Should Sandy Springs rezone Roberts Drive?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
On Tuesday, Sandy Springs-based Lefko Group will ask the City Council to approve their plans to tear down three single-family homes on 3.2 acres along the south side of Roberts Drive and build 19 single-family homes in their place.
While the plan falls under the density required by the city’s Comprehensive Land Use Plan —which allows 8 to 12 residential units per acre in that area—many residents say its approval would signal a renege by the City Council on its promise to protect Sandy Springs’ neighborhoods.
Developers, looking to build in this growing North Fulton city, say the project’s denial would send a clear message that the land use plan is not always upheld and the rules of the game can change midway.
How do you think the city should vote?
