A developer wants to build 36 townhomes on 6.4 acres off MacDuff Parkway and is seeking a rezoning Tuesday evening from the Peachtree City Council during a special called meeting.
City planners wanted the developer to include a street-level component of commercial shops, but were told the live-work-shop combination was a bad idea financially for that site.
“A 36-unit townhome development involves the least development risk and provides the greatest flexibility to succeed,” said the narrative of developer Brent Holdings, LLC. “While potentially feasible, inserting a small number of LWUs (live-work units) at this unproven commercial location, with limited parking, significant use restrictions and adjacent to a small townhome development, introduces a significant added element of risk to the project.”
The site is adjacent to the Tyrone town limits, Cresswind subdivision in Wilksmoor Village and the CSX Railroad tracks.
Also on the agenda is a proposal to buy some right-of-way for a cart path easement and inter-parcel access through an office park near the current location of the Fayette County Animal Shelter. City cost will be $141,000.
During the meeting the council will vote on sending the latest version of the city’s updated comprehensive plan to the state.
The council also will decide whether to alter access to Lake Peachtree at the ramps at Battery Way and Pinecrest boat docks by shifting boat trailer use away from Battery Way and building more parking spaces at Pinecrest across the lake.
Additionally, the council has as part of its consent agenda paying $832,000 for three new and 10 replacement police vehicles.
The council meets this week at City Hall Tuesday evening at 6:30 p.m.

XIII.Council/Staff Topics
Personally I’d rather see no additional residential property built in our City which is built out and plagued now with traffic. But that’s an unrealistic dream. I can see why the developer doesn’t think ‘retail’ would work here especially limited parking. It looks like most of the limited remaining PTC property will be going with ‘vertical’ condos like this. That’s probably where the profits are.
