Faced with a groundswell of opposition to a proposed $30 million shopping center off Zebulon Road, the Macon-Bibb County Planning & Zoning Commission voted Monday to delay a decision until next month on the necessary rezoning for the project.
Birmingham, Ala.-based developer Blackwater Resources plans to buy seven contiguous parcels totaling 25 acres between 5801 and 5885 Zebulon Road. The company plans to build a shopping center with 200,000 to 250,000 square feet of retail space, including five outparcels. Blackwater is developing the project under the name Development Co. LLC.
More than 130 people filled Macon City Hall council chambers, some standing along the walls, during the meeting. Many in the crowd carried signs opposing the rezoning.
After about two hours of testimony and discussion, commissioners voted 3-1 to defer the matter until Nov. 12, with Commissioner Al Tillman voting against the deferral. Commissioner Kamal Azar was absent.
