Physical attributes from public recordsZoning & alternative use
I-1 · Garden City, GAEast - truck terminal, zoned I-1 and undeveloped, zoned R-A (unincorporated Chatham County); West - Salt Creek, zoned R-A (unincorporated Chatham County). 2. Is this spot zoning and generally unrelated to either existing zoning or the pattern of development of the area? Within the city limits of Garden City, several other small, industrially zoned properties are located to the east. These properties are not contiguous to the subject properties. The majority of the properties along US 17/Ogeechee Road in Garden City are zoned commercial. 3. Could traffic created by the proposed use or other uses permissible under the zoning sought traverse established single-family neighborhoods on minor streets, leading to congestion, noise and traffic hazards? The subject property is located on US 17/Ogeechee Road just east of Dean Forest Road. While it is not anticipated that traffic on residential streets will be impacted, the ingress/egress will be across the street from Salt Creek Boat Ramp and Park and the Progressive Recreation Center. US 17/Ogeechee Road is a four-lane highway with a center, dual-left turn lane. Trucks leaving the site to access Dean Forest Road, the Georgia Ports Authority, and I-16 will make a left turn across US 17, which is of particular concern. 4. Will this request place irreversible limitations or cause material detriment on the area similarly zoned as it is or on future plans for it? This property is located directly across from the Chatham County Park and Boat Ramp, which is the only boat ramp in Garden City and includes a community park with a pavilion, picnic tables, and playground. This is also a major gateway into Garden City for travelers heading north on US 17/Ogeechee Road. US 17 is also the north/south corridor of the Georgia Bicycle Route for coastal Georgia as designated by the Georgia Department of Transportation. Two of the adjacent properties are also zoned as residential-agricultural. Rezoning of these properties to industrial could have a detrimental impact on the area. 5. Is there an imminent need for the rezoning and is the property likely to be used for the use requested? The property, if rezoned, would likely be viable for a warehouse facility, particularly close to the Savannah Port of the Georgia Ports Authority. 6. Would the proposed use precipitate similar requests which would generate or accelerate adverse land use changes in the zone or neighborhood? The rezoning of this property could increase pressure on the additional in the vicinity to petition for industrial zoning. 7.
