| Kelly Plantation | Located in Henry County, Georgia, Kelly Plantation will be a large planned development on 222 acres of land. It will consist of a mixture of single-family houses, townhouses and apartments, for a total of about 1,300 units of housing. There will also be commercial or office uses on 20 acres, with about 150 apartments constructed above the commercial/office space. The complex will have sidewalks and bike lanes, and also pools, tennis courts, gazebos, ball fields and a clubhouse. As a DRI (development of regional impact), the project had to receive approval from GRTA. The developer and the county signed a development agreement in 2005, in which the developer agreed to the building of a certain amount of infrastructure (streets in particular) and the county agreed to rezone the property and approve the development. | Planning and Zoning Department, Henry County 770-954-2457 |

| Monarch Village TND in Stockbridge | Monarch Village comprises approximately 800 homes, a commercial "Town Square," and an elementary school, together with parks and recreational open space, on a master-planned site of 380 acres. The project, made possible by a zoning amendment, combines TND and conventional subdivision design, limiting the proportion of "TND lots" to 50% of the total. The residential areas are connected to the commercial town square by a street designed for travel by foot and bicycle as well as car. Park space is well distributed throughout the site. Putting apartments over shops and offices provides for a more energetic public space, and for better security through "eyes on the street." School circulation is conveniently integrated into the overall system. One negative point, however, is that there is only one main access route serving the whole development, creating the possibility for congestion. (A secondary connection is provided to the school entrance, but this serves few residents.) There is also only one potential connection to future development on adjacent sites, which limits connectivity to the community's street system. | Bicycle Facility Specifications Mixed-Use Zoning Planned Unit Developments Traditional Neighborhood Development - Site Specific Requirements | |
