Newnan annexes 423 Jefferson Street after owner agrees to connect to city sewer
Summary
The council approved annexation and R-U-7 zoning for 423 Jefferson Street, an unincorporated island property whose owner agreed to annexation in order to connect to the city sewer system.
The City of Newnan unanimously approved the council-initiated annexation of 423 Jefferson Street and assigned it R-U-7 (urban residential single-family dwelling, high-density) zoning after a public hearing on June 17.
Council staff said the property was an unincorporated island — a tract inside city limits but under Coweta County jurisdiction — and the owner requested connection to the city sewer system because of a failing septic tank. The owner agreed to annexation to receive service. The annexation had been discussed previously as one of several unincorporated islands at the council meeting on March 13, 2025. Coweta County did not object to the annexation request, and the planning commission recommended annexation with R-U-7 zoning following its public hearing. No members of the public spoke for or against the annexation at the council hearing.
Why it matters: annexation will bring the parcel under city land-use and service jurisdiction and enable the owner to connect to the municipal sewer system. Council approved the annexation and rezoning unanimously; the meeting transcript did not list a roll-call tally.
