Newnan City Council Work Session - April 14th , 2026

The City of Newnan, GA City Council held a work session on April 14, 2026, to discuss the annexation and rezoning request for approximately 122.64 acres off Green Top Road from County RC to Planned Residential Development (PDR). The applicant, represented by Pulte Group, proposed 235 single-family homes with minimum lot sizes of 8,200 square feet and home sizes ranging from 1,800 to 3,000+ square feet. The development includes amenities such as a pool, cabana, gathering spaces, trails, and pickleball courts, integrated with an existing phase one development. A key procurement-related aspect was the agreement for the developer to pay nearly $7,000 per lot for traffic infrastructure improvements at three nearby intersections, as recommended by a regional transportation authority study. The council discussed conditions tied to the annexation, including density limits, buffers, and infrastructure commitments. The Planning Commission had previously voted unanimously to deny the request, but the city and county had negotiated terms to address concerns, particularly about traffic and density. The council considered these factors and the developer's commitments, including timing of infrastructure payments linked to final plat recording, but no formal vote was recorded in the transcript.
