Published Oct 2, 2026

The Metropolitan Planning Commission recommended both 815 Wheaton Street amendments on September 15, and Savannah City Council has scheduled the paired future-land-use and zoning decisions for October 8.

Why it matters

The requests would replace the vacant site's industrial designation with Traditional Commercial-2, opening a broader mix of possible uses, but no specific development plan is attached.

What to watch

Savannah City Council is scheduled to consider the two amendments on October 8; agenda placement does not establish approval, denial, or deferral.

MPC staff now recommend approval of the 815 Wheaton St rezoning, after it was pulled in August

MPC staff now recommend approval of the 815 Wheaton St rezoning from Light Industrial (I-L) to Traditional Commercial-2 (TC-2), with a companion future land-use change, after the case was pulled from the Aug. 25 agenda so the applicant could rework the request; it returns to the Sept. 15 Planning Commission meeting with no MPC vote result yet posted in the public record.
