Commissioners ask city and developer to address traffic and density in Pea Ridge annexation response
Summary
The board voted to respond to a proposed Pea Ridge Road annexation with staff comments and additional requests: ask the city and developer to participate with the county and GDOT on intersection improvements, request consideration of reduced densities to match the county land‑use plan, and raise fire/emergency access concerns.
Planning staff briefed the board on a proposed annexation by Pea Ridge Land Investments, LLC of 62.17 acres to the City of Canton seeking PDMU (planned development mixed use). The proposal includes two pods, approximately 215 residential units (pod counts presented as "2 15" in the transcript), commercial development, and a proposed donation of seven acres to the Charlie Ferguson Community Center.
Staff emphasized transportation and density concerns: pod densities were calculated at about 3.3 and 5.5 dwelling units per acre respectively, and staff flagged potential traffic impacts given a pending 199‑unit project nearby. Chairman Johnston proposed adding a request that the city and developer join the county and GDOT to improve the Pea Ridge/Valletta/Highway 140 intersection if any access is granted. The board voted unanimously to send the city staff comments plus the chair’s and Commissioner Carter’s additional requests, including suggesting a reduction in density to better match the county’s future land‑use plan.
