Commission rezones Water Level Highway parcel to C2 for buyer's proposed office

The Bradley County Regional Planning Commission approved a rezoning request to change a parcel on Water Level Highway from F to C2 (general commercial). Travis Henry, representing the buyer, said the property is owned by Gibco Construction and fronts Water Level Highway near existing commercial development; the buyer, Paul Ridg(e)way, plans to build an office and sought flexibility for compatible commercial uses.

Bentley told commissioners the parcel is vacant and is contiguous with commercial parcels. Commissioners had no substantive objections and approved the rezoning by roll call.

The rezoning approval allows the buyer to pursue an office and other uses permitted in C2; any uses requiring additional review or permits will follow the county’s zoning procedures.
