2023-07-SUP — Pawn shop business (relocation of existing business from 3393 Villa Rica Hwy to 7033 Villa Rica Hwy, operating under new business name New Georgia Pawn Shop) in Paulding County, GA
Thomas Ray seeks approval to relocate his existing pawn shop business to a new location on Villa Rica Highway in a B-2 zoned area. The approval includes five stipulations, including a non-transferability clause, compliance with federal/state/local regulations, access determination during plan review, right-of-way dedication along Jack Weldon Drive, and a variance to reduce rear building setback from 40 ft. to 30 ft. This project is a permitted use in the B-2 district and poses minimal neighborhood impact as it involves relocation of an existing business type.
