BFR2025-0002 — Multitenant shared kitchen facility with associated parking, driveways, dumpsters, and stormwater facilities in Lawrenceville, GA
This case involves a request to reduce the required 75-foot rear buffer to 37.5 feet (50% reduction) on a 0.23-acre BG-zoned parcel to allow development of a 2,300-square-foot multitenant shared kitchen facility. The reduction is justified by the lot's constrained depth (178 feet total) and small size, which would otherwise leave only a narrow buildable area when combined with the 50-foot front setback. Staff recommends approval with conditions including enhanced landscaping, screening of service areas, and controlled site lighting to minimize impacts on nearby residential properties.
