Developer proposes 61 townhomes and small commercial building under MIX zoning at Old National Highway
Summary
A developer presented a request to rezone 11.66 acres at 7185 Old National Highway from C-1 and R-5A to MIX to allow 61 townhomes and a small commercial/office building; the project will provide masonry facades, playground, sidewalks and parking and will proceed to required hearings.
At a March 3 City of South Fulton community zoning information meeting, an applicant described a rezoning proposal for 7185 Old National Highway in City Council District 7. The applicant requested rezoning from C-1 (limited commercial) and R-5A (single-family dwelling) to MIX (mixed-use) to develop townhomes and a commercial building on about 11.66 acres.
Charles Richards, project representative with Ironstone Consulting and Design, said the site is triangular and bisected by a high-transmission power line easement. He told the meeting the proposal includes a mix of 61 townhomes and a 1,700-square-foot building to be split between commercial and office uses to meet the MIX district’s mixed-use requirements. Richards said the units will be three-bedroom, two-bath townhomes with one-car garages and that the owner has committed to masonry facades on the front elevations.
Richards said the project includes a playground as required by the MIX district and sidewalks connecting the residential and commercial uses. He told staff and the public the townhome elevations and final drawings will be provided in time for the planning commission hearing if required.
In response to questions, Richards described parking provisions: 73 parking spaces adjacent to the retail/office building and roughly 10 spaces near the playground, plus one-car garages and driveway space for residents. He confirmed elevations will be submitted by the planning commission deadline.
No formal action was taken at the information meeting. The presenter and staff reiterated the April 7 public participation plan deadline and the April 16 planning commission and May 13 city council public hearings.
