80-242 — Mixed-use residential community with 175 rental units (52 one-bedroom, 70 two-bedroom, 53 three-bedroom), amenities, conservation area, and dedicated public park in Fairburn, GA
NextMetro seeks to rezone 21 acres from agricultural and office/institutional zoning to Planned Development for a 175-unit multifamily rental community, conflicting with the Comprehensive Plan's Suburban Neighborhood designation which emphasizes lower-density single-family housing. Staff recommends denial due to inconsistency with adopted planning policies, insufficient traffic and infrastructure analysis despite community concerns about congestion and stormwater runoff, and compatibility issues with adjacent residential uses, though the project would introduce housing diversity and contribute a dedicated public park.
