Planning Commission approves conceptual site plan for Ospoosh campus at 1601 Moba Drive
Summary
Peachtree City Planning Commission approved a conceptual site plan March 24 for a proposed Ospoosh utility services campus at 1601 Moba Drive — a 25,000-square-foot warehouse, a two‑story office and a testing yard — after staff said the plan meets zoning standards and a previously granted setback variance.
The Peachtree City Planning Commission on March 24 approved a conceptual site plan for a proposed Ospoosh utility services campus at 1601 Moba Drive that would include a 25,000-square-foot warehouse, an approximately 18,000-square-foot two‑story office and an outdoor testing yard, city staff said.
Staff presented the site as Lot 5 of the Moba Industrial Complex, a 6.33-acre tract adjacent to Highway 74 and neighboring Earl’s auto and Moon Valley Nursery. Laura, city planning staff, told commissioners the parcel is zoned GI (General Industrial), the uses are permitted in that district and the submitted plan meets the city’s development standards.
Developer Chuck Ogletree of Southtree Commercial Development said Ospoosh utility services — a utility infrastructure contractor that the developer said has had operations in Peachtree City for about 10 years — is seeking a consolidated campus there after downsizing from another lease elsewhere. Ogletree said the company prioritized preserving an existing landscape buffer along Highway 74, which prompted a variance request that city council approved prior to the Planning Commission action. “We shifted the building and the parking to the east and to the south so that we can completely stay out of this buffer,” Ogletree said.
Laura told the commission the front setback had been reduced by city council from 50 feet to 30 feet, enabling the proposed building and parking layout. The site plan shows 73 parking spaces and separate entrances for automobile parking and truck loading; staff noted separating those entrances should reduce conflicts between truck and auto traffic. The plan also includes an equipment testing area where, per the applicant, crews test utility poles and related hardware.
A commissioner moved to approve the conceptual site plan “as submitted with the understanding that the variance indicated has already been approved.” The motion passed with all commissioners saying “aye.” The motion’s text and the commission’s approval referenced the prior variance approval by city council on March 20, 2025.
Next steps: because the parcel abuts Highway 74 — classified by staff as an arterial — the project will return for architectural review by the Planning Commission before building permits move forward, staff said.
