Rezoning proposals from PTC staff to be considered by Planning Commission By JOHN
MUNFORD
Now that Peachtree City's land use plan has been approved, the Planning Commission will begin considering a host of rezonings proposed by city staff as "housekeeping" measures. Most of the rezoning proposals involve changing the zoning of properties to their current uses, which takes a number of parcels zoned for general residential off the books. Most of these parcels are either churches, city property or school-related and will be rezoned as open space. Other rezoning requests involve changing the zoning for residential areas to accurately reflect the manner in which they were developed. Although the timetable isn't firm yet, the commission will likely begin considering the rezoning proposals at its May 27 meeting, going through the list village by village. Individual property owners will be notified so they can provide input, City Planner David Rast told the commission at its regular meeting Monday night. "Overall for the most part I think it's going to be pretty straightforward," Rast said. "This is mainly housekeeping. There are no real controversial rezonings as they've had in the past with the land use plan update." In other business, the commission approved a concept plat for the 28-lot Lexington Place subdivision that will be located off Walt Banks Road adjacent to the Southern Trace subdivision. The subdivision will feature alleyways at the rear of the homes so the garages won't have to face the street, said Dan Fields, Vice President of John Wieland Homes. It also will have a small passive park separating it from commercial and retail development in the Lexington Circle project. Fields said the company planned to use covenant restrictions to make sure no more than 20 percent of the homes could be leased at one time. The commission approved the plan 4-1 with commissioner Robert Buckley against. Buckley said he felt the plan didn't integrate well with the Lexington Circle plans. The commission also unanimously approved a landscape plan for the second phase of the Curtis-Gross Medical Office located on Shakerag Hill.
