The Peachtree City Planning Commission will get its new year off to a rousing start Monday night as several high-profile projects will be discussed.

The commission will get its first peek at four development proposals for:

• Somerby at Peachtree City, a senior housing development off Rockaway Road that will have townhomes, assisted living and memory care residences;

• A shopping center directly across Ga. Highway 74 south from Wilshire Pavilion;

• A 99,000 sq. ft. shopping center on Ga. Highway 54 at Planterra Way, the same site where a developer previously proposed to locate a Kohl’s Department Store. The new plan doesn’t include the Kohl’s or any big-box sized store, and it would leave the current design of Line Creek Drive and Line Creek Circle intact presuming the city declines the developer’s request to sell them; and

• A conceptual plan for the extension of MacDuff Parkway in Wilksmoor Village, which will link the artery with Old Senoia Road and Ga. Highway 74.

All four projects are on the agenda for the workshop format, meaning they are not up for a vote at this meeting. The workshop allows the commission and staff to share any concerns or suggestions of possible tweaks to plans before they are officially considered for adoption.

The meeting begins at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Also on tap are proposed zoning changes to the uses permitted in the limited industrial and general industrial zoning categories. The uses must be addressed after a judge ruled in a recent lawsuit that a retail business such as Lowe’s Home Improvement could be built on land zoned for industrial use under the city’s current zoning ordinances.
