Z25-020 — 293 single family detached homes
Applicant seeks to modify an existing CUP zoning case (Z25-020) previously approved for 293 single-family homes by reducing minimum lot size from 9,000 to 6,600 square feet and removing lots from stream and perimeter buffer areas. This modification increases development density by allowing smaller lots and affects the site plan's buffer requirements, which may impact stormwater management and environmental protections on the 130.19-acre property.

Z22-007 — 18-lot single-family residential subdivision
The applicant seeks to modify a previously-approved rezoning to R-3 zoning by removing conditions that limited the original development to 12 homes and instead allowing an 18-lot residential subdivision on 13.82 acres. The proposal adds an adjacent 2-acre parcel and increases density; public participation revealed community concerns about traffic impacts and the increase from the originally-approved 12-home limit, though some attendees supported the modifications. Staff and Planning Commission recommend approval with conditions including 25-foot buffers, deceleration lane, and minimum home specifications.

Karim Lalani is seeking to rezone 4740 & 4996 Derrick Road from agricultural to general commercial to develop a gas station and convenience store as part of a mixed-use retail development, along with concurrent variances to reduce setbacks and buffers.

TA26-001 — comprehensive_plan_amendment
This ordinance repeals distance separation requirements and removes a 1,000-foot residential buffer restriction for gasoline stations, allowing them by right in C-2, M-1, and M-2 zoning districts and via special use permit within 7920 feet of another gas station or 1000 feet of residential uses. Developers proposing gas stations in South Fulton will face fewer locational constraints and faster approval pathways. The Planning Commission recommended denial (5-1), signaling potential community opposition to relaxing these restrictions.
M26-001 — pd_amendment
This case seeks to modify zoning condition #3a of the original 2005Z-0010 case by removing a 20-foot rear yard setback requirement at 8373 Le Jardin Blvd. The staff recommendation is denial, which would be significant for any developer considering relief from existing zoning conditions on this property.
ORD2025-026 — 8,400 square foot specialty grocery store
The applicant seeks to rezone from M-2 (Heavy Industrial District) to C-2 (General Commercial District) for an 8,400 square foot specialty grocery store, which would be supported by the Comprehensive Plan if a future land use amendment from Industrial Zone to Community Live-Work is granted. Staff recommends denial because the applicant has not met the city's public participation guidelines.
CV25-014 — 8,400 square foot specialty grocery store
Applicant seeks to rezone property from M-2 Heavy Industrial to Community Live-Work district and amend the Future Land Use Map to support development of an 8,400 sq ft specialty grocery store. The proposed mixed-use development could serve as a buffer between existing industrial and residential areas (townhomes and apartment developments). Staff analysis indicates the proposal does not conform to the current Comprehensive Plan but would comply if the Future Land Use Amendment is approved.
CDP25-013 — Consolidate two parcels into one development
RS Group Inc. is requesting to rezone two adjacent parcels at 4960 & 4980 Campbellton Road SW from R-3/AG-1 to R-4 zoning to consolidate them into a single development.

The project also requires a Comprehensive Plan amendment from Suburban Neighborhood I to Suburban Neighborhood II. Staff recommends denial, citing insufficient zoning buffers on southern and western perimeters and concerns that the increased density would depart from the area's existing character.
M25-003 — Principal building setback reduction from 50 feet to 20 feet from peripheral property lines
This case involves a modification to an existing Community Unit Plan zoning condition that would reduce the principal building setback requirement from 50 feet to 20 feet for a single lot in the Cliftondale Overlay District.

U25-013 — Group Residence for 6-9 Children
This application seeks a Special Use Permit to operate a group residence for 6-9 children at 120 Cainwood Ct E in a Community Unit Plan/Old National Highway Overlay zoning district.
