Planning Commission 6:00 PM 07-07-2026

The City of Stonecrest Planning Commission held a meeting on July 7, 2026, primarily to discuss a zoning petition (RZ26-004) related to a proposed heavy industrial development on Maddox Road. The discussion focused on concerns from residents about environmental, health, and traffic impacts, as well as the lack of detailed information about the proposed use. The city initiated the rezoning as part of a settlement agreement with Metro Green LLC, but the Planning Commission ultimately recommended denial of the application due to conflicts with the city's 2030 comprehensive plan, which designates the area for light industrial use, and city ordinances that do not permit the proposed heavy industrial activities. The commission emphasized the need for transparency from developers and adherence to the comprehensive plan to guide the city's growth. The motion to deny the rezoning was passed unanimously, and the case was closed.
