Peachtree City planning commission delays McDuff Parkway rezoning, adds golf-cart parking item to next agenda

The Peachtree City Planning Commission on Sept. 22 postponed a rezoning request for 1102 McDuff Parkway and voted to add a proposed golf-cart parking text amendment to its next meeting agenda, while staff said a separate proposed amendment to Land Development Ordinance Article 11 (vegetation and landscape requirements) remains postponed for further discussion.

The commission’s postponement of the rezoning request followed staff notification that an error in the public advertisement prevented action on the item. A staff member told commissioners, “Staff is asking to, withdraw this item off of the agenda at this time. We are not to have any actions due to a mishap on the re on the actual advertisement. So we're moving forward without any actions on this item tonight.” Commissioners then moved and voted to postpone the public hearing; the item will return to the commission at a later, to-be-determined date after the required notice period and review by City Council.

The commission also voted to add consideration of a golf-cart parking text amendment to its next Planning Commission meeting. Commissioner Chris moved to add the item and the motion carried on a voice vote. Commissioner Chris described the proposal as allowing up to five parking spaces in a required parking count to be substituted with golf-cart spaces, saying, “I'd like it to be added to the, the next Planning Commission agenda.” Commissioners discussed that, if initiated, the amendment would follow the standard process: commission consideration, referral to City Council, council discussion, and potential return to the commission for final action.

Separately, staff said the previously listed text amendment to the Land Development Ordinance, Article 11 (vegetation and landscape requirements), has been postponed. A staff member said leadership requested more opportunity to discuss the proposal and that the item will be brought back after those conversations occur.

During the meeting the commission approved the minutes from the Sept. 8, 2025, Planning Commission meeting as submitted. Staff also updated commissioners on Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) work: staff said the city budget that enables funding for a potential consultant was approved the previous Thursday, that compiling existing ordinances completes phase 1 of a three-phase process, and that consultant work is expected to be a year-plus effort. A staff member asked commissioners to share available dates for additional training, and commissioners were told UDO committee meetings were scheduled later in the month, which staff referenced as the 13th and the 27th in discussion.

Looking ahead, the rezoning request for 1102 McDuff Parkway and any draft UDO or LDO amendments will return to future agendas after required notice or additional internal review and council action where applicable. The commission adjourned after routine business and staff reminders about training and committee scheduling.
