One case got pulled before anyone even showed up. Francisco Garcia Sanchez’s rezoning (Z-1-2026) is withdrawn without prejudice, meaning he may refile in the future. That leaves 31 other items on the docket, and roughly a third of them aren’t being heard today either.
The 3 items worth your attention
Planning Commission wants to send Two Windy Hills, LLC home with a different zoning classification than the one they asked for. The company requested Light Industrial (LI) at 1718 Atlanta Road for a contractor office; the commission is recommending Tourist Services (TS) instead, which caps the property at specialized contractor or community retail use and prohibits outdoor storage other than parked vehicles. (Z-32-2026)
A Hickory Grove Road property is up for a rezoning that would turn it into senior living apartments. Prestwick Companies is asking to shift from RSL supportive to RSL non-supportive zoning, and the Planning Commission is on board with conditions covering transportation, utilities, fire, stormwater, and specific building elevation requirements. (Z-13-2026)
Branch Acquisition Company has been continued multiple times and lands on today’s agenda for a full hearing. (Z-21-2026)
