Local brief
Church rebuild request marked on hold despite Nov. 18 hearing notice
The Planning Commission agenda labels the 86 Mount Vernon Highway case an administrative hold; it gives no reason or replacement hearing date.
A church rebuilding request at 86 Mount Vernon Highway is marked “Administrative Hold” on Sandy Springs’ Nov. 18 Planning Commission agenda—even though a public notice advertises a hearing that evening.[1][2]
The request we previously covered, U-26-8, seeks a conditional-use permit for Sandy Springs Methodist Church, Inc. to rebuild a place of worship in the RE-2 zoning district. The city’s case register lists the case under staff review.[2][3]
Both the agenda in the meeting packet and the separately issued agenda carry the hold designation. Neither explains the reason or supplies a replacement hearing date. They identify a hold, not a decision approving or denying the permit.[1][2]
The commission meeting itself is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 18, in the Studio Theatre at Sandy Springs City Hall, 1 Galambos Way, Sandy Springs, Georgia. The church case’s appearance on that agenda should not be read as confirmation that a substantive hearing will occur that night.[1]
