Council approves development moratoria Fayetteville City Council members Thursday night approved three development moratoria requested and explained by Community Development staff.

The first moratorium sets a six-month pause on Planned Community District (PCD) rezoning applications.

“At this time, a complete rewrite of all of the City of Fayetteville ordinances related to land development is underway,” said Community Development Director Jahnee Prince. “As a part of the review and study of the City’s development standards, processes and procedures, the consultant team is likely to recommend significant changes to the City’s zoning ordinance and zoning map to advance the goals of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.”

Prince said the moratorium will ensure new development proposals are consistent with the new Unified Development Ordinance and the Comprehensive Plan.

The second moratorium is actually an extension of the City Council’s July 2 Highway Corridor Overlay District Moratorium.

On July 2, city council members enacted a 45-day moratorium on all zoning actions and site development plans for properties located along state highways 85, 54, 92, and 314, as well as along the Jimmie Mayfield Corridor Overlay District outside of the Main Street Architectural Overlay District.

“Out of concern that the current uses and development trends within the state highway corridors

were not advancing the goals of the City’s adopted Comprehensive Plan, the moratorium was put into place to allow staff time to draft changes to the Zoning Ordinance,” Prince said. She explained that a number of changes are being reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Commission, and more time will be needed to study and address those concerns.

The third moratorium ceases annexations of land from unincorporated Fayette County into the City of Fayetteville for at least 90 days from adoption of the moratorium.

“Annexations have been a delicate issue between the City of Fayetteville and Fayette County,” Prince said.

“The City and County have begun discussions that may make this process smoother.”

Fayette Idol returns to Fayetteville Sept. 29 Fayette County High School freshman Daylon Peterson is warming up his voice and narrowing down his song selections in preparation for his final official performance Sept.

29 as the reigning Fayette Idol winner.

Peterson, who won his age category at the 2016 Fayette Idol competition, repeated the feat in 2017, but he also took home the overall award that second time. He says he looks forward to singing again Saturday, Sept. 29, for the crowd at Zac Brown’s Southern Ground Amphitheater in Historic Downtown Fayetteville and to passing the baton to the 2018 Fayette Idol winner.

“It was an amazing experience,” Peterson said, recalling the night he got top scores for his rendition of Smokie Norful’s “No Greater Love”. “I wanted to sing something that was meaningful to

me. I wanted to connect with the audience.”

Peterson’s advice to 2018 competitors is the same.

“Make sure you believe in what you’re singing,” he said. “Make sure the audience can feel the connection, and make sure to give God praise for what He has done in your life.”

Since winning last year, Peterson has performed at several City-sponsored events.

Deadline to enter the 2018 Fayette Idol competition is Friday, Sept. 7. There are four categories

2017 Fayette Idol winner Daylon Peterson

within the competition: 7-11 years; 12-15 years; 16-21 years; and 21+.

Bi-Weekly Report - August 20, 2018

SPLOST and LMIG road resurfacing projects to begin in November Seventeen of Fayetteville’s city streets have been chosen for the first round of resurfacing to be funded by money made available through the Georgia Department of Transportation Local Maintenance and Improvement Grant (LMIG) and money raised through the 2017 Special Purpose Local Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).

The work is slated to begin in November, and will continue until completed, weather permitting.

City Council members Thursday night approved the total expenditure of $982,993.73 for this first round of resurfacing, which covers an estimated five miles of mostly residential streets.

Following are the streets on this first-round list: Arbor Way, Courtyard Lane, Garden Court, Wilbanks Drive, Williamsburg Way, Medford Drive, Walker Avenue, Georgia Avenue, Georgia

Georgia Avenue East is one of 17 streets on the first-round list for resurfacing to begin in November.

Avenue East, Kathi Avenue, Normandy Drive, White Road, Heritage Lake Drive, Heritage Court, Southshore Terrace, Lakeside Court, and Lee Street.

Fayetteville Public Services Director Chris Hindman explained to City leadership that contractor Atlanta Paving & Concrete Construction Incorporated will do the work. He said the company was awarded the contract for Peachtree City’s resurfacing through their competitive bid process, and the contractor agreed to do these 17 Fayetteville streets as well at the same rates as the awarded bid.

“As the year has moved forward, the unit costs for asphalt have increased,” Hindman said. “Staff has worked with Peachtree City and the contractor to allow the contractor to use the same unit pricing for Fayetteville that was awarded by Peachtree City.”

Subsequent rounds of resurfacing throughout the City of Fayetteville will include an additional 16 miles of roadways, mostly residential, over the next couple of years.

Updates closer to project start times will be posted on the City’s website, fayetteville-ga.gov, and on the City’s social media channels.

City Council approves new millage rate The Fayetteville City Council on Aug. 16 adopted a new millage rate of 5.646 mills, which is an increase over the previous 3.874 mills. It is a 45-percent increase over what the rollback millage rate would have been.

The extra 1.772 mills, most of which is earmarked for the City’s public safety needs, would generate an estimated $1.8 million Bi-Weekly Report - August 20, 2018

for the year.

For a home located within the City of Fayetteville with a fair market value of $250,000, the proposed increase would be $177.20. That’s $14.77 a month, or about five cents of every tax dollar.

Public hearings to discuss the millage rate increase were held at Fayetteville City Hall on Aug. 2, 9 and 16.

Do you really live in Fayetteville?

Having a Fayetteville mailing address does not necessarily mean you live in the City of Fayetteville.

The incorporated City of Fayetteville is entirely surrounded by unincorporated Fayette County, and in some places the city limits are located within a mile or two of unincorporated Clayton County.

All Fayetteville city residents and many residents of unincorporated Fayette and Clayton counties have “Fayetteville 30214” or “Fayetteville 30215” mailing addresses, because their mail is delivered from United States Post Office facilities located within the City of Fayetteville. However, not all of these people are actually Fayetteville city residents.

Here at Fayetteville City Hall, we often receive phone calls and e-mails from unincorporated county residents who ask for city services based on their perception of living in “Fayetteville” or “the Fayetteville area”. And while the City is here to serve everyone it can, some services can only come

from the jurisdiction in which a resident actually lives.

To make matters more potentially confusing, a few residents living within Fayetteville city limits pay water bills to the Fayette County Water System, because their home or neighborhood is served with a Fayette County supply line and not a Fayetteville line. As well, some unincorporated Fayette County residents, including some who live in the Chanticleer neighborhood, receive water from the City of Fayetteville. So clearly, it is not

sufficient to say you know where you live based on who you pay for water service.

The best way to be sure of your property’s jurisdiction is to check it on an official City of Fayetteville map and by using the Fayette County tax records search on the county’s website.

Note: if your property is in “Tax District 01”, it is in unincorporated Fayette County. If it is in “Tax District 02”, it is in the City of Fayetteville. Peachtree City, Brooks and Tyrone also have their own unique tax districts.

Stay up to date on the Hwy. 54 repaving project with the City of Fayetteville online The Hwy. 54 repaving project, which stretches across most of Fayette County, is nearing completion, according to officials with the Georgia Department of Transportation District 3 office.

This portion of roadway, starting from the Coweta County line on the west side of Peachtree City to a point just past McDonough Road to the east of Fayetteville, was deemed by the state to need more than just resurfacing. The entire span underwent milling and repaving, with certain places needing “deep milling”, including portions located in Downtown Fayetteville.

All of that milling work is complete, and now crews are pouring the top layer of asphalt, Page 5

beginning with the inner lanes.

Crews will continue to pave one lane at a time until the topping is completed, then they will work on turn lanes and other areas

needing that top layer of asphalt.

Once repaving is completed, loop sensor systems will be reinstalled into intersections, and the traffic signals will be returned to the normal settings.

During all of this repaving, at least one through-lane will remain open, but expect traffic delays in the affected areas.

Please drive slowly and carefully past construction zones.

Updates on the project are posted regularly on the City’s website, fayetteville-ga.gov, and on social media channels.

Anyone with questions or concerns about the project may contact the GDOT District 3 office at 706-845-4115 or by e-mailing amccart@dot.ga.gov.
