Commission approves rezoning for convenience store and storage at Highway 81 with conditions
Summary
The board rezoned 7.486 acres at Highway 81 and Bay Creek Church Road to B‑2 for a convenience store with fuel and contractor storage, subject to five planning‑zoning conditions including a 10‑ft landscape buffer and specified transportation upgrades.
The commission approved a rezoning for 81 Investment Company LLC to convert 7.486 acres from A‑2 to B‑2 for a convenience store with fuel pumps and associated storage buildings. Andrea Gray, representing the applicant, described a high‑end design and a traffic study that showed an estimated 422 daily added trips on Bay Creek Church Road and 466 daily added trips on Highway 81; the applicant agreed to add center turn and right‑turn deceleration lanes and to plant a 10‑foot landscape buffer.
Planning staff noted five conditions recommended by the planning commission, which the applicant accepted, including architectural treatments, prohibiting outdoor storage in the storage area, and transportation upgrades per Georgia DOT recommendations. The board moved, seconded and approved the rezoning with those conditions.
