Is Ga. Highway 74 south of

Peachtree City ready for further commercial development?

That's the question the Fayette

County Commission will attempt to answer Thursday night as it tackles

another thorny rezoning request.

Kenneth and Cynthia Reynolds

are asking the County Commission to rezone 6.6 acres at the intersection

of Hwy. 74 and Redwine Road from Agricultural Residential to Community

Commercial.

The owners want to develop

the property as retail shops, a bank and medical offices.

But the Planning Commission

and the county's staff is recommending the property be rezoned office-institutional.

"That's what the land

map use calls for," said zoning administrator Kathy Zeitler.

The tract lies across the street

from a large tract that was rezoned C-C with conditions for a large shopping

center, but still remains vacant.

"They haven't submitted

a final plat for approval. We're waiting on them," Zeitler said.

The only other item on the

agenda is consideration of a request from Marion Holt, owner and agent,

to rezone 1.289 acres from A-R to R-45 to develop one single-family home.

The R-45 zoning category allows for a home to be built on a one-acre lot.

Both the Planning Commission and staff have recommended approval.

The meeting starts at 7 p.m.

in the Commission Chambers at the Fayette County Administrative Complex.
