Information Only - Cases ANNX2601-003 and RZON2601-004 - Request to Annex and Rezone 4.2 Acres at 2521 Reinhardt College Parkway - Zoning Administrator Steve Green

This agenda item concerns a request to annex and rezone approximately 4.20 acres of land located at 2521 Reinhardt College Parkway. The applicant, Joel Mero of Merodynamic Pools Inc., seeks to change the zoning from Cherokee County's R-40 (Single Family Residential) to the City of Canton's GC (General Commercial).

The proposed use for the property is administrative and operational support for a pool company, including office space, employee meetings, and construction plan reviews. A new 40-foot by 60-foot accessory storage building is planned for non-hazardous materials only; no chemicals will be stored on site. The property will not be used for retail sales or high-traffic commercial activity, with limited operating hours (9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday-Friday) and minimal parking for approximately 8-10 employees.

This request follows a denial of a rezoning request by Cherokee County on January 6, 2026. The annexation would bring the property under City of Canton jurisdiction and standards, promoting land-use consistency along Reinhardt College Parkway and supporting local economic development. The item is for discussion and presentation only, with staff recommendations to be provided prior to the action meeting.
