Planning Commission 6:00 PM 06-02-2026

The City of Stonecrest Planning Commission held a meeting on June 2, 2026, primarily to consider a zoning amendment request (ZM26-001) related to a property at 6400 Woodrow Road. The applicant sought to remove existing zoning conditions that required the development of an assisted living facility on an 11-acre site, to allow the property to be used for a solar farm instead. The commission discussed the implications of removing these conditions, noting that the solar farm project would be subject to future review and approval processes. The applicant, representing New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, explained the motivation for the solar project as a means to reduce the church's electricity costs and support environmental stewardship. The commission unanimously voted to recommend approval of the amendment to the City Council with conditions ensuring environmental compliance and visual buffering. No other procurement or contracting matters were addressed during the meeting.
