The Peachtree
City Council will consider filling several impending vacancies on the
city's Recreation Commission, Airport Authority and Water and Sewerage
Authority at its regular meeting Thursday night.
Also set on
the fairly light agenda is consideration of a slate of "housekeeping"
rezonings offered up by the Peachtree City Planning Commission. Most of
the parcels to be rezoned are either owned by the city, Fayette County
or the school board.
The Planning
Commission is recommending the rezonings so those parcels will be more
in line with the latest version of the city's land use plan, which was
adopted in March.
A number of
the rezonings will change parks and recreation facilities to open space.
Several additional parcels in the industrial park would also be rezoned
to airport industrial.
The city originally
wanted to rezone several office buildings from general commercial to limited
use commercial, and several day care centers from residential to limited
use commercial, but those proposals were dropped upon request of the owners.
Among the city-owned
properties the commission proposes rezoning to open space are the South
74 baseball and soccer complex, the Meade Field softball complex, Big
Pine Park at Boxwood Court and Sweetgum Road, Smokerise Park at Smokerise
Trace and Smokerise Point, Stoneacre Park off Stoneacre Curve and Ardenlee
Park off Ardenlee Parkway.
Other city-owned
property that would be rezoned open space includes the Satterthwaite and
Weber fire stations.
