Meeting Summary

Rezoning Request for 0 Old Roswell Road

  • The Planning Commission will consider a rezoning request for a 9.9869-acre property at 0 Old Roswell Road, seeking to change its zoning from Commercial Mixed Use (CX) to Office Residential (OR) to allow for the development of 62 townhomes. [Planning Commission Agenda p.2]
  • City staff recommends denial of the rezoning request, citing concerns that the proposed townhome development does not align with the 2040 Comprehensive Plan's vision for the Industrial/Flex Character Area as an employment center. [Planning Commission Agenda p.4] [Planning Commission Agenda p.10]
  • The applicant, Pope & Land Enterprises, argues that the rezoning to Office Residential (OR) is compatible with the surrounding residential uses and addresses the growing demand for high-quality housing, while also reducing potential traffic impact compared to previous commercial development concepts. [Planning Commission Agenda p.29] [Planning Commission Agenda p.34]
  • The proposed development would require a stream buffer variance due to an encroachment of approximately 6,778 square feet into the 100-foot City Stream Buffer and 34,406 square feet into the 50-foot Impervious Setback, though the applicant proposes mitigation by setting aside additional undisturbed buffer area. [Planning Commission Agenda p.9] [Planning Commission Agenda p.35]

Approval of Past Meeting Minutes

  • The Commission is scheduled to review and approve the minutes from its regular meetings on April 21, 2026, and February 17, 2026, as well as the special called meeting minutes from December 5, 2025. [Planning Commission Agenda p.1]
