Council OKs rezoning of Amanda Place lot with 50‑foot buffer after residents pressed for protections
Summary
Warner Robins council approved annexation and rezoning of 10104 Amanda Place to C‑2 with stipulations to protect adjacent homes — including a mayor‑backed amendment expanding an opaque, year‑round buffer from 25 to 50 feet — and agreed to coordinate enforcement with the county before the Sept. 1 effective date.
Council members voted unanimously to annex and rezone a 4.53‑acre parcel at 10104 Amanda Place, but residents’ repeated comments about nighttime noise, dumpster activity and loss of neighborhood character shaped the conditions attached to approval.
Councilman Curtis moved to permit the rezoning from R‑1 to C‑2 subject to specific stipulations: no commercial access from South Amanda Place or South Houston Lake Road, access to be via interparcel connectivity and a required enhanced natural buffer. In a subsequent amendment he successfully increased the buffer requirement to 50 feet. “The existing natural buffer along the property line shall be enhanced… to result in a complete buffer totaling 50 feet,” Curtis said when offering the amendment. The council asked staff to coordinate with the county to inspect current informal use of the triangular parcel and to monitor compliance once annexation is effective Sept. 1; assistant director Vic Savage said city staff can begin coordinating with the county immediately but cannot issue citations until the property is officially inside the city.
