“Why do we have the city of Peachtree Corners? When it first came out that we want to have a city, it was to control trash removal, but it was also more important to control our zoning,” said William Monet, who gave his address as 4373 Wickershire Way. Monet said he has lived in the city “since its inception” and that he fears judges will require the city to allow Section 8 housing on major corridors, which he said would bring crime and require the creation of a municipal police force.

Monet criticized recent multifamily developments and described a nearby senior development, Waterside, as oriented toward narrow, tall townhouses that he said do not appear senior-friendly. He urged the council to resist approving projects without more court challenges to developers: “The process is the punishment,” he said, arguing lengthy appeals can make developers “give up.”

Council members did not engage in extended discussion on the comment; the mayor thanked Monet and proceeded with the agenda.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Peachtree Corners City Council Meeting April 22, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","A resident urged the council to resist apartment development and to use city funds to contest developers in court, warning that federal Section 8 housing could bring increased crime and a need for a city police force.","taxTitle","Peachtree Corners, Gwinnett County, Georgia","taxId",57673,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6577807,"Peachtree Corners council adopts ordinance to raise elected-official pay starting 2026",193,1232000,1425000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3093214-e46bd16ca1804054a31fb82fa2583def&start=1232&end=1425","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3093214-e46bd16ca1804054a31fb82fa2583def/thumbnail_1232000.jpg","/articles/6577807/Peachtree-Corners/Gwinnett-County/Georgia/Peachtree-Corners-council-adopts-ordinance-to-raise-elected-official-pay-starting-2026","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577807-38a44d8fa999b3e084564f4393d41b7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170791&Signature=jaCXfl48ZO3T2cEucdhgSCCictnJklLTa8epxh7miEBWp04DiSyKq3N8PYQkfH591LOQoAIPwS2Cxn-WEnACgtdXLUJAVW6OZ-2CmZP43GXlkwY6OMVyoZuxW2upEVM8NLEoku0G3VitpQMJL6YDx-7wzfI5ZBe~ne6WmNkFoNNLnOD0bJch4obeat-THh04Y8D-Jvqi47YiWNk2MgJXTT-6hBlED7ho10pXkrKq735yu5BBEbcD1QZWYzAwKYHcZYc2mQ-gbljsjnAgpz2LhNK5lIfQE8VvJZk4L0cRwCiyaIVsmlQqzpleiIFKz7RRWsU7Kzs1BejYeMYlSOga1Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Peachtree Corners — The City Council approved an ordinance to adjust elected officials’ pay, setting the annual salary for each council member at $11,000 and the mayor’s annual salary at $1,000 more, effective Jan. 1, 2026. The ordinance ties future increases to the lesser of the consumer price index or the cost‑of‑living increases granted to city employees in any given year.

City staff said the salaries have been unchanged since the city’s incorporation in February 2012 and that the ordinance is intended to address the decrease in real compensation since then. The ordinance was published in the city’s legal organ for three consecutive weeks before the meeting, the city manager noted in presenting the item.

The ordinance specifies that the salary adjustment will not take effect until after the next municipal election (effective Jan. 1, 2026) and requires annual publication of the increase in the legal organ. Council approved the item on a motion, second and voice vote; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the transcript.","Council adopted an ordinance setting council members' annual salary at $11,000 and the mayor's salary at $1,000 more, effective Jan. 1, 2026; future increases will track the lesser of the CPI or city employee cost-of-living adjustments.",{"_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},6577812,"Peachtree Corners council approves consent items including right-of-way acquisitions and renaming Technology Parkway South",130,446000,576000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3093214-e46bd16ca1804054a31fb82fa2583def&start=446&end=576","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3093214-e46bd16ca1804054a31fb82fa2583def/thumbnail_446000.jpg","/articles/6577812/Peachtree-Corners/Gwinnett-County/Georgia/Peachtree-Corners-council-approves-consent-items-including-right-of-way-acquisitions-and-renaming-Technology-Parkway-South","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6577812-d3bb804450708b8674c503fb38890911/orig.mp4?Expires=1771170791&Signature=bhzTYrG0id07YFjtbBgEpdg8tVoHwHUxXQtiVmZiqsr9AXT2odkpY-Pz3-h-~o47pXRBVVB5R8CcSj7J85R-SJgXK2QJxXCzay45KFXlkau8m2G2~bKfYcOc9QAQBVSl6BV-dNOFp-pHk589KE-kEnl1EkMsfI5cbmKDAFbHqQj9KgZqoSAZpV8s2Y7xSoWUxQoYjO3-3SKemh3uRI8o234Sda4B7XPKSuJrhTtAQrKck68tNN8FYZewWk6ZeyvfHi0Pb0OGVZyOyeM~ZsqzfK4DwrIYESl8bZEcZq2ZI~bgIVZ4vIDzJW3HZncvJ4nNRK8A0SCcEshSfIfgbnX8fg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Peachtree Corners — The City Council approved three consent-agenda items without discussion: authorization to execute right-of-way and easement acquisitions for an intersection-improvement project; an intergovernmental agreement with the Gwinnett County Board of Voter Registrations and Elections for use of election equipment; and a resolution supporting the renaming of Technology Parkway South to Innovation Drive.

The city manager presented the consent agenda as consisting of the three items; there were no questions from councilors and the consent agenda was adopted by a motion, a second and an affirmative voice vote. The transcript records no roll-call tally.

The council also approved changing the planning commission from five members and two alternates to seven full members.

City planning staff framed the package as a cleanup and gap-filling effort. “This is another example of filling the gaps in part of our zoning code,” said Sean Adams, city planning staff, explaining the changes to definitions and the thresholds that will trigger additional review. Adams said the proposal defines “health club and fitness center” and treats larger facilities as a special use in some commercial zones so the city can assess parking and infrastructure impacts on a case-by-case basis.

The amendments make health clubs/fitness centers larger than 7,500 square feet subject to a special-use permit in the C‑2 (general business) zone, removing that category as a by-right use in C‑2. Adams said the 7,500-square-foot threshold was chosen after comparing nearby jurisdictions and typical footprints for chains: “Planet Fitness … tend to be over 10 [thousand square feet] and push in that 15 to 20 range,” he said.

Council also adopted revisions to off-street parking rules that include: a minimum driveway definition (at least 10 feet wide and 20 feet long, paved to the street), a revised parking ratio for fitness centers (updated to 8 spaces per 1,000 square feet), a reduced warehouse parking ratio (from 1 per 2,500 sq. ft. to 1 per 2,000 sq. ft.), standardized parking maximums, and a new shared-parking framework that requires a recorded shared-parking agreement and allocates parking by time-of-day use for mixed-use developments.

On data centers, the council approved an amendment that narrows where data centers may locate. The text amendment adds a definition for data centers and prohibits them in the Central Business District; it limits sites where they can be permitted to M2 (heavy industrial) parcels. Adams told the council the city currently has no undeveloped M2 acreage large enough for the multi-acre facilities some firms seek and that smaller M2 parcels are typically developed and would likely require parcel assembly and redevelopment.

The council also voted to expand the planning commission to seven full members (converting two alternates to full members) so the planning commission and the zoning board of appeals now share a seven-member roster.

All items were approved on second reading by voice vote; the meeting transcript records a motion and a second for each item and “all in favor” raised hands, and no roll-call vote tallies were provided.

The package is intended to give the city more flexibility to review larger, more intense commercial uses and to modernize parking rules for mixed‑use development.

Votes at a glance: the council approved the text amendments on fitness centers, off-street parking (including shared parking and driveway definitions), data centers, and the planning commission membership change on second reading/approval.","On second reading the Peachtree Corners City Council approved multiple text amendments to the city zoning code — defining large health clubs, revising off-street parking rules, restricting data centers and expanding planning commission membership.","actionData","errors"]
