Fayetteville Planning and Zoning commissioners approved an annexation and rezoning request Oct. 25 designed to lead to the construction of two 40,000 square-foot medical and professional buildings on Ga. Highway 54 West.

The proposal called for the annexation and rezoning of two parcels totaling eight acres along Hwy. 54 between Yorktown Drive and Hickory Avenue with a proposed O and I zoning. The property is currently zoned for Office and Institutional.

The site is the current location of one of Advanced Aesthetics’ offices. Owner Dr. Paul Feldman plans to close his Jonesboro office and consolidate his practice at the Fayetteville office, developer Mike Tallant said.

The site is just west of Deep Forest subdivision and across the highway from Fayette Medical Center.

Tallant said the project would include two 40,000 square-foot buildings at a cost of $7 million each, with Advanced Aesthetics occupying 10,000 square feet in the first building constructed.

Five thousand square feet of space will also be dedicated to an ambulatory surgery center, he said.

The project, he added, would benefit the city on several levels. Tallant told commissioners the remainder of the office space would used by medical and other professional organizations and would not house retail businesses.

“These will be nice office buildings,” he said at the commission’s Oct. 11 meeting. “They will enhance property and aesthetic value and they will add significantly to the city’s tax base. They will be more pleasing than stick-built buildings and they will continue the city’s upgrade construction.”

Proposed access to the property will be via a shared drive off Hwy. 54. The buildings will share parking and will be connected by a landscaped walkway with adjacent garden areas, he said.

Tallant said the first building constructed would sit closest to Hwy. 54 and would possibly be positioned parallel to the road. The second of the two buildings is anticipated to sit perpendicular.
