The Peachtree

City Council is scheduled to consider reenacting its multifamily housing

moratorium at its regular meeting Thursday night.

The moratorium

bans any rezoning action for multifamily property and it helps keep some

multifamily projects from ever being proposed, council was told at its

last meeting.

Council is

already facing a request to lift the moratorium for the Katz property

so that John Wieland Homes may build town houses as part of its 350-unit

plan. The town homes were necessary to design a subdivision with more

open spaces, which had been requested by city officials, company representatives

have said.

In other business,

council will discuss the options it has for the paving of Sumner Road.

Originally, the project was halted once it was determined the road's path

would cut down several large trees.

Shrinking the

size of the road would essentially mean the project would lose its state

funding.

Council also

will discuss a staff recommendation to name a new park on the old Leach

Station property after Fire Chief Gerald Reed and a special needs playground

after longtime recreation volunteer Luther Holt.

Reed served

for 25 years as a paid member of the force after three years of service

as a volunteer. He was the Fire Department's second employee.

In a memo to

council, it was recommended that both namings would be appropriate because

of the "exemplary" service Reed and Holt provided over the years.
