REVISED with updated information, Oct. 14, 2015 — A request for rezoning on Robinson Road that would have included several buffer variance requests has been withdrawn by the applicant a day before the hearing before the Peachtree City Council Thursday night.
“The applications for the rezoning and variance at Highway 54 and Robinson Road has been withdrawn by the applicant,” according to City Clerk Betsy Tyler in an email sent at 3:25 p.m. Wednesday.
The Peachtree City Council was set to consider a rezoning and variance request for a less than one acre tract at Ga. Highway 54 and Robinson Road being proposed for a medical office expansion. The withdrawal means that the request or a revision is eligible for consideration later, without awaiting a one-year delay had the request been denied.
Moving to the head of the line, the council on Oct. 15 will review a proposed ordinance pertaining to resident and non-resident golf cart fees.
The council previously discussed increasing fees for city residents from $12 for up to five years to a rate of $15 per year for three years for the city’s 12,000 golf carts.
The registration and fee for non-residents would increase from the current $100 per year to $115 per year.
The council when adopting the FY 2016 budget last summer noted that the budget would provide for an additional $225,000 for cart path work bringing that total to $665,000, some of which could be offset by the increase in cart registration fees which would be raised to an annualized figure of $15.

The Peachtree City Council on Oct. 15 will consider a rezoning and variance request for a less than one acre tract at Ga. Highway 54 and Robinson Road being proposed for a medical office expansion. Following up on a topic from budget discussion during the summer, the council will also discuss increasing golf cart fees for residents and non-residents.
The council will conduct a public hearing on a rezoning request pertaining to a .83-acre tract on the northwest corner of Hwy. 54 and Robinson Road. The request would have the R-43 Residential zoning changed to Limited Use Commercial (LUC) to accommodate a medical office building.
The triangular-shaped property is designated for office use on the city’s Land Use Map.
Applicant Urgent Pain LLC wants to construct a two-story office building totaling 6,250 sq. ft. The original proposal involved a building totaling 7,872 sq. ft.
The applicant is also requesting a variance relating to tree save and buffer requirements.
The size, shape and configuration of the property were established as part of the Hwy. 54 road re-widening and the realignment of Robinson Road. City staff said it would likely be difficult, if not impossible, to develop the property as currently zoned without granting numerous variances.
Staff recommended approval of the zoning with a number of conditions.
Urgent Pain LLC operates a clinic at neighboring Shakerag Hill. The new location would enable the clinic to expand its practice, the applicant said.
The council on Oct. 15 will also review a proposed ordinance pertaining to resident and non-resident golf cart fees.
The council previously discussed increasing fees for city residents from $12 for up to five years to a rate of $15 per year for three years for the city’s 12,000 golf carts.
The registration and fee for non-residents would increase from the current $100 per year to $115 per year.
The council when adopting the FY 2016 budget last summer noted that the budget would provide for an additional $225,000 for cart path work bringing that total to $665,000, some of which could be offset by the increase in cart registration fees which would be raised to an annualized figure of $15.
