Alpharetta council unanimously approves conditional use for Chung’s Taekwondo Academy
Summary
The City Council approved a conditional use to allow Chung’s Taekwondo Academy to relocate to a 2,200-square-foot suite at 480 North Main Street; Planning Commission and staff recommended approval with conditions.
The Alpharetta City Council on June 23 approved a conditional use request allowing Chung’s Taekwondo Academy to operate a commercial school in a 2,200-square-foot suite at 480 North Main Street, Suite 216.
City planning staff told the council the proposed martial-arts school would relocate from a Milton address and operate Monday–Friday and Saturday hours as submitted. Staff said the site provides sufficient parking, includes no exterior changes, and is consistent with similar uses previously permitted in the Main Street Walk shopping center. Planning Commission recommended unanimous approval with five conditions in the staff report.
Applicant Oi Hwang Jeong (who uses the name John Jeong in the U.S.) described 60 years of experience teaching Taekwondo and asked council for its support to bring classes to Alpharetta. There were no public comments for or against during the public hearing. Mayor Pro Tem Markle moved to approve the conditional use; Councilman Mitchell seconded. The motion passed unanimously.
The approval permits the martial-arts school use at the identified suite subject to the conditions in the staff report; no exterior or site modifications are authorized beyond what was presented to council. Any future changes to the use, hours or physical site would require additional review consistent with the city’s land-development rules.
Council members and staff noted the Planning Commission’s review and the applicant’s citizen participation report, which staff said indicated no public opposition at the Community Zoning Information meeting.
