City parcel at 911 Riverbend Road rezoned from M2 to R5 to restore residential use
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a city‑jurisdiction rezoning to allow restoration of a historic single‑family dwelling at 911 Riverbend Road, changing the parcel from heavy manufacturing (M2) to rural residential (R5). Staff said the request aligns with neighborhood reinvestment goals.
The Whitfield County Planning Commission recommended approval for a rezoning inside the City of Dalton that changes a 0.25‑acre parcel at 911 Riverbend Road from heavy manufacturing (M2) to rural residential (R5) so the owner can restore electric service and renovate the historic dwelling.
Planning staff noted the structure dated to the 1950s and that nearby land uses include a mix of manufacturing and scattered residential properties; staff said the area has converging zone districts and identified the parcel within a town‑neighborhood revitalization character area intended to support reinvestment. Staff recommended approval.
Petitioner Juan Figueroa said he intended to renovate the house and restore it to occupancy. No public opposition was recorded. The commission voted to approve the rezoning recommendation; the item will proceed to city officials for final action.
