Commission backs Hull Road rezone to Commercial General; sewer connection required before land disturbance
Summary
The commission unanimously recommended rezoning three Hull Road parcels from Commercial Rural to Commercial General; staff conditioned approval on verified sanitary sewer connection before land disturbance permits are issued.
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of a rezone for three parcels at 1065/1075/1085 Hull Road, changing the zoning from Commercial Rural (CR) to Commercial General (CG). Staff said the request brings the parcels into closer alignment with the future land‑use designation (general business) now that sewer has been extended to the corridor and that recent development in the area supports the change.
Staff’s approval included a condition: no land‑disturbing permit shall be issued until a viable sanitary sewer connection is demonstrated and approved by the Athens‑Clarke County Public Utilities Department. The condition reflects that the sewer main sits on an adjacent parcel and an easement or connection must be platted and verified before the parcels can be developed.
The applicant said a restaurant operator had expressed interest, and the owner expects future development that could provide neighborhood retail and services. The commission’s unanimous recommendation moves the rezone to the Mayor & Commission for final action.
Ending note
The rezone aligns with the updated future land‑use map for the corridor and will proceed to Mayor & Commission; utility coordination is required before permits.
