Title
9. Petition of Derek Bergeon on Behalf of Securcare Properties II, LLC to Zone ~5.7 Acres at 1721 Grove Point Road (PIN 11004 02007) from P-B-1 (Planned Business Limited) to P-B-1-CO (Planned Business Limited – County) to Support Annexation (File No. 24-002597-ZA)

Description

The Petitioner is requesting to zone approximately 5.7 acres located at 1721 Grove Point Road from P-B-1 (Planned Business-Limited) to P-B-1-CO (Planned Business-Limited-County) to support the annexation of this parcel into the City of Savannah. Until recently, the Property obtained water from a well located on an adjacent property. This well has since closed, and the property is now without running water. SecurCare Properties II, LLC requests annexation into the City of Savannah to enable the property to connect to the 12-inch water main located in the Grove Point Road right-of-way and restore water service. The property currently functions as a self-storage facility with related office space and intends to continue operating in this manner.

 

Section 1.6 of the Zoning Ordinance states that property annexed into the City boundaries may, by adoption, retain and be incorporated into the City’s zoning map under the County’s zoning district applicable to the property at the time of annexation. This is accomplished by approving the zoning designation and adding the suffix “-CO” (for County) to the zoning district to show that the County’s zoning shall apply to the annexed property.

Recommendation

Approval of the request to zone approximately 5.7 acres located at 1721 Grove Point Road from P-B-1 (Planned Business-Limited) to P-B-1-CO (Planned Business-Limited-County) to support the annexation of this parcel into the City of Savannah. A Future Land Use Map amendment to apply the Commercial-Suburban category, or another appropriate category based on a proposed zoning district, should be pursued prior to rezoning the property to a City of Savannah zoning district or prior to additional development of the property.
