Board of Zoning Appeals - November 3, 2026

The City of Cookamo Board of Zoning Appeals met on November 3, 2026. The board approved the prior meeting’s minutes, then considered a special-exception request to operate an automotive repair facility in an existing building on two parcels off North Apperson. Staff clarified that vehicle sales are already permitted in the CC overlay, so no variance was needed for that use, and corrected the zoning designation in the agenda from HI to MI. The petitioner described plans to operate approximately 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; staff noted that permits, inspections, and a certificate of occupancy would be required before the business could operate. The board approved the request with an added condition to install a fence along the side adjoining the trail, with specifications to be coordinated with staff.

The meeting included no contract awards, purchasing decisions, budget allocations, or other procurement activity. Sewer access and restroom requirements were discussed, but no related project or spending action was approved.
