Land Use Designation: Office/Professional
Environmental Impacts
The property does not lie within the floodway and floodplain area. The

developer will need an approved drainage plan prior to issuance of a Site

Development permit, if a permit is required.
City Services
Properties are served by all city services.
Traffic Impact
The traffic impact for the project was determined by looking at a convenience

store with gas sales using 8 pumps. Talbotton road is scheduled to be widened

within the next year. This segment will be four lane, which will change the

level of service (LOS) to B. Projections have this section dropping to a LOS of

C. This would take it to the current level of service we see today. This site

is compliant with all the new right-of-way (ROW) for the Talbotton Road

improvement and is in compliance with GDOT setbacks from the future

right-of-way.
