The Fairburn City Council put

the brakes on development Monday night.

The City Council adopted a

resolution establishing a moratorium on the acceptance of all new applications

and proceedings for rezoning of property, and also applications and votes

on annexation and subsequent rezoning of property into the city limits

of Fairburn.

The new comprehensive zoning

ordinance and zoning map for the city of Fairburn have been amended on

numerous occasions for the past seven years in an effort to keep up with

the changing needs of a growing and evolving community.

This moratorium will expire

July 15 and will not be extended.

In other news, the City Council

set a qualifying fee of $27 for November's general election.

The council also designated

the South Fulton Citizen, South Fulton Neighbor, Fulton Daily Report,

and the Atlanta Journal Constitution as official legal organs for the

City of Fairburn.
