Residents who recently moved near the site asked how development would affect tree cover, nearby ponds and traffic.

Henry Bailey, counsel for KMT Partners, said the site plan was revised to reduce total square footage from an earlier 1.8 million to 1.6 million square feet and that the project has completed a development of regional impact (DRI) review and a full traffic study. “This site is located immediately adjacent to Interstate 85,” Bailey said, noting multiple access points and that the applicant submitted an environmental site analysis as part of the application.

Several homeowners asked whether wetlands or ponds on adjacent parcels would be filled; Bailey said the project would not fill wetlands or streams that the plan identifies. Homeowners also asked about lighting and view impacts in winter months when trees are leafless; the applicant said lighting would not be “stadium lighting,” and staff and counsel said the team would discuss lighting choices and buffers during community outreach.

Residents asked about truck traffic and whether warehouses would run 24/7. Bailey said end users are not yet identified and that traffic patterns would depend on tenants; the traffic study included projected truck movements and was completed for the DRI process. Questions about power and water impacts were raised; the applicant said the kinds of light industrial uses planned are not expected to consume large continuous volumes of water and that final tenant selection would determine operations.

The applicant said some site details remain to be refined and that follow-up community meetings will provide more specific plans and answers. No council action or vote occurred at the April 7 meeting; the presentation was part of the early public-participation phase ahead of formal hearings.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Community Zoning Information Meeting 0/4/09/2025","oneSentenceSummary","KMT Partners presented a rezoning request April 7 to change multiple parcels on Roosevelt Highway from AG1 to M1 (light industrial) and to allow three large buildings totaling about 1.6 million square feet.

Reginald McClendon, managing director of community development and regulatory affairs, explained the request was sponsored by Councilmember Helen Willis and would also change the city’s future development map designation from Suburban I to Industrial Zone character area. McClendon said the city will host at least one public participation meeting and mail notices to neighbors.

Woody Galloway, attorney for RSC Investment Management, told the meeting RSC had assembled approximately 60 acres and said utilities are available: a major electrical transmission line bisects the property and multiple fiber cables run through the site. “One thing about data centers is they do need a lot of power, and this site has access to power,” Galloway said, adding that Georgia Power has allocated power for the site.

Galloway and residents discussed differences between conventional data centers and high‑power “mining” operations; Galloway said the proposed facility would be a large, permanent development with steel and concrete buildings and not a high‑noise mining operation.

Residents expressed multiple concerns. Eleanor Ross said nearby communities are “on high alert” about data centers’ potential impacts and asked developers to “differentiate yourself” from other projects with respect to noise, water and electricity. Galloway pointed to a city ordinance that sets noise limits at the property line — 65 decibels daytime and 55 decibels at night — and said developers can be required to adhere to closed‑loop cooling systems to avoid high water consumption.

Developers said third‑party studies show data centers generate substantial tax revenue after abatements — Galloway cited a prior Union City site that, after abatement, was projected to provide about $11.2 million annually to the hosting city during its first 10 years — and that data centers typically generate few daily vehicle trips beyond staff shifts and occasional equipment deliveries.

City staff and developers said they will schedule city-led and developer-led public participation meetings. Staff reiterated the process: mailed notices to property owners within the required radius, at least two public meetings and formal hearings to follow. No zoning decision or vote was taken at the April 7 meeting; the item is a city-initiated amendment advancing through the outreach phase.

An audience member asked whether other nail salons already operate nearby; the owner acknowledged there are other salons, including one near the Publix, and said ICON Nail Salon aims to be a complementary local service.

Staff treated the presentation as part of the required community outreach step for a special use permit.

Josh Mahoney, attorney for the applicant, said the project originally proposed townhomes and was withdrawn after community pushback. “Our latest plan actually is not showing 37 homes, but 33 homes,” Mahoney said, and he described lots averaging about 5,500 square feet and a 100-foot buffer at the city limit.

Audience members asked detailed questions about access and traffic. Eleanor Ross, a neighborhood resident, urged the developer to commission a traffic study and said the original plan had indicated an entrance on Felwood Place, a one-way street near her property. Mahoney and the applicant’s team clarified that the current site plan shows access from Springside Lane, not Felwood, and said they would make that point clear at the required community meeting.

Glenda Collins, who lives in Morning Creek subdivision, asked whether the developer had obtained permission from neighbors for the proposed connection to the existing dead-end of Springside Lane; the applicant said no final approvals have been secured and that the community meeting (targeted for mid-May) will include invited neighbors and mailed notices provided by the city’s GIS-based list.

Residents also pressed the developer on product type and materials. Mahoney said the builder intends to deliver “modern” for‑sale homes with higher‑quality exterior materials and that garage configurations will meet ordinance requirements; he did not have final bedroom/bathroom counts or price points at the community meeting. “I don’t have those details for you,” Mahoney told one questioner, and offered to follow up by email.

Mahoney said the developer is planning a public participation meeting in mid‑May at a city library if a location becomes available; he said he will finalize invitations after receiving the city’s mailing list. Planning staff reminded applicants that the public participation plan report is due June 9, 2025, before the planning commission hearing on June 18.

No formal action was taken at the meeting; the session was informational and intended to solicit community feedback ahead of formal hearings.

The applicant’s representative, Steve Rothman, said the project would increase density to about 1.3 units per acre from the current AG1 standard and described the request as consistent with the city’s comprehensive plan. “We’re asking a little more density,” Rothman said, adding the request is “well under the 2 unit to the acre recommended density.”

Neighbors raised several concerns about notice, lot size, tree cover and buffers. Michael Chapy, who identified himself as a District 4 resident, said the community opposed rezoning proposals in prior years and urged the developer to return with 1-acre lots rather than denser subdivisions. “We spoke loud and clear. We’re not in favor of additional density,” Chapy said, saying most surrounding lots are 1 acre or larger.

Brian O’Donnell, who lives on Ono Road, also questioned whether an earlier plan showing 200 units and a 100-foot buffer had been abandoned; Rothman said he had not seen a 200-unit plan in the materials before him. Residents also said road signs announcing the meeting appeared late or were in poor condition; planning staff said site-specific signs for these community meetings are not legally required but that the city would continue posting them as a courtesy.

Rothman described the proposed community’s amenities as including a clubhouse, swimming pool, walking trails, a large lake and open space; he said dog parks and tot lots were anticipated if the project advances. When asked about lot dimensions, Rothman described a mix of lot widths that later exchange at the meeting suggested included a variety of 50-, 75-, 85- and 95-foot road frontages as the plan was refined.

Rothman and residents disagreed about site acreage in the meeting record: the initial staff description listed 156 acres and 283 detached single-family homes; Rothman later referenced a 56-acre figure in describing the economics of one-acre estate lots. That discrepancy was noted by residents at the meeting and remains in the project record.

Planning staff reminded applicants that a public participation plan report is due June 9, 2025, and that planning commission and city council public hearings are scheduled for June 18 and July 8, respectively. Staff said applicants must submit the participation report before going to the planning commission or “we will recommend denial.”

The developer said a mailing list from the city is needed to schedule the required public participation meeting and that he would request the list and aim to hold the meeting after the planning commission’s May recess to allow sufficient notice.

Votes at this meeting: there were no formal votes or council actions; the session was informational and focused on outreach and plan refinement ahead of formal hearings.","Applicant for 0 Ono Road (Z25-009) is requesting rezoning from AG1 to Community Unit Plan to build higher-density single-family homes; the developer and residents disagreed over density, lot size, signage and outreach.
