N03-0004 — 8 townhomes, 259 apartments (mix of 1-3 bedroom units), and 7,700 square feet of commercial space with shared amenities including clubhouse, pool, and LINC trail connection in Newnan, GA
This rezoning would increase residential density from 2.8-3 units per acre to 41.7 units per acre in a downtown redevelopment area. Staff assessment indicates the proposed density is inconsistent with the surrounding historic neighborhood character and would generate significant impacts on police, fire, and school services, with police projecting 730 additional calls and $41,250 in personnel costs over two years. The project would introduce 267 residential units (8 townhomes and 259 apartments) with associated traffic and infrastructure demands on constrained downtown streets.
