Panel approves removal of billboard restriction with GDOT coordination, over one dissent
Summary
The commission voted 4–1 to remove a prior stipulation preventing a billboard and added two conditions: the owner must coordinate GDOT permitting and set back future improvements to allow SR 92 widening per GDOT plans.
The commission reintroduced application 2026-04-SPSA, a request tied to prior rezoning (2007-40-Z) that would remove a prior stipulation to allow a billboard on an 8.25-acre B-2 property along SR 92 north of Jimmy Lee Smith Parkway. Staff recommended removing the requested stipulation but proposed two new conditions: require coordination with the Georgia Department of Transportation on billboard permitting and require the owner/developer to set back future improvements to accommodate planned widening along SR 92 (GDOT PI 0020051).
Because the case had been tabled previously, Chairman Jacob Wix waived a new public comment period. Jonathan Jones confirmed his client was amenable to staff's recommendations and acknowledged awareness of a letter in opposition from the Hardy family. The commission voted to remove the prior stipulation and add the two GDOT-related conditions; the motion passed 4–1 (Ellis Astin opposed). The recommendation will be forwarded to the Board for final action.
