Hoschton planning commission approves rezoning for city hall, police and park site
Summary
The Hoschton City Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously approved rezoning Z2404 to reclassify roughly 11.25 acres on the north side of Peachtree Road from R-1 (single-family) to Institutional, clearing the way for city hall, police facilities, parking and open space.
The Hoschton City Planning and Zoning Commission voted unanimously to approve rezoning application Z2404 to reclassify approximately 11.25 acres on the north side of Peachtree Road from R-1 (single-family low-density residential) to an Institutional district.
The change covers multiple parcels identified in the packet (listed as parcel numbers beginning 100) and specific street addresses including 84 and 42 Peachtree Road. The application, filed by the City of Hoschton as applicant and property owner, lists proposed uses as city hall and police facilities, parking, parks and open space. The city planner recommended approval.
The applicant’s representative told the commission the rezoning would align the parcel’s zoning with other nearby city-owned institutional properties. “The reason we are asking for this is just because all of our other properties are institutional, and we would just like to let this property as well line up with the rest of our properties,” the applicant representative said.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval and voted unanimously. The chair apologized for not asking for public comment before voting; the record shows no public speakers in opposition or public comment submitted on the item during the hearing.
The rezoning changes the parcel’s zoning classification but does not, in itself, adopt final construction plans or building permits; subsequent site-plan and permitting steps remain required before city hall or other facilities are built.
