Developer seeking annexation, rezoning of several parcels totalling 99 acres near Ingles shopping center to build 3 homes per acre

An annexation and rezoning proposal pertaining to a 285-home residential development on nearly 99 acres on Fayetteville’s south side will be heard by the Fayetteville Planning and Zoning Commission on June 28.

The property is located west of Jimmy Mayfield Boulevard, south of the Ga. Highway 92 Extension and a short distance to the east of Ga. Highway 85 South and the Ingles shopping center.

An application by Rolader and Sheffield Fayette Ventures is requesting the annexation and rezoning of 29.63 acres currently zoned R-40 (two-acre lots) residential and only the rezoning of 32.53 acres zoned C-3 (commercial) and 36.4 acres zoned C-3, OS (open space) and R-THC (residential townhouse/condominium) since those parcels are already located in the city.

A total of 78 attached homes would be situated immediately to the east and south of the shopping center while 207 homes are proposed on the east, central and south portions of the property.

Proposed density is 2.9 units per acre with 15-20-foot front setbacks, zero side setbacks with 10 feet separation and 20-foot rear setbacks.

Attached homes are proposed with a minium of 1,100 sq. ft while detached homes are proposed for a 1,200 sq. ft. minimum size.

The proposal comes with more than 19 acres of open space, a 3-acre lake, and 4.7 acres of stormwater management areas.

The proposal will be followed by two hearings before the Fayetteville City Council on July 21 and Aug. 4.
