Commission forwards Oconee Office Partners increase in building area with conditions
Summary
The commission recommended conditional approval for Oconee Office Partners LLC (P250205) to increase allowed building area from 86,000 to 105,000 sq ft, subject to facade, sidewalk, access and sewer-certification conditions, and a second-entrance requirement tied to fire access.
The Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions of a modification to a prior rezoning that would increase the total allowed building area in a regional-center development from 86,000 to 105,000 square feet (P250205, Oconee Office Partners LLC). Staff listed standard conditions including permitted façade materials (brick/stone/glass), sidewalk connections, and limits on direct lot access to the proposed interior street. Staff also required that any private sewer collection tie to a public manhole be certified complete by Water Resources before a certificate of occupancy is issued and that the total building area not exceed 105,000 square feet.
Owner and developer Kevin Price said the original 86,000 limit reflected septic-system constraints and that a private sewer solution now makes a larger total building area feasible; he said the developer will provide an emergency-only second entrance to meet fire-access requirements if and when needed. Commissioners asked questions about sequencing of the second entrance and how the cap would be enforced; staff explained the cap and second-entrance requirement would be enforced at the time of permitting and final platting. The commission voted to forward a conditional approval recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.
