City Council approves revised site plan reducing units at 10.7-acre mixed-use property

A significant zoning change was proposed at the Peachtree Corners City Council meeting on March 25, 2025, as developers seek to modify plans for a mixed-use development on a 10.7-acre tract. The current zoning allows for 382 residential units, but the new proposal aims to reduce that number to 326 units, reflecting a shift in the development strategy.

The developers plan to eliminate two additional buildings that were part of the original entitlement, resulting in a nearly 50% reduction in impervious surfaces. This change is expected to enhance the environmental footprint of the project while maintaining the existing building on-site, which will be integrated into the new multifamily design.

City staff recommended approval of the revised plan, highlighting that the changes would not adversely affect the surrounding buffer zones. Notably, the encroachment into these buffer areas has been significantly reduced, addressing previous concerns about environmental impact. The proposal also includes a commitment to public art, with developers agreeing to collaborate with the local arts council to create a community amenity.

Council members discussed the implications of the vote, clarifying that a denial would revert the project back to the original plan for 382 units. The council is poised to make a decision that could reshape the development landscape in Peachtree Corners, balancing growth with community interests.
