At its regular meeting Thursday

night, the Peachtree City City Council will consider a rezoning request

for a 124-home subdivision with two commercial outparcels on the south

end of the city in a proposal that includes the realignment of Rockaway

Road.

Council is also slated to discuss

the possibility of adding nighttime driving restrictions for 15-year-olds

who are now allowed to drive golf carts unsupervised.

Also, Mayor Steve Brown wants

council to consider requiring cart owners to carry liability insurance

on their golf carts.

The residential rezoning request

is for a 125-acre tract, only 37 acres of which would be used for construction.

The property is currently zoned industrial, but a residential use is indicated

on the city's land use plan.

The two commercial outparcels

would straddle either side of the newly aligned Rockaway Road, which would

link to Ga. Highway 74 south at the current traffic signal for Holly Grove

Road.

The Peachtree City Planning

Commission has recommended the rezoning be approved.
