Summary
The council unanimously approved rezoning of an 8.3-acre parcel on Newnan Crossing Boulevard East to permit a 33-townhome development; developer GHV Newnan LLC proposed prices and sizes in the application.
The Newnan City Council unanimously approved a rezoning request for tax parcel 098 A 295 on April 15, changing the property from O-I-1 (low-density office and institutional) to RU-7 (urban residential single-family dwelling, high density) to allow construction of 33 townhomes.
The applicant, GHV Newnan LLC, proposed 33 townhomes on 8.3 acres along Newnan Crossing Boulevard East. Submitted plans in the council packet show townhome floor areas between 2,324 and 2,390 square feet and garages between 497 and 502 square feet. The application listed an expected market sale price of about $900,000 per home, subject to change with 2026 housing prices, and projected the first homes could be ready for sale in 2026 if rezoning and development approvals proceed.
About 2 acres of the site would remain undeveloped to preserve natural features including streams and floodplain areas. City legal counsel Bridal Sears asked about the city's responsibility for maintaining a segment of the multiuse link on the property; City Manager Cletus Phillips said the maintenance burden would be limited if the city was not required to come within a specified radius of the creek.
Designs and additional project details are available in the council agenda packet. The council first approved the planning commission recommendations and then approved rezoning unanimously.
