Plan Commission reviews zoning request for temporary shelter on Roosevelt Highway

The Planning Commission meeting held on June 18, 2025, in South Fulton, Georgia, focused on several key zoning cases, including a significant proposal for a site on Roosevelt Highway.

The meeting began with the approval of a motion to defer a case, which will now be discussed at the next meeting on July 16. Following this, the commission moved on to its regular agenda, addressing three related cases: Z25-010, U25-003, and CDP25-005, all concerning the property located at 3965 Roosevelt Highway.

The primary request involves rezoning the property from agricultural (G1) to limited commercial (C1) status. Additionally, the applicant is seeking a special use permit to establish a temporary shelter at the site. There is also a proposal to amend the future land use designation from suburban neighborhood to accommodate these changes.

The staff report for these cases was presented, and the commission engaged in discussions regarding the implications of the proposed changes. The outcome of these discussions will be crucial in determining the future development of the area.

As the meeting progressed, attendees were reminded that those whose cases had already been heard could exit, allowing new speakers to present their cases. The commission's decisions on these zoning requests will be significant for the community, impacting local development and land use in South Fulton.
