The Peachtree

City Planning Commission has a light agenda for its regularly scheduled

Monday meeting, but it plans to tackle one commercial rezoning request

for property on Ga. Highway 74 north near Wisdom Road.

Developers

would like to have the 2.35 acre property, currently zoned agricultural-residential

to a limited use commercial zoning. The matter was discussed by the commission

at a workshop during its last meeting, and it asked the property owner

to try and contact the owner of a parcel to the south to see if a cooperative

deal could be struck.

Specifically,

developers are eyeing the property to build a carpet showroom to replace

one currently located at Westpark Walk.

The property

in question is known historically as the Leach property. It borders the

Fairfield subdivision, and developers have been working with Fairfield

residents on their plans.

The city's

land use plan calls for the property to eventually be developed for office-institutional,

but the property has already been marketed as "potential" commercial.

The commission

will also discuss a landscape plan for the Ethan Allen furniture store

that is nearing completion in the Marketplace shopping center on Ga. Highway

54 west. The only other agenda item is for a public hearing on city-initiated

rezoning requests, most of which are for city owned properties.
