Council approves 20‑lot infill rezoning at Jones Bridge and Fox Road
Summary
Council voted to approve RZ250001, a 20‑lot single‑family infill development near Fox Glen, with staff and Planning Commission conditions including perimeter buffering and stormwater controls.
The council approved a rezoning request for two parcels near the Jones Bridge Road and Fox Road intersection (RZ250001) that will create a 20‑lot single-family subdivision with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet on the smaller tract. Community Development Director Song summarized staff analysis showing the site would be compatible with surrounding uses, that traffic generation was low (approximately 230 daily trips) and that Fulton County water and sewer have confirmed adequate capacity. Staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval subject to revised conditions including a 40-foot perimeter setback and enhanced buffer treatments adjacent to Fox Glen.
The applicant (represented by counsel for the Providence Group) described plans for higher-end homes with underground stormwater detention to preserve usable green space and committed to enhanced buffering and a shadow-box privacy fence along the Fox Glen property line. A motion to approve, carried by council vote, adopted the Planning Commission’s conditions. Council members noted the proposal would convert a landlocked and underused C-1 parcel into residential use while addressing existing site maintenance and visual issues.
