The Petitioner requests an amendment of the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from Commercial-Suburban and Residential General to Planned Development.  The request is made concurrently with a request to amend and augment the Godley Station Planned Development (PD) Map and Text, which were originally adopted in 1999. The change will align this particular undeveloped portion of the PD with the policy scheme and approach established with Plan 2040 and NewZO

The Planned Development designation will indicate that future development on the site is dictated by associated (subsequently adopted) Master Plans and/or General Development Plans aligned to the proposed PD standards.

The PD amendment is requested in connection with a proposed development that will utilize three existing parcels to create new commercial, industrial and residential/mix-used pods of development that more closely reflect current market demand.

Among the proposed mix are a food retail anchor, +/- 940,000 square feet of warehouse, and a mixed-use commercial/residential pod with a range of housing types and both community and neighborhood-scale non-residential uses with the potential for a neo-traditional configuration.

On August 5, 2024, the MPC Development Services Staff initiated a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) application. On October 29, 2024, the Coastal Regional Commission issued a final report with comments from the City of Savannah and the Georgia Department of Transportation.

On December 19, 2024, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request to amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) from a designation of Commercial-Suburban and Residential-General to Planned Development.
