Owner seeks rezoning for former Biscuit Barn site; planning commission recommended approval with conditions
Summary
A property owner asked to rezone the former Biscuit Barn site on Marietta Highway from R40 to General Commercial and requested concurrent variances for setbacks and lot size; planning staff said the Planning Commission recommended approval with conditions limiting variances to existing buildings.
Staff presented a rezoning request for the former Biscuit Barn property on Marietta Highway to convert an R40 parcel into General Commercial and to allow concurrent variances so existing commercial buildings can remain despite nonconforming setbacks and lot size. "They're asking to rezone that property from R40 to general commercial," the planner said, noting the property contains two commercial buildings and that the owner seeks to regularize the use with variances limited to the existing structures.
The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning and variances with the condition that the variances apply only to existing buildings and not to future redevelopment. Commissioners asked procedural questions about grouping variance votes and staff said the requests could be handled together as long as the board is specific about which variances are approved or denied. The board did not take final action on the rezoning at this meeting.
