City Council Update – April 2018

Tucker’s City Council held two regular scheduled meetings during the month of March, taking up a pair of rezoning cases that have drawn significant public interest. The first case, in which developer Ardent Companies is calling for 24-single family detached homes, was approved by a 6-1 vote at the Council meeting on March 26. This development will be located on the north side of Lawrenceville Highway at Henderson Drive.

A second rezoning case, also petitioned by Ardent Companies, was granted a deferral by a 5-2 vote at the meeting on March 26. This project, as constituted, would bring 54 townhomes to the south side of Lawrenceville Highway at Bishop Drive. The developer asked for a deferral with the goal of working with the City Council to refine their plans. A first read of the project is now scheduled for April 9 with a second read and anticipated vote set for April 26.

Also at the meeting on March 26, the Council voted unanimously to approve an annexation petition by a group of property owners along E. Ponce de Leon Ave. The annexation brings Graphics Packaging and Eagle Rock into the City effective April 1.
