned Highway Business, where used vehicle sales are conditionally allowed, and outlined information the applicant must provide before staff can make a recommendation: a site plan showing off‑street storage and parking counts, signage plans compatible with surrounding businesses, proposed business hours, the number of vehicles proposed for display along Dahlonega Street while preserving an unencumbered loading/unloading zone, a landscape plan approved by the design review committee, and screening from adjacent businesses.
Sample asked whether the applicant could supply the additional materials quickly because of a contract closing in August and offered to provide information “within the next 28 hours” for commission review; the commission’s chair deferred to staff and postponed the item to the June 17 meeting to allow time to submit and review the requested documentation. The transcript did not record a formal vote tally; the motion to postpone was recorded as carried.
No final decision on the conditional‑use permit was made. Planning staff said it will provide a recommendation to the commission after the applicant submits the required materials and staff review is complete. If materials are submitted early, staff indicated it would attempt to review them before the June meeting and re‑place the item on the agenda if appropriate.
