Original Story:

The DeKalb Planning Commission at its Sept. 10 meeting voted for a 60-day deferral of a vote on Fuqua Development's newest plan to redevelop the property of Scott Boulevard Baptist Church to make way for a mixed-use development. However, the Board of Commissioners have the final say on the deferral.

At the Planning Commission meeting, Fuqua Development presented its third site plan since June for the redevelopment project on the SBBC site at the intersection of North Decatur Road and Scott Boulevard. 

These plans for the Decatur Crossing development had not before been shared with surrounding neighbors and representatives for the Atlanta-based development firm admitted that they would need to go back before the community to present its new plans.

The Planning Commission voted for a full cycle referral, which means the entire updated proposal will again be reviewed by the Community Council, the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners.
