21-2026 — Mixed-use residential development with 175 rental dwelling units, community amenities (clubhouse, pool, dog park, trail, pavilion), dedicated public community park, and conservation area in Fairburn, GA
This is a rezoning request from AG-Agricultural and O-I (Office & Institutional) to Planned Development for a 21.89-acre mixed-use residential development called NextMetro with 175 rental units (52 one-bed, 70 two-bed, 53 three-bed) at 8.0 dwelling units per acre. The proposal includes a concurrent variance request for relief from the multi-family perimeter restriction, which prohibits multi-family uses along property perimeters except adjacent to existing multi-family or more intense uses. Community opposition focused on traffic and density concerns.
