N21-0002 — Used vehicle sales business
Applicant seeks to rezone 0.16 acres from Urban Commercial (CUN) to Heavy Commercial (CHV) to operate a used vehicle sales business in an existing vacant office building on Temple Avenue. Used vehicle sales require a special exception in CHV zoning, which the applicant is requesting as part of this rezoning petition. Staff recommends approval with the condition that the CHV designation be limited to used vehicle sales and other uses already allowed in CUN zoning, to balance commercial reuse with the adjacent residential area.
21 Jackson Street - COA — other
A Certificate of Appropriateness is being sought for construction of two new 2-3 story buildings in the Downtown Design Overlay District at 21 Jackson Street. The project includes design review for building orientation, massing, scale/height, and architectural compatibility with Historic Downtown Newnan. The site is zoned Central Business District with off-street parking oriented to the rear.
PD2026-01 — variance
Robert Tigner is seeking a variance to reduce the rear building setback at 34 Camden Way to accommodate a proposed screened porch. This case demonstrates how rear setback variances are handled in Newnan for accessory structures and may be relevant if you are developing properties with similar setback constraints.
N04-0003-004 — Addition of 35' long by 12' wide lean-to awning/canopy structure with corrugated roof attached to existing Par Fore Golf Company building
This case involves a request for a Certificate of Appropriateness to add a lean-to awning structure to an existing golf company building in the Downtown Design Overlay district. Staff found the proposed structure consistent with DDO standards and recommends approval. The project is unlikely to impact commercial real estate development strategies unless you operate in historic downtown Newnan's CBD zone.
10-179 — Residential development (235 single-family units in Planned Residential Development)
This is a rezoning request for 235 single-family residential units on Greentop Road that will be annexed into the City of Newnan. The development will generate significant traffic impacts, school capacity concerns (with serving schools at 77-88% capacity), and annual operating costs of approximately $384,522 against revenues of $220,448, requiring the developer to contribute to transportation improvements and coordinate with the school system.
08-2025 — New residential construction
This case involves a Certificate of Appropriateness application for new residential construction at 7 Calhoun Street within the Historic Residential Design Overlay District (HRDO). The project requires review and approval of design compatibility with the historic district's character standards before construction can proceed. Developers should monitor whether the applicant receives approval conditions that could affect similar infill projects in historic neighborhoods.
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
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.
