If Coweta County

planner Robert Tolleson has anything to do with it, the County Commission

will not allow the spread of mini-warehouses on Ga. Highway 34 west.

The commission

will conduct a public hearing Tuesday morning on a rezoning request from

Synergy Investment Group. The group wants 11 acres rezoned on the state

highway from rural reserve to C-8, heavy commercial.

Synergy wants

to build 14 mini-warehouses on the site, with a total of 80,000 square

feet.

In his report

to the commission, Tolleson urges the board to deny the application for

two reasons.

First, Tolleson

said heavy commercial is not conducive with the surrounding neighborhood.

"Associated

with the proposed use is warehousing and outside storage of materials.

This activity is unrelated and incompatible with other land uses nearby

and most likely would change the business character of the area,"

he said.

Second, heavy

commercial is not compatible with the Future Land Use Map, which calls

for more offices or light industry in the area.

Another interesting

item on Tuesday's agenda is a discussion of the county's sign ordinance.

Commissioner Leigh Schlumper has argued the ordinance needs to be tightened

to prevent the "visual clutter" she sees on Ga. Highway 34 east.

The meeting

starts at 9 p.m. at the County Administrative Complex on Perry Street

in Newnan.
