Staff seek brick first floors for Macedonia Road apartments

Powder Springs staff recommend keeping brick, rather than switching to siding, on the first level of the buildings proposed at 2761 Macedonia Road. The material requirement appears among recommended conditions for the linked annexation, rezoning and density-variance requests.

Architectural design approval by the Mayor and City Council is required for buildings proposed through rezoning to the Mixed Use District. TSW, which reviewed the development at the city’s request, also recommended retaining brick on the first level.

The September 28 report says the previously requested elevation for the mixed-use building with ground-floor commercial space has been provided. The development proposal includes 242 apartments and approximately 5,000 square feet of commercial space. The elevation submission and recommended materials do not establish architectural approval.
