Fayetteville’s City Council is waiting until 2020 to vote on two downtown rezoning issues.
The council voted on Dec. 5 to postpone action until its meetings on Jan. 9 and 16, to allow more time to research the requests. The first regards rezoning 13.6 acres off Whitney Street for a 42-lot, medium-density residential subdivision modeled after the Apple Orchard neighborhood on Beauregard Boulevard.
Council members expressed concern about the site’s configuration and road access. The second pending proposal is for rezoning 8.1 acres just west of downtown on W. Lanier Avenue for a 63-unit, age-restricted complex of single-family rental cottages. The property was already rezoned for age-restricted development, but the new request replaces a previous plan for higher-density senior apartments.
Details for both January meetings will be posted at www.fayetteville-ga.gov.
