Commissioners grant 24-month extension on prior rezoning condition for Frasier Properties

The Coweta County Board of Commissioners granted Frasier Properties a 24‑month extension on condition number 5 of prior rezoning petition REZ22-13 (rezoned June 21, 2022). That condition had required obtaining a building permit within 36 months; the applicant asked that the condition be amended to require a land disturbance permit (LDP) by June 22, 2027.

Miss Blackwell said the rezoning covered roughly 3.37 acres at Old Highway 85 and Morgan Road and had been approved for a self-storage facility subject to 13 conditions, including the permit timeline. Neil Spradlin, representing Frasier Properties, told commissioners nearby large residential developments and high construction costs and interest rates had slowed the feasibility of moving forward. He said developers expected projects such as the Pollard and Silver Springs properties to break ground within the two‑year timeframe.

Commissioners discussed typical permit timelines and expressed concern about creating an open precedent for overly long extensions, but the motion to approve a 24‑month extension and to set a public hearing for June 2027 carried by voice vote. Staff will draft the amended condition to reference the LDP deadline and schedule the required public hearing process.

The board’s action extends the timeframe for Frasier Properties to secure required permitting and preserves the county’s ability to initiate rezoning again if the applicant fails to meet the new deadline.
