Commission approves future‑land‑use changes for townhome site but denies rezoning to R‑6 after finding plan fails some R‑6 standards

The Planning Commission Jan. 28 voted to approve future‑land‑use map amendments for two adjacent parcels along Old Atlanta Road and North Expressway that the applicant proposed to redevelop as a 77‑unit townhome community. Commissioners approved the FLUM amendments but later denied the companion rezoning requests to R‑6 (planned residential community), concluding the submitted site plan did not meet several R‑6 development standards.
