Description

Travis Burke for Kansa Travel Centers, LLC Petitioner (File No. 20-001475-ZA) is requesting to rezone 14.82 acres from an I-H (Heavy Industrial) zoning classification to a B-C (Community Business) zoning classification. The subject property is an undeveloped parcel located at the southwest corner of Jimmy Deloach Parkway and Crossroads Parkway. It is located within the Crossroads Business Center. The business center is a planned development that was established in 1994 by the Savannah Economic Development Authority (SEDA). SEDA is the Declarant of the Business Park. In conjunction with the creation of the Crossroads Business Park, restrictive covenants and development standards were enacted by and recorded by SEDA. While the subject property is located within a Master Planned Business Park that is currently zoned I-H, the rezoning of one parcel to B-C to permit other non-residential business uses should not negatively impact the existing commercial uses or the business park. Rezoning would also provide other uses that could complement the existing business park and provide a greater flexibility of development options.

On May 19, 2020, the Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the  petitioner's request to rezone the subject site located at the southwest corner of Jimmy Deloach Parkway and Crossroads Parkway from the existing I-H (Heavy-Industrial) zoning classification to a B-C (Community-Business) zoning classification based on the findings identified in the staff report.
