VAR-2026-02 — Building addition with cantilevered shade awning for office building in Forest Park, GA
This variance request permits a cantilevered shade awning to extend to the property line at an existing office building on Main Street, requiring a front yard setback reduction from 10 feet to zero feet. The variance is limited to the awning as shown in submitted plans, and any substantial modifications would require additional City approval. This case demonstrates the City's willingness to support pedestrian-oriented improvements in the Downtown Mainstreet District.
