The DeKalb County Board of Commissioners will discuss a rezoning application this week in the Auditorium of the Maloof Center, 1300 Commerce Drive. The applicant, 2030 Flat Shoals LLC, is requesting rezoning of the property at 2084, 2074, 2030 and 2022 Flat Shoals Road and 1743 Pine Trail.
The request is to rezone the area from a residential zone to a mixed use zone in order to develop 68 attached town home units on the 8.64 acre sized property. According to the development plan the building would be erected at a density of 7.4 units per acre.
Residents living in the area of the proposed development have voiced strong opposition to the rezoning with the main complaints that the planned construction is too big for the area. Many also say the project will completely change the character of the neighborhood. An email campaign has already been distributed to area homeowners detailing the rezoning request and its purpose.
