RA-01-2026 — Convenience store with gasoline filling station, fueling canopy with six fuel pumps, and white-box retail space in Villa Rica, GA
Apex Nexus Investments seeks to rezone a 1.56-acre parcel from agricultural to commercial zoning to develop a high-impact convenience store with gasoline filling station on Dallas Highway. The proposed development raises compatibility concerns due to inadequate buffering (10 feet proposed vs. 30 feet required) between the commercial use and adjacent residential property, and staff recommends denial based on land use conflicts and infrastructure deficiencies. If approved, the project would be subject to multiple conditions addressing buffer yard compliance, traffic impacts, septic and stormwater management, and GDOT access approvals.
