22-4797 — New Costco Warehouse in Lawrenceville, GA
Costco Wholesale is requesting two variances for a new 160,000 sf warehouse on an 18-acre site: permission to use architectural metal panels as primary exterior cladding (instead of as accents only) for sustainability benefits, and approval for 853 sf of building-mounted signage (instead of the code-allowed 400 sf) due to the building's distance from public roads. Both variances are based on the unique site size and Costco's corporate building standards.
