PTC Council okays apartment rezoning

The Peachtree City Council approved a rezoning for the Summit Apartments complex on MacDuff Parkway at its meeting last week.

Councilman Robert Brooks said the rezoning was a housekeeping matter to resolve the settlement of a lawsuit between the city and developers of the project. His motion to approve the rezoning from general commercial to general residential-15.

The 399-unit apartment complex is currently under construction by Summit Properties of Atlanta.

Jim Williams, the city's director of developmental services, told council that the complex meets the conditions of the development agreement that was hammered out as a part of settling the 1996 suit.

The density of the development, which is on a 27.2-acre tract of land, will result in approximately 14.7 units per acre.

During the public hearing, no one spoke in opposition of the rezoning. The matter took just a few minutes of the meeting, especially when compared to the Wal-Mart debate that preceeded it and lasted almost an hour and a half.
