Two of the uses of the property will be presented to the Peachtree City Council this Thursday night.
One is an annexation request from R. S. Towson Holdings, LLC, for the annexation of just over 11 acres at the rear of a cell home park in the city to allow for the structure of 20 single-family homes.
Second, pass a short-term rental ordinance that will restrict and increase bureaucracy and fees to a homeowner’s attempt to convert their home into an Airbnb-style rental for up to 30 days.

Lately, the site is zoned in the county to house more cell homes. The developer says he plans to build homes with a median price of $850,000 for about 70 more residents.
City staff write that the added parcel would be similar to the annexed Towson Village subdivision already under construction. The staff approves the project.
This is not the case with the Planning Commission. “The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this issue at its Oct. 23 meeting. They voted 3-2 to file the denial of the application,” staff wrote.
The new ordinance on short-term rentals, which will go to public hearing Thursday night, is a step through the city to set regulations, set parameters, collect fees and order consequences for local citizens who have so far been free of regulations and regulations on renting. in their own homes.
The council began drafting the regulations last spring and plans commissioned proposals on Sept. 25 and Oct. 9.
Here’s what the plan-making commission had to say about the rules:
“• Increase the application and renewal to $500. (Approved unanimously).
• Stagger fines so that the first fine is $500, the second is $750, and the third is $1,000 (4-1 vote, with Commissioner Reeves preferring that all fines remain at $1,000).
• Raise the minimum age of the local contact officer to 25 (4-1 vote with a commissioner arguing that the age be lowered to 18).
• Modify the requirement that the local contact agent must be located within 20 miles of Peachtree City or within a 1-hour drive. (Adopted unanimously).
• Reduce notification radius from 500 feet to two hundred feet. (Vote 3-2, with Commissioner Reeves under the radius to stay at 500 feet and Commissioner Hamner under the notification requirement that should be eliminated entirely. )
• Require a tax certificate for short-term rentals. (Adopted unanimously).
• Continue to require background checks. (Vote 4-1, with Commissioner Hamner below requirement removed. )
But the adjustments they advised are ones the council will take into consideration Thursday. “The draft ordinance attached to this memorandum and presented at this public hearing is the draft presented to the Planning Commission without the advised amendments. If the Council accepts those recommendations of the Commission, the motion deserves to be drafted so that its approval includes those recommendations.
The bottom line is that in order to legally rent a room in your home in Peachtree City, you must now apply for a consistent annual permit (for one payment) and your entire home will need to pass an inspection. The number of rentals allowed is 1. 5 percent of the city’s homes. Violations will charge up to $1,000 each.
The Board will also bid farewell to its current tennis center control company, Sequoia Tennis Management Inc. , and determine what happens next.
The council also plans to acquire new police cars for approximately $612,000.
Unsurprisingly, the annexation passed Thursday night with a vote of 3 to 14. I am convinced that the new year will bring other effects when the votes are taken.
Adding $850,000 in housing for about 70 more people is smart to me. . . YMMV.
The Planning Commission didn’t think it was so smart.
On the one hand, you have to bear the costs of inspections to ensure protection and compliance with municipal codes. No one will subsidize your business with our tax dollars.
If you need the government to disclose an outrageous real estate grab, check out the estate tax.
Hi Penny, I hope you have Thanksgiving next Thursday.
It inspires me that you are in a scarce monetary scenario where your family’s wealth exceeds $13,000,000, so the “death tax” is affecting you. Good for you!
I have the idea of inheritance taxes as price lists applied to the richest and, like all price lists, they are economic instruments designed to take advantage of one organization at the expense of another.
ST Fiction: You don’t have to have an effect on you to be outrageous. The fact that the government can take hard-earned assets that have already been taxed just for someone’s death is absurd.
The federal estate tax affects homeowners and small business farmers, whose survivors are forced to sell to pay the taxes. There are also estate and inheritance taxes that do the same.
His comment is a classic redistribution imposed through the socialist government from those who have gained something to those who have not.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
Hi Penny. Maybe you’re giving me a false impression. I’m not necessarily endorsing estate taxes, I’m just pointing out that our government constantly picks winners and losers with price lists, asset tax rates, gifts to farmers, students, the poor, etc. This is true for either party. For example, the price lists imposed on China on U. S. brands and intellectual assets through President Trump have remained largely unchanged under President Biden.
The question of how the U. S. government raises money is a broader debate than this blog allows. Should income, consumption, wealth, etc. , be taxed?
In any case, I hope that your circle of relatives will be affected by the “death tax” because it means that your circle of relatives is doing very well. Again, happy Thanksgiving.
I hate to break it to you, but in this country there is no guarantee that you won’t be taxed twice. In fact, the obligation to tax is exercised through the federal and state governments, which means AT LEAST twice from the beginning. begin.
As for his current point, it is ridiculous that he would think that someone “earns” an inheritance through a distinguishing characteristic of his birth. This is not the case.
Blake – I didn’t talk about the merits of receiving an inheritance, so you want to re-read my comment. I just pointed out to Defins that inheritance taxes are far less justifiable than rental fees.
Why the hell does the government get anything if I need to contract MY PROPERTY? What country do we live in? Scandalous.
We live in the United States of America, a country that grants many freedoms. The purpose of our governments, federal, state, county and municipal, is to protect. Peachtree City Council seeks to protect us from others who act irresponsibly in and toward our community. Some live here and are opportunistic, not caring about the effect their businesses have on our community.
