The Stockbridge City Council denied a rezoning request for 7.35 acres off Spivey Road and Hwy. 138 for the purpose of a public self-storage facility.
Henry County Planning & Zoning officials recommended approval of the change from C-2 (general commercial) to C-3 (heavy commercial) but the city’s Planning Commission and staff disagreed with that assessment and recommended denial, assistant city manager Camilla Moore told council members at their Oct. 8 regular meeting. A staff report noted the presence of adjacent properties zoned residential and developed with single-family homes.
Two speakers representing separate residential neighborhoods totaling nearly 300 homes expressed their opposition to the request. The motion to deny passed 5-0.
