17-2026 — Single-family residence in Fairburn, GA
George Murray is requesting a variance to reduce the building setback requirement from 15 feet to 10 feet for a new residential property he owns in Fairburn. The variance is based on the unusual size and shape of the lot and would allow optimal utilization while maintaining neighborhood aesthetic standards. Developers should monitor this case if similar setback constraints affect their projects in Fairburn's residential zones.
