Buford commission grants special-use permit to Communion House for church at Faith Industrial Boulevard with parking and use limits
Summary
The commission approved SUP-26-01 to allow Communion House to operate a church at 2730 Faith Industrial Boulevard, with conditions that the permit applies only to Communion House (expires if it leaves), weekly daycare is not authorized, parking must be verified by seat count or mitigated, and written landlord permission is required.
The Buford City Commission approved Special Use Permit SUP-26-01 on March 2 to allow Communion House to operate a church at 2730 Faith Industrial Boulevard. The applicant was not present for the hearing; no public opposition was recorded. The motion passed 3-0.
Conditions attached to the permit specify that the approval applies only to Communion House and will expire if the church vacates the building. The permit explicitly does not authorize weekly daycare. The applicant must provide the city with the number of seats in the main auditorium so staff can determine whether existing parking meets code; if parking is insufficient, the applicant must present a solution. Written permission from the landlord must be provided to show Communion House may use an adjoining parking lot. The record also notes that this approval does not relieve the applicant of any requirements of the Zoning Ordinance or Development Regulations.
Commissioners recorded the vote and closed the public hearing portion of the meeting. The conditions make the permit contingent on verification of parking capacity and landlord permission before operations relying on the adjoining lot would proceed.
