The southwest

part of Fayette County could soon be home to a personal and business retreat

for one of Atlanta's corporate citizens.

Chick-fil-A

president Dan Cathy is headed to the Fayette County Planning Commission

tomorrow night to unveil plans for a business and personal retreat on

his Peeples Road property.

Cathy owns

about 357 acres in the southern part of the county, said county zoning

director Kathy Zeitler, and is looking to add more buildings to the property.

He wants to

rezone 67 acres from A-R to PUD-PRL, Planned Retreat or Lodge. Zeitler

said the development consists of existing A-R uses, including a residence,

barn, shop, pool/guest house and proposed uses including a lodge, and

outdoor auditorium.

Zeitler said

he has to rezone the property because A-R only allows a 900 sq. ft. guest

house, and Cathy wants a 1,200 sq. ft. house.

"He wants

to use the new uses for company that he has on the property," she

said.

Since he's

proposing a PUD zoning, Thursday's meeting is only a preliminary meeting

with the Planning Commission to look at the plans.

If the commission

makes any changes to the plan, he would then come back before the Planning

Commission, possibly as soon as November, she added.

The quickest

the County Commission would make a decision on the rezoning would be in

December, Zeitler said.

The meeting

starts at 7 p.m. at the county's administrative complex on Stonewall Avenue.
