The Cherokee County Board of Commissioners has approved a special-use permit, with conditions, to allow a church to be built on Arnold Mill Road east of Woodstock.
The request, for a 4.76-acre parcel at 626 Arnold Mill, was made by the First Christian Church of Roswell doing business as Journey Christian Church, according to a staff report to commissioners.
A church ordinarily would be an allowed use under the site’s R-40 zoning, except the size of the proposed building makes the special-use permit necessary, staff said. The church initially would open with 200 seats and ultimately could be expanded to 400 seats.
Commissioners also approved concurrent variances to allow parking within the front yard setback area and grading within a buffer area, with conditions limiting the building size to 30,000 square feet, and parking to 168 spaces; requiring that a traffic study be done; and restricting rear parking to when the building is in use, among other requirements.
