AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY

Receive comments regarding a request for a special use permit to allow for a Places of Assembly (PAO) to utilize a structure located at 814 Experiment Street as a multi-use activity center. Toussaint Kirk, Director of Planning and Development, will address.

The applicant’s request for a special use permit to operate a multi-use center to include church facilities at 814 Experiment Street has been reviewed in accordance with requirements outlined under Section 406 and 408 of the City of Griffin’s UDC. Planning Staff has found that the request for the Special Use Permit for a Places of Assembly at this location is in compliance with the requirements outlined in the zoning ordinance. Operating a multi-use activity center at this location will not be a detriment to the use and development of adjacent properties. The current development has been vacant and the addition of the ministry will revitalize this underutilized structure in the City of Griffin. 

A Special Use Permit is required to designate the subject property as a Places of Assembly (PAO). The purpose of the PAO district is to encourage the beneficial development of assembly uses and to properly regulate such uses in a non-discriminatory manner.
