MODERATE
The bill was updated to reflect its passage by both the House and Senate. The most significant substantive change is a reduction in the land area included in the City of Suwanee's boundaries, shifting from a list of over 100 specific parcels to a smaller, defined set of parcels and a modified road right-of-way description. This change reduces the total acreage added to the city from approximately 143 acres to 93 acres and removes several specific intersections from the included areas.
Scope change
The bill's scope was narrowed; the geographic area being annexed into the City of Suwanee is smaller than in the previous version, and the specific road segments included in the annexation were shortened.
SCOPE
The list of property parcels included in the City of Suwanee boundaries was significantly shortened, removing many specific parcel numbers that were previously listed.
The description of the McGinnis Ferry Road right-of-way was altered to reduce the distance of the road segment included in the city limits, changing the total acreage from approximately 143 acres to 93 acres.
The specific mention of the intersections with Autumnbooke Way was removed from the list of included areas.
TECHNICAL
The bill title was updated to indicate it has passed both the House and Senate, and page numbering was adjusted to reflect the new version.
