Description

The petition of Carlton J. Ray of Drayton Parker Companies, LLC is to rezone 1750 Grove Point Road and 1754 Pine Grove Road (PINs 10993A04001 and 10993A04002) from the County's P-B (Planned Business) zoning classification to the City's B-C (Community Business) zoning classification. The property located 1758 Pine Grove Road (PIN 10993A05001) shall maintain Chatham County’s R-A zoning district. The intent of these districts and their permissible uses are different. In Chatham County, the P-B zoning district’s intent is the managed creation and allowance of districts that accommodate heavy commercial and industrial uses through the P overlay designation. The uses allowed in the zoning district are intense and include, for example, Storage yards and Self-storage mini-warehouses.

 

The City of Savannah’s B-C zoning district allows for less intense uses, such as retail, restaurants, and mixed-use construction. While the B-C zoning district allows for some intense uses, these are managed through use limitations and special use permits. Chatham County’s R-A zoning district allows for less intense uses and serves to protect rural areas from commercial encroachment.

 

Additionally, while the B-C zoning district allows for less intense uses, the parcels do not currently maintain access to Abercorn Street. The assemblage has access to Grove Point Road, a collector street, and Sweetwater Station Drive, an unclassified street.
