Summary & Background
(First sentence includes Agency recommendation. Provide an executive summary
of the action that gives an overview of the relevant details for the item.)
Fulton County received a notice of annexation letter dated April 8, 2015 from the City of Atlanta
requesting to annex approximately 271 acres of property in unincorporated South Fulton County and
referred to as the Loch Lomond community. The approximately 271 acres area proposed for
annexation is zoned R-3 (Residential) and is designated on the 2030 Fulton County Comprehensive
Plan Map as Suburban Neighborhood.
O.C.G.A. § 36-36-113 provides that Fulton County may by majority vote object to an annexation
within 30 days of receipt of the notice of proposed annexation. O.C.G.A. § 36-36-113 further
establishes the grounds upon which Fulton County may object to a proposed annexation. Fulton
County may object to an annexation because of a material increase in burden upon the County
directly related to any one or more of the following:
(1)
(2)
(3)
The proposed change in zoning or land use;
Proposed increase in density; and
Infrastructure demands related to the proposed change in zoning or land use.
The City of Atlanta proposed zoning of R-3 (single family residential) and land use designation of
single family are consistent with the current Fulton County zoning and the County’s land use
designation, therefore based on the criteria set forth in 36-36-113, staff has found no basis upon
which to file a valid objection and seeks the Board’s approval to notify the City of Atlanta
accordingly.
