Explanation
Council Variance Application CV25-080
APPLICANT: Sukia Williams; 150 Cinnamon Oak Circle; Covington, GA 30016.
PROPOSED USE: Daycare center.
NEAR EAST AREA COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Approval.
CITY DEPARTMENTS' RECOMMENDATION: Approval. The site is developed with a former religious facility in the R-3, Residential District. The requested Council variance will allow the existing building to be re-purposed as a daycare center. A Council variance is required because the R-3 district only allows daycare centers when accessory to a school or religious facility use. Staff support the proposed use as no major alterations will be made to the site. Additionally, the requested parking space reduction is supported due to the inclusion of an on-street loading zone for pick-up and drop-off operations.
