Planning commission approves special-use permit allowing pallet company to continue operating
Summary
Chris Hoffman told the commission that his pallet business operates in Barrow County and seeks a special-use permit to remain; commissioners approved the permit with conditions after staff and the applicant explained the operation and history.
Chris Hoffman, the owner seeking a special-use permit for a pallet company at 312 2nd Avenue in Winder, described a family-owned operation that aims to provide jobs and community supports. He said the business is community focused and, when asked how long the site has been a pallet company, stated it has been so for "about 30 years."
Staff reviewed the compliance history and explained the prior grandfathering had lapsed under the previous owner. After discussion, a commissioner moved to approve the special-use permit with conditions; the motion passed by voice/hand and will be transmitted as the planning commission’s recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.
