Commission approves special‑use permit for 357 S. Milledge Avenue
Summary
The commission approved a special‑use zoning amendment allowing commercial‑office to accommodate proposed restoration and reuse at 357 South Milledge Avenue, including two variances; the project will proceed to the historic preservation commission for design details.
The Athens‑Clarke County commission approved a special‑use permit for one parcel at 357 South Milledge Avenue after a brief presentation by the applicant and limited discussion among commissioners. The motion, moved and seconded by commissioners on the floor, carried without recorded opposition.
Applicant Mason Spinks said his firm is the civil engineer and applicant for the project and that the team — including the project architect and a BYX representative — would be available to answer follow‑up questions. "We are the civil engineers and applicant on this project," Spinks told the commission while noting the project would proceed through historic preservation review for final details. Commissioners expressed support for restoring the property and moving the design through the preservation process. The commission approved the ordinance language and directed staff to process the variances and next steps with the preservation commission.
