Agenda item Z26-0054 appeared on the April 2, 2026 Walton County Planning Commission agenda. The application requests rezoning of 11.50 acres from A1/A2/R1 to B1 for a convenience store with gasoline stations, retail and quick-service restaurants and a public golf range. The applicant is listed as Reed Creek Food Mart, LLC and the owner as James William Burson II; the property is identified as 2069 Highway 11 and Mountain Creek Church Road, Map/Parcel C0860040 in District 6.
Notably, the agenda line explicitly lists a requested variance to encroach into the 75-foot stream buffer. The transcript excerpt provided contains only the agenda listing; it does not record any staff reports, environmental analysis, public testimony, or whether the commission took action on the rezoning or the variance request. The presence of a buffer-encroachment variance on the agenda signals an environmental consideration that may draw comment from neighbors or county staff during a full hearing.
