Landmark Christian
School could be on the move from its Fairburn campus, but not anytime
soon.
Next Thursday,
officials from the school will travel to Tyrone to seek rezoning for a
95-acre tract on Farr Road.
Tyrone Town
Manager Barry Amos said school officials want the property zoned from
residential to office-institutional to build a new school.
Amos said the
site plan shows classroom buildings, along with a football stadium, soccer
field and practice fields.
Landmark director
of development Fran Belloir said the school would eventually move all
its facilities to the Tyrone site, but only after going through a 10-
to 15-year phase-in plan.
"We really
want to expand the elementary school, so that's the first thing we would
do," she said.
Currently,
the school has two classes per grade and officials want to move toward
four classes per grade, but there's not enough room at the current location.
"It would
take a long time for everything to be located in Tyrone," she said.
The school
currently has 775 students and Belloir said the new facility would allow
it to expand to 1,100.
One of the
last items built at the facility would be the football stadium, since
the school already has a stadium in Fairburn.
Landmark, a
private school serving the entire south metro area, moved from Fayetteville
to the campus formerly occupied by Campbell High School in Fairburn more
than 10 years ago.
Thursday's
Planning Commission meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Tyrone Town Hall.
