An oddly shaped

piece of property just south of the new Fayette County Justice Center

in Fayetteville may be rezoned to make room for a small office complex.

The property,

which is just off Jimmie Mayfield Boulevard to the west, is 1.3 acres

and is currently undeveloped.

Bob Rolader,

the developer seeking the rezoning, said the city had asked him to wait

on his original proposal until after the southside master plan was completed,

and he complied. His current proposal would not tie into that development,

however.

The property

has a small strip that extends west to Williamsburg Way. But comments

from the Fayetteville Planning and Zoning Commission indicated favor for

dropping that undevelopable strip of land from the plan, to which Rolader

agreed.

The property

is currently zoned residential, but Rolader is seeking a rezoning to office-institutional.

Attorney Loyd

Black of Brooks said he didn't think such a rezoning would be fair given

that he represented adjacent property owners whose land is zoned residential

also.

The matter

may be considered by the commission at its regular meeting Tuesday.
