The Senoia City Council on June 6 conducted a public hearing and heard the first reading of an annexation request by Lindsey Homes to annex 88 acres along Ga. Highway 16 West for the Village West residential and commercial development. The second reading is expected June 20.

The proposal had previously been accepted for the idea of annexation by the City Council, has been through the city’s Planning Commission process and was not opposed by Coweta County.

The annexation and conceptual land use proposal for the mixed-use Village West development was submitted by developer David Lindsey. The 88-acre property resembles an inverted “T,” with the vertical portion situated on the north side of Hwy. 16 and the horizontal portion on the south side. The north side parcel is surrounded on all sides the existing city limits.

Any curb cuts would require approval from the Georgia Dept. of Transportation.

Parcel A, located on the north side of Hwy. 16, includes nearly 44.47 acres situated adjacent to the city limits. The rectangular-shaped property, with a north-south orientation, is surrounded by properties within Senoia, according to city documents. The subject property is currently zoned RC (Rural Conservation) by Coweta County.

Proposed for Parcel A are 40 residential lots and, along the highway, one commercial lot and two office lots. The residential portion of Parcel A consists of more than 23 acres and 15 acres of open space. The city’s Rural Conservation Subdivision ordinance allows 35 lots.

Parcel B, located on the south side of Hwy. 16, includes 44.14 acres. The property, essentially rectangular in shape with an east-west orientation and positioned perpendicular to Parcel A, has more than 3,100 feet of highway frontage.

The primary proposed use for Parcel B is commercial space, with a small amount of office space along with a nine residential lots on the west side of the property.

The second reading and possible annexation is expected at the June 20 meeting.
