Fayetteville’s new commercial landmark was approved April 24 by the city’s Planning and Zoning Commission. That approval will bring the 39,000 square-foot Main Street Office Center to 320 Lanier Ave., the western entrance to downtown Fayetteville.

The three-story Regions Bank and office/medical building is situated on 2.74 acres on Ga. Highway 54 on Fayetteville’s west side where Lanier Avenue and Stonewall Avenue split into one-way streets.

The first floor exterior will be cast stone with the second and third floors in brick. Planning and Zoning commissioners approved the development plans with several conditions.

The conditions specified the use of Bellingrath brick, that the curved canopy from a previous rendering be used rather than the straight canopy shown in the most recent rendering and that striping indicating the exterior separation of floors be brick stripe rather the white stripe.

Commissioners required other modifications such as the incorporation of a name of historic significance on the headstone that will be positioned just below the roof line, that a new stormwater plan be submitted and the cornice treatment be revised.

The building will be positioned in the center of the property, the highest point of elevation, with the majority of the proposed parking spaces located on the east and west sides of the building.

Commissioners May 8 will consider three variance requests relating to the project. Those relate to parking issues, including a reduction in the number of parking spaces from 195 to 155, and establishment of a 10-foot buffer.
