This request was tabled at the July 19, 2021 Planning Commission meeting.

Applicant Proposal

The applicant is requesting to rezone the subject property from Agricultural-Residential-IV (AR-IV) to

Planned Industrial Development (PID) for warehouse and distribution facilities. The proposed facility

will include three (3) buildings of various sizes totaling to 380,000 square feet in area. The warehouses

will facilitate the distribution of dry goods and possibly food-grade and general commodities, but not

refrigerated or frozen goods. The proposed design of the buildings include tilt-wall concrete and cross

docks with truck courts, as well as reveals and clerestory windows to enhance the building’s aesthetic.

As the property falls within the Gateway Corridors Overlay District (GCOD), the applicant requests

certain variances from this section of the code:

§17.420.050.C.1.c. Transitional Buffers –Transitional buffers are required along and inside the

property line at the perimeter of a planned development district that abuts single-family

residential zoning or uses, in accordance with the requirements of this subsection, but no

transitional buffers are required between dissimilar uses within the planned development

district.

o There is a 50-foot buffer depicted along the southern and eastern property on the

submitted site plan.

The applicant states that as the rear property line is heavily wooded and will

not be disturbed during construction, it is requested that no additional planting

be required in this area.

§17.420.050.D.5 Visual blending of slopes – Cuts and fills shall be terraced to blend into the

natural terrain. Cut or fill slopes more than ten feet in height shall be landscaped with evergreen

shrubbery planted at the rate of ten shrubs per 100 lineal feet.

2.

o The applicant states that as this is a light industrial development, it is requested that

this screening requirement be waived along Athens Highway (US Hwy. 129), Roy

Parks Road, and the rear property line.

§17.420.050.F.2.b Outdoor Lighting – Parking lot, sidewalk, and building illumination – Only

incandescent, florescent, metal halide, low-pressure sodium, or color corrected, high-pressure

sodium may be used. The same type of lighting must be used for the same or similar types of

lighting on any one site.

o The applicant states that as technology has improved since the adoption of the code,

it is requested that more energy-efficient LED lighting be installed and utilized.

§17.420.050.G.2.b Interparcel Access – A design speed of 15 mph and a two-way travel aisle

with a minimum paved width of 22 feet (back of curb to back of curb). Paving, base and curb

specifications shall meet Hall County's standards for public streets.

o The applicant states that the private access drive design will be designed to

accommodate anticipated truck traffic for the site and this requirement be waived

because this will not be a public road.

§17.420.050.G.2.d Interparcel Access – Driveway aprons, stub-outs and other design features

to indicate that abutting properties may be connected to provide cross access via a service

drive.

o The applicant states that while the private access road will provide vehicular access

between buildings, there will be no pedestrian connection between buildings. The

applicant asks that this requirement be waived.

History and Existing Land Uses

The subject property consists of 66.85± acres and is zoned Agricultural-Residential-IV (AR-IV). The

property is undeveloped and a mix of open and wooded areas. A stream is located near the western

boundary, and an overhead power line easement runs north and south through the middle. The

property has frontage on both Athens Highway (US Hwy. 129) and Roy Parks Road.

Adjacent properties to the west and across Athens Highway are also zoned AR-IV, and developed

with single-family residences or agricultural uses. The Bluffton Subdivision is located to the east, zoned

Residential-I (R-I) and is partially developed. Across Athens Highway are two cold warehouse facilities,

which are both zoned Light-Industrial (I-I). Across Roy Parks Road is a property zoned Planned

Commercial Development (PCD) for a gas station.

The subject property also falls within the Gateway Corridors Overlay District (GCOD), which is

supplemental to the underlying zoning district classification. The GCOD governs non-residential

property development standards.

Comprehensive Plan Land Use Designation

The subject property is located within a Mixed-Use/Revitalization corridor according to the Future Land

Use Designation. The primary future land uses within this type of corridor are for retail, office, higher

density residential (including multi-family), civic uses, and open/park spaces. Developments within this

corridor should be low-impact industrial or higher-density residential only where the same is found on

adjacent properties. The proposed use is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan as the adjacent

parcels are zoned Residential-I and Agricultural-Residential-IV. The parcel is separated from the non-

residential zoned properties by existing right-of-ways.

The corridor is primarily developed with large agricultural tract the subject parcel; however, the

immediate area across Athens Highway is also zoned I-I and there is a commercial development

across Roy Parks Road. Additionally, there has been recent non-residential and non-agricultural

development along this corridor to the north and south, though no rezoning requests have been

approved on adjacent parcels.

Development Support and Constraints

Public Facilities

The subject property is located approximately 2.5 miles from Hall County Fire Station #1, located at

2460 Athens Highway. There are multiple fire hydrants along Athens Highway and Roy Parks Road in

front of the subject property.

Hall County Environmental Health

In an email dated July 7, 2021 Emily McGahee stated that the development “Must meet all

Environmental Health commercial septic system permitting requirements. Further determination will

be made during the civil plan review process. A detailed business plan must be submitted to Hall

County Environmental Health for review. Additional items, including, but not limited to: recorded plat,

soil evaluation, and septic system installation may be required after review of business plan.”

Hall County Public Works and Utilities

In a memorandum from Public Works and Utilities on July 8, 2021, Director Srikanth Yamala stated

Water Service

Per Hall County GIS, there is access to public water along Athens Highway.

Georgia Department of Transportation

In an email dated July 9, 2021, Parker Niebauer, a Traffic Operations Supervisor with GDOT, stated

that this project will require GDOT coordination.

Zoning Analysis

The proposed use for light manufacturing and warehouse/distribution facilities is inconsistent with

the Comprehensive Plan designation of a mixed use/revitalization corridor as the proposed

development is adjacent to single-family residential zoned parcels.

o The current corridor is primarily developed with large agricultural tracts in close proximity

to the subject parcel although there is nearby I-I zoned property.

It is anticipated that future development along Athens Highway may trend towards

more intensive non-residential and non-agricultural uses and would be classified

differently in an updated version of the Comprehensive Plan.

Per §17.180.090.B.2 of the Official Code of Hall County “The development controls for the district

shall be detailed (lot coverage, setbacks, building heights, lot sizes, etc.). If standards are not

specifically proposed, then the applicable standards in the light industrial (I-I) district, together with

the screening and buffer requirements, shall apply.”

6.

The GCOD provides guidelines for non-residential property development. The guidelines apply to

both permitted uses and development standards.

o Within the GCOD, the following uses are prohibited: adult entertainment, junk yards, and

billboard signs.

o Uses subject to the approval of the Hall County Board of Commissioners include: self-

storage warehouses, vehicle sales lots (new or used), automobile repair and maintenance,

commercial outdoor recreation, car wash, and outdoor storage.

Per §17.420.050.D.2.a, a ten-foot wide landscape strip is required along each street frontage,

continuous along the frontage except for perpendicular crossings for driveways and utilities.

o This is not depicted on the applicant’s submitted site plan; this condition is not met.

Per §17.420.050.D.4.d, all outdoor storage shall be screened from view from public streets and

adjacent property by a permanent opaque enclosure consisting of a minimum eight-foot high solid

fence or wall.

o No outdoor storage is proposed; this does meet the GCOD standard.

Per §17.420.050.C.2.C, the transitional buffers where an industrial zoning district abuts property

zoned for residential or agricultural use shall be no less than 50 feet and shall be placed along the

inside property line of the non-residential property.

o The applicant is requesting a buffer variance for the rear boundary where existing

vegetation shall not be supplemented with planting; this does not meet the GCOD

standard.

Per §17.420.050.D.3, if a loading or service area is located within 50 feet of a side or rear lot line

abutting residentially zoned property, then the loading or service area shall be surrounded by either

a six foot height masonry screening wall, or a six foot height solid wooden fence placed on the

inside of the required landscaped buffer.

o According to the site plan, this condition is met.

Per §17.420.050.E.4.A, each parking area over 50 spaces shall include landscaped islands within

the parking area equivalent to not less than five to ten percent with planning director discretion of

the total paved area of the parking lot.

o The narrative and/or site plan does not show landscape islands within the parking area,

this does not meet the GCOD standard.

Building materials for all four sides of a new building are restricted to the following: brick, stone,

and glass or glass block. Up to 50% of the surface area of each side may be stucco, and up to

50% of the surface area of each side of a principal building may be split-face block/concrete

masonry unit. Concrete block, painted concrete block, tilt-up and pre-cast concrete are not

allowed.

o The applicant is requesting a variance to allow exterior walls of the building to be tilt-

up or pre-stress concrete wall panels.

o This condition is not met.

Per §17.420.050.H.3, roof materials for pitched roofs shall be limited to architectural grade

composition shingles, natural slate, natural terra cotta, natural wood shake, or factory finished

metal with standing seams.

o The applicant is requesting a variance to allow an industry standard roof for construction

of this type to be a 60mil white TPO membrane roof.

o This condition is not met.

Per §17.420.050.F.1 outdoor lighting shall be provided on all public streets and parking lots.

o The applicant is proposing LED exterior lighting; this condition is not met.

7.

§17.250.020A of the Official Code of Hall County lists the following minimum parking standards

for the development:

o Office, office building or studio: 3.5 spaces for each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area

(§17.250.20A)

o Warehousing: 1 space for each 2 employees (§17.250.20A)

o Industrial uses: 1.6 spaces for each 1,000 square feet of gross floor area (§17.250.20A)

The applicant shows proposed parking for each building on the site plan; this

condition has been met.

The following recommendations have been provided by Hall County Traffic Engineering:

o Improve Roy Parks Road from Athens Highway (SR11/US129) to site access to Hall

County industrial/commercial standards.

o Provide a left turn lane on Roy Parks Road for site access.

o Development construction and business commercial traffic only be permitted to use Roy




o Improvements to Roy Parks Road must be constructed concurrently with site development.

o It will be the developer’s responsibility to coordinate Roy Parks Road improvements with

the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and acquire any necessary permits.

o All costs associated with improvements will be the developer’s responsibility.

o Site access along Athens Highway (SR11/US129) must be approved and permitted

through the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT).
