At its regular

meeting Thursday night, the Fayetteville City Council will consider a

rezoning initiated by city staff to clear up mistakes on legal descriptions

for a 50-acre tract of land across Ga. Highway 54 from Fayette Community

Hospital.

No new development

is proposed for the area, which is the location of the former Emory Clinic

building.

The property

was zoned as two different tracts in 1988, one tract being C-3 (highway

commercial) and the other being R-P (residential professional). But mistakes

were made on the legal descriptions making it unclear where one tract

ends and another begins, according to city staff.

The rezoning

would actually shrink the amount of commercially-zoned property to 21.17

acres while increasing the amount of residentially-zoned property to 29.25

acres. That will be more compatible with other residential properties

in the area, according to Jahnee Prince, the city's director of planning

and zoning.

The residential

professional zoning classification allows any use permitted in single

family residential districts in addition to the other following uses,

with some restrictions:

Offices providing

professional services;

Hospitals,

medical and dental clinics and doctor's offices;

Nursing, convalescent,

assisted living and care homes;

Day care or

kindergarten facilities;

Orphanages

and care homes;

Public and

private educational institutions offering general education courses; and

Art and photography

studios and offices of interior decorators.

Council will

also consider a beer and wine license for the new Tarathai restaurant

at the Banks Crossing shopping center and a change to the city's personnel

manual regarding military leave policies.
