Dec 28, 2018Two “islands” of property on the border of Peachtree City and the town of Tyrone have been annexed into Peachtree City.
The City Council voted 5-0 on Dec. 20 to absorb the two parcels, totaling 42 acres, according to provisions of the Georgia Annexation Law, which applies to unincorporated property that is completely surrounded by one or more municipalities. In this case, most of the property was bordered by Peachtree City. The Fayette County Board of Commissioners agreed on Dec. 13 not to object to the annexation.
The council also voted to rezone the property from agricultural-residential to limited-use residential, which would permit future development into a maximum of 83 single-family lots.
