Council approves annexation and B-2 zoning for 2.96-acre parcel at 432 GA Highway 26 for planned Circle K
Summary
The Cochran City Council unanimously accepted the annexation of 2.96 acres at 432 GA Hwy. 26 and assigned B-2 Community Business zoning to facilitate a planned Circle K convenience store and gas station, conditioned on platting and recording.
The council accepted an annexation petition from the Riley M. Grantham estate for a 2.96-acre portion of a larger parcel at 432 GA Highway 26 to allow access to city water and sewer for a planned Circle K convenience store and gas station.
Ginger Asmus, representing the Grantham estate, spoke in favor of annexation so the parcel could connect to city utilities. County Commissioner Mike Davis told the council the site sees about 15,000 vehicles per day and urged the city to capture tax revenue from that traffic for local benefit.
Council Member Shane Savant clarified the annexation covers only 2.96 of a 5.27-acre parcel and that the annexed portion will need to be platted and recorded as a separate lot. Lonnie Tedders moved to accept the annexation with a condition that the parcel be platted and recorded; Gary Ates seconded and the council voted unanimously to approve the petition.
At a separate public hearing the council also voted unanimously to assign B-2 Community Business zoning to the newly platted 2.96-acre parcel. No speakers registered opposition to the zoning recommendation.
Council recorded that the annexation and zoning approvals are conditioned on platting and recording and that any development will be subject to applicable permitting and compliance requirements.
