Buckner Crossing Hearing – Get the Facts
The Dahlhauser Group is asking for a change to the stipulations for this new shopping center currently under construction at the corner of Buckner Road and Veterans Memorial Highway. Their application asks for a new site plan and a change to the existing stipulations to allow an auto parts retail store and climate controlled self-storage.
The hearing on this application will be before the Board of Commissioners on July 17 @ 9am at 100 Cherokee Street in Marietta. Because it is not a complete rezoning, it is called an Other Business Agenda item and it is not heard by the Planning Commission. There is no need to attend the July 3 Planning Commission hearing; there will be no opportunity to speak on this issue. The Board of Commissioners will not be there and they are the decisionmakers on this application.
There has been a lot of interest in this application-which is just great!!! It’s good for our community! But there has also been a lot of confusion. If you want to have input on this application, here is what you should do:
