An applicant requested rezoning for a 1.43-acre parcel at 1810 Coffee Road during the City of Stonecrest community planning information meeting on Feb. 13, 2025.
The applicant, identified in staff materials as Michelle Battle of Battle Law, asked to change the property’s zoning from M-2 (heavy industrial) to M-1 (light industrial) under file RZ24-005 so two adjacent parcels can be consolidated and used as a paved truck storage lot to serve the nearby PepsiCo building.
The rezoning, presented by Jordan Battle, a zoning paralegal for Battle Law standing in for attorney Michelle Battle, described a paved lot behind the PepsiCo site that would function as a truck storage/parking area. Battle said the site “will come from behind the PepsiCo building and act as their truck storage parking lot.” He said 18-wheelers and other trucks “will be able to come in and out.”
A nearby resident, Renee Kale, asked how many trucks would be stored and specifically whether they would be “18 wheelers with diesel engines,” citing concern for surrounding residents. Battle said there was not a fixed number of trucks but estimated “about maybe 20 or so parking lots” and described the lot as transit parking where “on any given day, it may not be full.” He also said the parcel is more than 750 feet from nearby residential developments.
Staff materials shown at the meeting gave the parcel number as 1613202002, tax district 80 (Stonecrest), owner GTB GHA Coffee Road JV LLC, future land use “heavy industrial,” and an existing zoning condition listed as Z-73162.
No formal vote occurred at the information meeting. Staff and applicants were informed that the petition will be heard by the City of Stonecrest Planning Commission on March 4, 2025, with a subsequent mayor and city council public meeting scheduled in March (exact date not specified) for final consideration.
If the rezoning is approved by later bodies, the property owner and applicant would proceed with lot consolidation and site development approvals required by the city’s permitting process.
Contact information provided at the close of the meeting directs further questions to City Hall at (770) 224-0200 or planning-zoning@stonecrestga.gov.
