Royston Has Yet to Record a Decision on Request for Four More Breanna Way Townhomes

Royston was considering a request by Precision Home Builders, LLC, to add four townhomes to its Breanna Way project near Dovetown Road and Smith Street, but the public record provided through Aug. 27 does not establish whether the variance was approved or denied. The July agenda identified the proposal as Planning Commission Case #July 1, 2026 and sought permission to increase the previously approved total from 35 homes to 39.

The dispute is narrow but consequential for the specific development: approval would allow four additional attached homes beyond the number already authorized. For nearby residents and city officials, the unanswered question is not whether a larger project was proposed, but whether Royston formally changed the development approval after the public-hearing process.

The matter began as a variance proposal rather than a new townhome plan. The July 2026 Planning Commission agenda described a request to move the approved count from 35 to 39. A public hearing was then called to order July 14, according to the minutes excerpt, but that excerpt does not say the commission or council acted on the case. The issue profile says the item was tabled from the July meeting for consideration in August, leaving the later disposition unresolved in the material reviewed here.

Precision Home Builders, represented in the agenda by Stanton Porter and identified there as the property owner, is asking for the higher 39-unit cap. The agenda and minutes show that the city placed the matter in its planning and public-hearing process, giving residents an opportunity to follow the request. Neither document excerpt states the views expressed by residents, staff members or elected officials, so no position for those participants can be reliably reported.

The increase to 39 townhomes remains a proposal in the documented record, while the 35-home figure is described as the prior approval. The July 14 minutes confirm that a public hearing occurred, but they do not record a vote, a resolution, conditions of approval, a denial or any other final action on Case #July 1, 2026. Accordingly, it is not possible from these records to say that the four additional homes have been authorized.

The next concrete public step is the release or review of the August council minutes or a resolution addressing the Breanna Way variance. That record should answer whether officials approved the request, rejected it, continued it again or imposed conditions. Until then, the official outcome—and therefore the number of townhomes ultimately permitted under this variance request—remains undecided in the record.
