He asked for an explanation of the project's purpose and scope.

Wesley Reed said he liked the monuments' appearance but asked that the city complete the nearby stormwater pond area and clear undergrowth so the work would look finished. Council asked Mr. Monet and other residents to follow up with City Manager Brian Johnson for more information; the mayor invited residents to contact the city manager for a more detailed response.

The district is intended to allow a mix of small‑scale residential product types under one zoning classification and to provide a regulatory pathway for targeted infill redevelopment.

Community Development Director Sean Adams briefed council on the IRD concept, which grew from the city’s small area plan and staff research into missing housing types. Adams said the district is designed to allow multiple product types and be applied in character areas identified on a city map, including portions of Peachtree Corner Circle where older multifamily complexes could over time be redeveloped.

Adams said the zoning change provides tools to permit redevelopment at higher effective densities on smaller footprints and to help property owners consider replacement strategies as apartment complexes age. Council approved the amendment on second reading; Adams said details and mapping in the packet show candidate areas for the district and the associated character descriptions.

No speakers registered opposition at the public hearing. The ordinance will allow the city to review infill proposals under a single, uniform district that anticipates a range of attached and multi‑unit housing types.","The council approved a zoning code amendment to create an Infill Residential Development (IRD) district to permit multiple small housing product types in targeted character areas to support redevelopment of aging multifamily and underused parcels.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6623047,"Council approves settlement rezoning for Day Building site to allow 61 townhomes, limits rentals to 15%",291,3174000,3465000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2777454-424b80ed27fd7713bb1d93f5e8ed8824&start=3174&end=3465","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2777454-424b80ed27fd7713bb1d93f5e8ed8824/thumbnail_3174000.jpg","/articles/6623047/Peachtree-Corners/Gwinnett-County/Georgia/Council-approves-settlement-rezoning-for-Day-Building-site-to-allow-61-townhomes-limits-rentals-to-15","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623047-1d583dccb815ce82eab0ce2e96ffb1a8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191421&Signature=iM8z7d-JYf2I3t63kwB2SDxPMhkSKu5a-gdc7qux4PoaqJ~GGpQX7slXwyaaxMv8s48r2T-74tFrOUPsv~B4NnCmkXcqMRTsD4lIxSiVutVtyaAGciEY9Ri-Jb8I1LZNQg1gaa3PM1dDMFPud81Fqlg2pRxnmNKQjNOHfUT3Ga1riqxOXIV4MRSXelTjXPczG3BB3IBXENvnSLhaykaTmKMDQhzw6dgPneGYgSB37h-bZMPLlDswVE0YnmLWbu6oz314lA~k6nsAlb6o0umoaApm~Gz2RsG4EFIzbHD4jhEOhQ8mHqPDBnF47eARNOP~f-aZrRTDO1qBk9e0kdxc1A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Peachtree Corners City Council approved a rezoning tied to a mutual settlement agreement that will convert the Day Building site at 4725 Peachtree Corners Circle from industrial (M1) to residential townhome (RTH) for 61 townhomes. The approval implements terms negotiated as part of ongoing litigation and includes a recorded restrictive covenant limiting concurrent rentals to 15% of the units.

City Attorney (name not specified in the transcript) explained that the rezoning follows a settlement negotiated after an earlier denial of a mixed‑use MUD proposal; the settlement reduced proposed units from roughly 200+ rental apartments to a for‑sale townhome plan of 61 units and included terms to cap rentals at 15% via recorded covenant. The city attorney emphasized that the settlement does not bind council’s independent vote.

Staff presented the site plan and recommended approval with conditions, including four concurrent variances (stream buffer encroachments and reduced front/side setbacks), substantial conformity to the submitted plan and elevations, driveway standards, and a required deceleration lane at Peachtree Corners Circle. Staff also allowed flexibility for at least 19 units to be rear loaded while permitting additional basement/front‑loaded units if topography and final engineering support that change.

Kathy Sickert, attorney for the applicant, and William (Billy) Stark (representing the owner) described the proposal as a substantial reduction from the previously proposed multifamily project. Stark said units will range from about 2,000 to 2,600 square feet, typically three bedrooms (many with four bedrooms), and price points in the mid‑to‑high $600,000s. He said active amenities will be limited by the small community scale, but the plan includes passive open space, pocket parks, a dog park and sidewalk connections to the city’s trail network.

Public commenters who spoke in support cited reuse of a deteriorating office building and potential economic benefits to nearby retail and the Forum. No opposition speakers offered a sustained case in the public hearing.

Council approved the rezoning and associated conditions. The council also noted a judge’s remand order in the litigation that allowed the matter to return to council and recorded that the remand would expire April 9, 2025 if no action were taken.","Following settlement discussions tied to pending litigation, council approved rezoning the Day Building site at 4725 Peachtree Corners Circle for 61 townhomes, with a recorded covenant limiting rentals to 15% and several variances and access conditions.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6623052,"Council approves Providence Group plan for 77 townhomes at 333 Research Court with conditions",406,1946000,2352000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2777454-424b80ed27fd7713bb1d93f5e8ed8824&start=1946&end=2352","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2777454-424b80ed27fd7713bb1d93f5e8ed8824/thumbnail_1946000.jpg","/articles/6623052/Peachtree-Corners/Gwinnett-County/Georgia/Council-approves-Providence-Group-plan-for-77-townhomes-at-333-Research-Court-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623052-4088a4b1632b056f2a8845810a8783bb/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191421&Signature=mAD4Guxtj~2O-RMweny9qNOZBF6sFM93PHnIfXhy7MScHRUayWhQQgBGqODqIIosILbVNafVLA7qD6fKPBO6X~bGAZO0cf77pNHDAV6a5rXOsSaY25REzcvEr1p5-aHzg4wAyxiH97Vu-k4-j45osDzx~iviMePWUJ6z3TvPebK7jo4jGbX2EcccQOn3f94RZlGe4Mvx-KLtswKzv2xUxDaWBhGU3ba7ySmNSmZ7ImKG87ccwdYkvTh6VG2oTnSYvdq1KtpMUmlztqt4~UwRc8ne1IYWUMD4rJZ8UyVJz0EcyNo8y5U6PRwb4Gtns4F-QxfNec6NuyPoz2-D6TVkjQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Peachtree Corners City Council voted to approve a rezoning for 333 Research Court that will convert a mostly vacant office site into a 77‑unit townhome development, subject to conditions covering access, setbacks, fences and homeowner association rules limiting concurrent rentals.

Community Development Director Sean Adams summarized the application and noted modifications since planning commission review. The applicant revised a prior stacked‑townhome proposal to a residential townhome (RTH) plan for 77 units; the plan eliminates two curb cuts, adds a single curb cut aligned with the street to reduce conflict points, and proposes perimeter fencing designed to address security concerns near Norcross High School.

Alex Brock, attorney for the Providence Group of Georgia, described changes the applicant made after planning commission concerns and said the proposal aligns with the city’s small area study and prior long‑range planning. Brock said the site’s existing office building is largely vacant and that adding residential will activate the area after business hours.

Brock also presented the applicant’s proposed conditions for gating, private drives and fence details; he told council the development includes sidewalks and internal pedestrian connectivity and that the homeowner association will limit concurrent rentals to 15%.

Mike Dwiner, a local business owner, spoke in favor and asked the council to defer action on the landscape strip variance until neighbors can review the landscape plan. In closing, Adams said landscape strip requirements are enforced through the land development permitting process and that staff would enforce code requirements at LDP and CO stages.

The council approved the rezoning and conditions (the motion was made and seconded on the floor); the approval includes a condition that at least 77 townhomes may be built with substantial conformity to the submitted site plan and elevations and a cap allowing no more than 15% of units to be rented concurrently.","The council rezoned 333 Research Court to allow a 77‑unit townhome development; staff and the applicant agreed to conditions addressing fencing, access, setbacks and a 15% cap on concurrent rentals.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6623056,"Council approves reduced-density redesign for Technology Parkway South site; one member opposes",813,672000,1485000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2777454-424b80ed27fd7713bb1d93f5e8ed8824&start=672&end=1485","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2777454-424b80ed27fd7713bb1d93f5e8ed8824/thumbnail_672000.jpg","/articles/6623056/Peachtree-Corners/Gwinnett-County/Georgia/Council-approves-reduced-density-redesign-for-Technology-Parkway-South-site-one-member-opposes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6623056-b018a91d093197f2cf1f27ed70ef4ea5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771191421&Signature=QuC8JTYIn61oud9K0YbRH0p3ombwLocdCDtP7nGMT9VGkNAWGis7G16gHe~EM5r5Ra2eMENw1eZMuTUvMnVGpYwjpzXbZjV8qEIc~i5HmpZd7N~Pn0WfcF-fcFlEQs~nHlM2353d5t~PSiXVfIjHKscA3qEtTtVnCSYfLFY3zRt5OjpBz-btLb3q-ZC-xMyxpQ8KejS67U2ds~KCnovXiWeLOIE1BhCgD6q~gHPLfBm-6XBTAbiqNZ1wQEMmKZo7vdJIp6TIpNEoGNxY9ZCURyo38Kx314Ms0dIMVBTalpgEEdDWksF8Be~PnICE1Cj9HDe8z7tv15MolYdJA5GTkA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Peachtree Corners City Council approved a change of conditions on a previously authorized mixed‑use development at 2022 Technology Parkway South, shifting the site from the 2021 entitlement of 382 apartments to a proposed 326‑unit plan and reducing impervious surface and buffer encroachments.

City planner Sean Adams told council the project remains zoned MUD and described the new plan as a less‑intense alternative that removes two previously entitled buildings, reduces units and lowers overall impervious cover. Adams said staff recommended approval with conditions that define maximum buffer encroachments, set the unit cap at 326 and require substantial conformity to the presented site plan and elevations.

Den Webb, representing the applicant Alliance Residential LLC, told the council the team is targeting a September start if entitlements are approved. \"We're targeting September,\" Webb said. He and project team members said the revised plan keeps the previously approved mixed‑use components — about 8,000 square feet of office and 2,000 square feet of restaurant/retail — while lowering net unit count and improving environmental impacts.

Alliance representative Noah Randall described the developer’s operating rationale for fewer units, saying very large multifamily projects can create operational challenges and that the company prefers a product size in the roughly 300‑unit range. He said the revised unit mix will include a higher share of one‑bedroom apartments, with average one‑bedrooms about 750 square feet and two‑bedrooms averaging about 1,050–1,100 square feet.

Adams noted that the change in conditions also includes a switch from a requirement of “general conformity” to “substantial conformity” for the site plan and elevations, tightening what the council should expect to see built. The developer also agreed to provide a public art piece coordinated with the city’s arts council in place of a previously entitled mural.

A motion to approve the change passed; the council chair reported one opposed vote — identified in the meeting as “Joe.” No roll‑call tally naming other councilmembers was recorded in the transcript.

The council did not detail a construction schedule beyond the applicant’s statement targeting a September start. Staff said the approved conditions will remain in force unless modified in a later proceeding.","The City Council approved a change of conditions for the mixed‑use development at 2022 Technology Parkway South, reducing entitlement from 382 to 326 apartments and cutting impervious surface and buffer encroachments. The motion passed with one member recorded in opposition.","actionData","errors"]
