Fayetteville Planning Commission will consider plans for a high-density subdivision for seniors at Grady Avenue and Beauregard Boulevard, and a 12-unit office development at Gingercake Road and DeVant Street during their work session next week.

The group will discuss its 12-item agenda at 7 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall, and will vote on those items the following Tuesday, Dec. 15, at 7:30. Commissioners normally have their work session on the first Tuesday and their action meeting on the third Tuesday, but this month's business meeting has been moved up a week due to the Christmas holidays.

Bob Adams Homes is proposing a change in zoning from R-30, a single family subdivision category, to RTHC, a category that allows townhouses and condominiums. The company hopes to develop about 100 single family homes designed for "active adults," said a spokesman.

Homes will be 1,200 to 2,000 square feet, and small lots will be geared to empty nesters, the spokesman said.

Central Building Supply is seeking approval of its plan for 12 office units on 7.61 acres at Gingercake and DeVant. DeVant Park would be just off Ga. Highway 54 behind a row of businesses.

A controversial plan for a commercial subdivision at Pine Trail Road and Ga. Highway 85 also is on the agenda Tuesday.

Concordia Partners Inc. says its shopping center will include Barnes and Noble, Linens 'n Things and Chilli's Restaurant, among other retail stores. Neighbors are protesting the firm's plans to put a curb cut on Pine Trail, and the company has been working on a compromise plan.

A development plan for the Lowe's superstore and shopping center also is on the agenda, but officials say the plan probably will be tabled. Detailed architectural and landscaping plans for the development may take another month to complete.

A retail center at Hwy. 314 and Banks Road, which includes an Applebee's and a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant, was tabled from earlier meetings. Commissioners have expressed concerns over the center's topography and the number of planned parking spaces.

Other agenda items include:

Revised development plans for Toys R Us in the Fayette Pavilion. Thomas Enterprises wants to enlarge the store previously approved as part of Pavilion phase two.

Development plans for a Waffle House restaurant on Hwy. 85 south of town. Officials say the restaurant will match the Waffle House on Hwy. 54 west.

Mary and John Ronas' request to rezone their property next to First Baptist Church from its current residential category to O-I (office-institutional).

An historic home on the property recently burned, and the family is seeking to redevelop the lot with an office building.

Annexation of one acre owned by W. H. Callaway at White Road and Ga. Highway 314, and rezoning of the lot to R-40, which allows homes on one-acre lots. The land was inadvertently left out of a previous annexation.

A development plan for an addition to Prince of Peace Lutheran Church on Hwy. 314.

Revised landscaping plans for the Apex office building next to Fayette Community Hospital.

Development plans for Steak and Shake on land owned by Thomas Enterprises next to Fayette Pavilion off Hwy. 85.

Rezoning from C-2 (commercial) to RTHC for phase two of Courtyard at Habersham, a duplex development off Commerce Drive. The plan is for five-to six duplex units.
