COMMUNITY AND PROPERTY OWNERS NOTIFICATION/COMMENTS
Per the requirements of Section 803.05, a Community Zoning Information Meeting was held on
January 5, 2026, at 6:00pm. The applicants presented their rezoning plan to attendees, and
nobody spoke in favor. However, a few residents had concerns about the development.
Staff placed the required notice of public hearing in the South Fulton Neighbor on January 28,
2026, to notify the public that Case U26-001 would be heard at the Planning Commission Meeting
on February 18, 2026, and at the City Council Public Hearing on March 10, 2026.
Staff placed a notification sign in front of the subject property on January 28, 2026, to notify the
surrounding community of the aforementioned hearing dates.
The Applicant was given the addresses within one mile of the subject property for the purposes of
hosting their own community meeting.
Standard of review for proposed rezoning (City Code, Appendix C, Sec. 803.06):
1) Is the proposed use consistent or inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan?
The proposed telecommunications tower is generally consistent with the City of South
Fulton 2021 Comprehensive Plan. While the Future Land Use designation of Suburban
Neighborhood emphasizes preserving the surrounding natural, agricultural, and rural
areas. The proposed development may enhance public safety, improves emergency
response, supports reliable connectivity for residents and businesses, and provides
essential infrastructure needed for modern communication.
2) Is the proposed use consistent with the supplemental plans adopted by the City
Council, such as/or revitalization or economic development plans?
The subject property is located within a Tax Allocation District (TAD) that encourages
infrastructure investment, public safety enhancements, and technological connectivity; the
facility supports emergency communications and modern wireless needs without introducing
commercial or high-intensity development inconsistent with long-range planning goals.
Page 38 of 112

[PAGE 39]
3) Is the proposed use compatible with the adjacent land uses and zoning
districts?
The proposed use is compatible, when conditioned, with adjacent AG-1 and CUP-zoned
properties. The monopine design, setbacks, and vegetative screening reduce visual and
land-use conflicts. The facility does not introduce noise, traffic, or activity levels that
would disrupt surrounding low-density and agricultural uses.
4) Does the proposed use on violate local, state, and or/federal statues,
ordinances, or regulations governing land development?
The proposed use does not violate local, state, or federal statutes or ordinances governing
land development. The applicant has committed to compliance with the City of South
Fulton Zoning Ordinance, FCC regulations, FAA requirements, and all applicable building
and safety codes.
5) What is the effect of the proposed use on vehicular and pedestrian traffic
flow and safety, along adjoining streets?
The proposed use will have minimal impact on vehicle or pedestrian traffic. The facility will
be unmanned, with occasional maintenance visits. No increase in daily traffic volumes or
pedestrian activity is anticipated along Cochran Road.
6) Is the screening adequate to protect adjacent uses from any negative
impacts of the proposed use?
The screening is adequate, provided existing vegetation is preserved and supplemented where
necessary. The stealth monopine design, combined with perimeter fencing and landscaping,
limits visual impacts on adjacent properties.
7) Can outdoor lighting be used so as to not interfere with surrounding uses?
Outdoor lighting must be consistent with that of a residential development and therefore
would not interfere with surrounding uses
8) Does ingress and egress to the property reduce negative impacts of the
proposed use or enhance safety?
The property access is limited, infrequent, and does not create hazardous turning movements or
congestion.
9) Will the number, size, and type of signs proposed for the site have any
negative impact on traffic or surrounding property uses?
No signs are proposed
Page 39 of 112

[PAGE 40]
10) Are off-street parking space adequate? Will they be properly located to
reduce any negative impact on surrounding property uses?
Due to the unmanned nature of the facility, parking demand is minimal and will not impact
surrounding properties.
11) Does the use have sufficient space to operate its activities?
The proposed lease area provides sufficient space to safely operate the telecommunications facility,
including equipment, maintenance access, and required setbacks, without encroaching on
adjacent uses.
12) Are there any negative environmental impacts which should be considered, for
example, topography, special geological features, soil, water runoff, air
pollution, water pollution or contamination, wetlands, etc?
No significant negative environmental impacts have been identified. The limited scope of
development minimizes disturbance to topography, soils, and vegetation. Stormwater runoff
impacts are minimal, and no wetlands or environmentally sensitive features are adversely affected.
Based on the environmental analysis submitted.
13) Availability of other land suitable for proposed use and effect on balance of land
uses;
While other parcels may exist within the broader service area, staff finds that the subject site is
reasonably suited for the proposed use due to its size, location, and ability to accommodate the
facility while minimizing impacts on developed residential areas. The AG-1 District is intended
to encompass lands devoted to agricultural uses and low-density residential use, single-family
subdivisions and conservation subdivisions.
14) Effect on character of the neighborhood;
The proposed use does not substantially alter the character of the surrounding area.
15) Effect on adjacent property;
The proposed use is not expected to negatively affect adjacent properties. Visual impacts are
mitigated, and there are no anticipated adverse effects related to noise, traffic, or land-use
compatibility.
16) Economic use of current zoning;
The AG-1 Agricultral District has numerous allowed uses that supports the economic viability
of the subject property.
17) Other conditions

PUBLIC PARTICIPATION
The public participation meeting was held in person January 5, 2026 at 5:30pm at Elegant Occasions
Event Center at 7580 Springbox Drive, Suite 100, Fairburn, GA and virtually on January 28, 2026 at
6:00pm via Microsoft Teams. There were a total of 12 people in-person and 6 people virtually.
The applicant addressed questions and concerns raised by meeting participants regarding the
proposed telecommunications tower. The applicant presented RF propagation maps to demonstrate
existing coverage limitations and explained how the proposed facility would improve service in the
area. Participants were informed that radiofrequency emissions are regulated at the federal level by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and that the facility would operate within
established safety standards. Health information materials from the World Health Organization were
also distributed to provide additional context regarding public health considerations.
The applicant further explained that the proposed facility would be designed as a stealth monopine
and would only be visible above portions of the existing tree line, with example images provided to
illustrate the intended appearance. Additionally, participants were informed that T-Mobile would
serve as the initial anchor tenant, with the facility designed to accommodate additional carriers in the
future, subject to applicable regulations.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: APPROVAL CONDITIONAL
Recommended Conditions:
1. That Cliftondale Overlay District requirements must be followed.
• Stealth design is required for all cell towers.
• Height of cell towers shall not exceed 199 feet.
• Wireless communications facilities shall be disassembled and removed from the site
within 90 days of the date its use for wireless telecommunications is discontinued.

Character Areas. The AG-1 District is intended to encompass lands devoted to agricultural uses and low-
density residential use, single-family subdivisions and conservation subdivisions. The Cedar Grove Overlay
District is adopted as part of a strategy designed to promote the health, safety, order, prosperity, and general
welfare of the citizens of South Fulton through the regulation of design, aesthetics, location, bulk, size of
buildings and structures, and the density and distribution of population. This use also complies with Section
302.21. – Kennel, outdoor (and other outside animal facilities) portion of the Code of Ordinance thus the
reason for this recommendation.
Staff recommends APPROVAL CONDITIONAL based on these factors.

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND
(Provide department recommendation and an executive summary of the actionthat gives an
overview of the relevant details)
AdministrationThe Procurement Department requests Council approval to utilize a cooperative
purchasing agreement for the acquisition of fleet tires and related equipment and supplies to support
the operational needs of the General Services Department Fleet Division. The City will piggyback on
Sourcewell Master Agreement No. 051525-GTC with The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, an
authorized supplier under the Sourcewell cooperative purchasing program.
This cooperative procurement method leverages competitively solicited pricing and terms, reduces
procurement cycle time, and ensures compliance with public purchasing requirements without
duplicating the solicitation process. Purchases will be made on an as-needed basis through
individual purchase orders consistent with the Sourcewell agreement. Total expenditures shall not
exceed one hundred fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00) during the contract term, subject to
approved departmental budgets.
The underlying cooperative contract became effective September 30, 2025 and is currently valid
through September 29, 2026, with additional renewal options available under the Sourcewell
agreement.
