Rezoning for PTC home surrounded by church campus OK'd by planners By JOHN
MUNFORD The Peachtree City Planning Commission is recommending approval of a rezoning for a residential property that is being surrounded by a large church campus. Judy Bostick requested the property be rezoned to office-institutional, and the commission voted 4-1 to recommend such a change with several conditions. The .85 acre parcel is directly across Robinson Road from Mowell Funeral Home. The matter now goes to the City Council, which must approve the rezoning for it to take affect. Jim Williams, the city's director of developmental services, said the development underway by Peachtree City United Methodist Church has "effectively isolated the house." The conditions for the rezoning include limiting the property to use for business and professional office uses or financial service businesses. Also, the only access to the property will be on Robinson Road instead of Old Stagecoach Road. The recommendation to approve the rezoning passed 4-1 with commissioner Rich Schumacher against. Several commissioners expressed concern that they didn't want to see this create other similar changes in the area, particularly in nearby subdivisions. Williams said the city had approved allowing office development on the land in its 1995 update to the land use plan. In other business, the commission approved a concept plat for a 22.8-acre industrial subdivision adjacent to Avery Dennison. The proposal, from Group VI, involves cutting in a road from Avery Dennison's access to Hwy. 74 that will run through the property and link with TDK Boulevard. Carl Lange of Group VI said the plans to provide nine parcels adjacent to Avery Dennison's lake property of Hwy. 74 could change in the future. The commission also approved a landscape plan for the Peachtree City Tennis Center's expansion. The project, which includes covered tennis courts and a separate building for offices and a restaurant, is slated to finish in June. The plan was developed by City Planner David Rast, who is also a certified landscape architect, to save money on the project. The commission also approved a landscape plan for the Commemorative Air Force's hangar facility that will be located on Echo Court in the Falcon Field business park area.
