Z25-036 — 162 cottage-style apartment units with private garages, driveways, fenced yards, clubhouse, pool, playground, dog park, and nature trails in South Fulton, GA

BTR Group is requesting rezoning of 30.13 acres from agricultural use to allow 162 cottage-style apartment units at a density of 5.38 units per acre, which also requires a Comprehensive Plan amendment from Suburban Neighborhood I to II. Staff recommends denial because the proposal lacks the required 100-foot zoning buffer on southern and western perimeters adjacent to Union City, and represents a significant density departure inconsistent with the surrounding Suburban Neighborhood I character area.
