The Official City of Stonecrest Georgia held a Zoning Board of Appeals meeting on June 16, 2026, primarily to discuss case V-26-00002 concerning a rezoning request for 6370 Woodrow Road from R-100 to MU-3. The discussion focused on the proposed New Birth Village development, including buffer zone reductions between the new development and existing residential areas, and the removal of an initially planned amphitheater and amplified sound system due to community concerns. Staff recommended approval with conditions, including maintaining certain buffers and landscaping plans approved by the city arborist. The board and community members debated the adequacy of the reduced buffer, potential noise impacts, and the clarity of conditions related to sound barriers and development phases. No final vote on the rezoning was recorded in the transcript, but there was a motion to close the public hearing. The meeting highlighted concerns about balancing development viability with neighborhood protections and the need for clearer documentation of conditions for board approval.
