Three potential developments are on the Augusta Planning Commission’s agenda for Wednesday, Jan. 4, including two projects in south Augusta.
Jeb Boggus has petitioned the Planning Department to rezone two parcels along Windsor Spring Road totaling about three acres, just north of the Hephzibah city limits, from B-1 Neighborhood Business and R-1 One-family Residential to B-2 General Business.
The accompanying letter of intent shows plans to build a gas station and convenience store at the site, which is at the intersection of Windsor Spring and Willis Foreman Road. Alongside a 5,000 square foot building, improvements on the property would include gas pumps, 37 parking spaces and a storm system.
Beazley Development Company has requested to rezone two tracts of land and a portion of a third owned by GA Baptist Children’s Homes, totaling about 189 acres. The tracts are along 3596 and 3630 Windsor Spring Rd., and 3047 Manchester Dr.

Beazley aims to change the land from Agricultural to One-family Residential zoning in order to develop a new subdivision consisting of more than 350 detached single-family units at about 1.87 per acre.
The lots would vary between 50 to 80 feet wide, for one and two-story homes. The neighborhood would include new residential streets and sidewalks. Plans also include a 40-acre nature area with walking trails, but not a clubhouse or pavilion.
The Planning Commission is also scheduled to hear the petition of Dr. William Salazar, on behalf of local medical services nonprofit AsociaciĂłn Latina de Servicios del CSRA, to rezone properties at 904 and 916 Merry St. from P-1 Professional Office and R-1C Single-family Residential to Neighborhood Business.
The organization plans to renovate the existing building on the properties and accompanying parking space for use as a 2,184-square foot medical office and free clinic to serve the surrounding community.
