Commissioners approve rezoning at 2630 Eatonton Highway to allow a Dollar General
Summary
Morgan County approved a rezoning request to change 5 acres at 2630 Eatonton Highway (Tax Parcel 046-005A) from AG to C2; the Planning Commission recommended approval 5–2 and the applicant said two acres would be developed as a Dollar General and three acres combined with adjacent ACE Hardware.
The Morgan County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a zoning map amendment changing 5 acres at 2630 Eatonton Highway (Tax Parcel 046-005A) from AG to C2. Duke Groover, Esq., representing the applicant, told the board that "the 5 acres will be split: 2 acres will be developed into a Dollar General, and 3 acres will be combined with the ACE Hardware property." The Planning Commission had recommended approval by a 5–2 vote and noted community concerns about building appearance and urged consideration of commercial architectural design standards.
The applicant and Planning staff confirmed the proposal complies with C2 minimum size requirements and that combining the remaining three acres with the adjacent ACE Hardware lot requires zoning approval because parcels with different zoning designations cannot be combined under Morgan County rules. The Board approved the zoning amendment by motion; the minutes record the motion as passing unanimously.
