The scale of such uses is generally 2,400 to 6,000 square feet. The location of these establishments is expected to be on local streets off the main routes, thereby reducing customer volumes and fostering walking. Accordingly, a maximum floor area of6,000 square  feet will be applied to uses int the C-1 district. Sec. 98-4.6.2. C-2General commercial district Sec. 98-4.6.2.1. Purpose.  The purpose of the C-2 district is to address the consumer goods and services needs of commuters and visitors traveling on the city's arterial highways. Properties zoned C-2 tend to be developed in auto- dependent uses, featuring ample parking and "single purpose" shopping trips. Architectural style and building materials standards are not as strict as those found in the Neighborhood Commercial and Downtown districts in recognition of the tendency of the latter properties to command higher land prices and the relative lack of available land in those walkable settings. C-2 uses, including locations in Thomaston, tend to be national chains each with unique branding through signature building materials, A_wide range of permitted uses characterize the C-2 district, excepting those uses that may have detrimental effects on the environment and neighborhoods that often abut commercial development to the  architectural design and color.  rear.

The purpose of the DT Downtown District is to promote a mixed use, intense utilization of land dedicated to attached residential, office, institutional, retail and service uses. As the County Seat and home to the Upson County Courthouse, any new construction and renovation! in thel DT district must comply with strict standards. These standards and procedures for ensuring new development is consistent with historic development of the downtown are found in Chapter 58 - Historic Preservation. Examples of actual properties developed in the downtown and judged to be representative of desirable development and the Secretary ofthel Interior's" "Standards for HistonricPreservation Projects,"i "includingt! the Secretary's' "Standard The Cily of Thomaston Master Plan references a number of historically significant buildings located ini the Downtown Study Area, both residential and institutional, that complement the Secretary of the Interiors guidance. These examples form the backdrop for analyzing the appropriateness of proposed renovations and new construction. A number of the historic homes mentioned are the Atwater, Crawford, Gibson, Historically significant sites include the R. E. Lee Institute, Glenwood Cemetery, the Old First Methodist Church, the Grace Primitive! Baptist Church, the! First Baptist Church, and the ThomasomupsonAthves. Implementation measures featured in the Plan include "greenspace and open space protection,". amid "downtown development." Accordingly, measures are adopted to preserve existing green space in the historic downtown and to mandate preservation of appropriate greenspace on development and A'zerol lot line" development patter characterizes the downtown and building heights are set byt the directly adjacent properties. Parking ratios are relaxed given the historic development of the downtown. However, given the historic parking shorlages in many downtowns, proposed changes in use of property shall be monitored to ensure that proposed uses that generate higher parking demand and regulated as such by this ordinance comply with the parking requirement prior to approval of the change in use. Similarly, given the close proximity of buildings in the downtown, uses that may have adverse impacts on adjacent and nearby uses may not be approved at particular locations based upon those impacts.

ChurchSt. BUILDING OFFICIAL REVIEW  Zoning Request: Rezoning from R-1 (Low-Density Residential to C-2 General Commercial)  The applicant MKLG Holdings, LLC, has requested: a zoning change for the property located at 754S. Church St. The current zoning is R-1 designatedi for low density residential use. The applicant seeks tor rezonet the propertyt to C-2 which would allow for general commercial uses. The parceli is approximately 0.74 acres and currently contains a vacant building in previously used as at take-out restaurant. Thej propertyi is located along a state andi federal highway, U.S. 19, a majorthoroughfare in Thomaston witha mix of residential: and commercial uses. North adjacent to the property are residential parcels. Adjacent to the property to the east is a single-family residential dwelling. West adjacent is the cemetery. To the: southeast is the location of the] justice center currently under construction. The property has a power transmission line going over itj just to the north. The comprehensive plan designates this lot for residential development: according to the character area map. C-2 zoning would likely increase traffic however, the propertyi is already located on a major arterial road with the capacity to handle increased traffic. C-2: zoning has the potential to increase noise andi traffic to an area. At the time ofthis review, the Bullding Safety Department has not received any letters or notices from surrounding lots. No development plans have been submitted at this time. Staff's recommendation: is approval oft the: zoning change from R-11 to C-2 for the following reasons: 1.The property isl located alongar major arterial road which is suitable for commercial use. 2.The property is locateda alongasplt/merger. of Church Street and Center Street, therefore receives  heavy noise and trafficalready.  3.The existing building on the property is ac commercial: building.  Staff's recommended conditions would be allowing only for food and beverage occupancies and applying height restriction to any proposed signage to reduce visual impact on nearby residences as wellas parking lot and existing structure be brought to current regulations before occupancy. Though the comprehensive plan designates this loti for residential development, due to the existing conditions on the property and its proximityt to transmission lines às well as being located at a major junction between two arterial roads, thel lot does not appear to bel best suited for residential  development.  gebe Bapter  08/15/2024 Date  J6hn Baxter-dhyofThonmston Building Official    $3 F4.

We would like the opportunity to learn what other Tree Boards are doing, make contacts and perhaps bring some ideas home to Thomaston.

Other sessions discuss improving urban tree canopy to combat the hotter and dryer climate. All taught by experts in their respective As City Council is aware, Tree Board members have worked for many years to help educate our community on the importance of trees, we've brought in naturalists, given away books, worked with children, spoken at local civic organizations, given away over 500 saplings, partnered with our local As Chair of Tree Board, Ifeel that attending the conference will be informative, revitalize our Board Here is a breakdown of expenses - we would share 1 room and pay for gas and food (unless you will  fields.

We currently offer a $500 bonus to any personnel who recruits a POST certified officer for vacant PD positions. The bonus is payable upon the new officer successfully completing their initial 6 month probationary would like to propose that we increase the bonus amount to $1,000. Iwould also propose that the bonus funds be paid out of vacant PD budgeted positions. Once we are fully: staffed we can discontinue the program. By funding it out of vacant positions it will not create. a financial burden on the current City! budget. Paying a $1,000 bonus is a much greater incentive for our employees while recruiting a certified officer is a tremendous savings to the city verses training new non-certified officers. All city employees would be eligible for the recruitment bonus regardless of department. Iwould like to make this change effective as soon as possible ifa approved. Thank you for your consideration.  period. Since the program started, we have only issued two checks in two years.
