Council denies rezoning request for 115 Atlanta Road after neighborhood opposition
Summary
The City of Gray denied a request to rezone 115 Atlanta Road from C-1 to C-2 to allow auto sales after Planning & Zoning recommended denial and two residents registered opposition; the motion passed unanimously, 5-0.
The City of Gray Mayor and Council voted unanimously to deny a request to rezone 115 Atlanta Road from C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) to C-2 (General Commercial), a change the applicant said was intended to allow auto sales.
Kaile Elliott is listed as the applicant seeking the rezoning. Planning & Zoning recommended denial, and two nearby residents—Alex Smith and Jocelyn Horton—voiced opposition during the P&Z hearing. Mayor Pro Tem James Collins moved to deny the request, citing the recommendation and potential negative effects on surrounding properties; Councilman Terrell Fulford seconded. The motion passed 5-0.
Why it matters: The council’s decision keeps the parcel under neighborhood-commercial zoning, which limits commercial uses such as auto sales. Neighbors’ opposition and the planning commission recommendation were noted explicitly as the basis for the council’s action.
The council closed the P&Z hearing and returned to regular business after the vote. No additional conditions or appeals were recorded in the minutes; the denial was entered as final council action for this meeting.
