AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

ITEM SUMMARY:

Receive comments regarding a request to rezone the property located at 657 North Expressway consisting of 7.03 +/- acres from Planned Commercial Development (PCD) to Institutional (INST), submitted by Barbara Jo Cook on behalf of SCTC Foundation. Director of Planning and Development Toussaint Kirk will address.


SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS OR CONCERNS:

The applicant’s request for rezoning stems from the 2008 SPLOST referendum passed by the County voters that included a referendum for Griffin Technical College, now SCTC, as a recipient of funds to promote education under the banner of SPLOST equals jobs. The SCTC Foundation will oversee the renovation of the property for the college whose use will be the Georgia Film Institute. This is a new program at the college that will train students for jobs in the production of movies, commercials, and content used in advertising and promotional settings. Staff feels that rezoning the parcel located at 657 North Expressway from Planned Commercial Development (PCD) to Institutional (INST) will yield the highest and best economic use for this property.
