Zoning Review Board Approves Lindbergh Develoment

A final decision on the project is expected to come Aug. 20.

Atlanta's Zoning Review Board gave approval to plans by the Sembler Company and Fuqua Development for a mixed-use development near the Lindbergh Center at its meeting on Thursday night, and to the development.

The issue will now go before the Atlanta City Council Zoning Committee for review on Aug. 1 and then before the full City Council on Aug. 20 for a final decision.

While local media has generally given more coverage to those opposed to the development, , Jeff Fuqua of Fuqua Development told Patch on Wednesday that he has heard no vocal opposition from the public at meetings discussing the issue and that there are many in the community that are in favor of it.
