At the Nov. 13 Community Planning Information Meeting, Nick Faber presented SDP24‑004, a preliminary subdivision plat for a parcel at Stonecrest Industrial Way that the applicant says is already approved for industrial/logistics use and will be divided from one 205‑acre parcel into three lots without changing building footprints or uses.

Faber said the request is limited to the administrative subdivision: "Nothing is changing with the project from the original approvals — we're just taking it from 1 parcel to 3." He repeatedly told residents the subdivision does not alter the previously approved development plan; he pointed on the map to existing industrial neighbors (Home Depot, Pepsi) and to Swift Creek and railroad lines that provide separation.

Residents pressed staff and the applicant about how many trucks will operate at future tenants, overnight truck parking, noise and air‑quality impacts, and whether an environmental or updated impact study could be required. Staff said a Development of Regional Impact (DRI) review was done during the original entitlement and that the Atlanta Regional Commission confirmed the prior DRI decision stands if there were no substantive changes to the proposal. Staff also said the city requires notices within roughly 1,000 feet and acknowledged some residents reported they did not receive postcards; staff agreed to retrieve and provide prior DRI comments and conditions at the next meeting.

Several residents referenced a 250‑foot undisturbed buffer and a 50‑foot railroad buffer from the earlier DeKalb County approval; staff said those buffers remain undisturbed. The matter was informational; the applicant will appear again at the Planning Commission and City Council for final subdivision approval under the city's public hearing process.

Next steps: staff will provide DRI materials and previously required conditions at the next hearing; the subdivision plat will go through the formal public hearings in December and January as scheduled.
