Georgia-Pacific parking lot reconstruction variances
Summary
The city's newer landscaping rules for big parking lots collided with a century-old mill that needs every stall it can get. The board sided with the mill, trading landscaping requirements for new lighting, fencing, and better stormwater treatment.

Impact analysis
Compliance would have cost Georgia-Pacific about 70 parking spaces and forced a more expensive redesign of the reconstruction project.
Georgia-Pacific employees and the mill's operations keep full parking capacity, and neighbors get an upgraded fence and lighting.
The lot will lack the green buffers, shade, and stormwater landscaping the code now expects of new or reconstructed lots.
