| Title 17. Petition of C. Scott Burns of Coastal Engineering & Consulting, on behalf of the Property Owner, Mehul Sheth with DM Investment Holding, LLC, for a Future Land Use Map Amendment from Transportation/Communication/Utilities to Traditional Commercial for 3.12 acres at 815 Wheaton Street (20033 12033) in Aldermanic District 2 (26-004033-ZA) | |
| Strategic Priority GOAL 1: Increase Public Safety and Our Collective Sense of Security | |
| Description The Petitioner requests a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment from Transportation/Communication/Utilities to Traditional Commercial as it more appropriately reflects the mixed development pattern of the surrounding area and is generally consistent with the Urban Core Character Area and applicable policies of Plan 2040 regarding compatible infill and redevelopment. The property is located along Wheaton Street in the Eastside neighborhood, immediately south of the railroad crossing and near the Chatham County Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS) office, The Cove at Dundee Veterans housing community, and Hubert Middle School. The petition is filed concurrently with a request for an amendment to the Zoning Map from Light Industrial (I-L) to Traditional Commercial-2 (TC-2) under File No. 26-003931-ZA. Variances to development standards of the requested zoning district cannot be considered until a decision is made for the rezoning by City Council.
| |
| Recommendation On September 15, 2026, the Planning Commission recommended approval of the request to amend the FLUM from Transportation/Communication/Utilities to Traditional Commercial. | |
