Commission approves special-use permit, variance for health and wellness center on North Sally Loop
Summary
The Planning and Zoning Commission approved SUP25-0024 and a variance to allow up to a 20,000-square-foot health and wellness professional office at 2311 North Sally Loop after applicants described a mixed-use longevity/rehabilitation facility.
The Roswell Planning and Zoning Commission voted to approve a special use permit and a variance allowing a health-and-wellness professional office up to 20,000 square feet at 2311 North Sally Loop, a consolidation of three lots at the north end of a professional-office cul-de-sac.
Planning staff said the site is in the R-3 Residential Zoning District; professional offices are allowed up to 10,000 square feet per lot, and the project would consolidate three lots into one 1.6-acre parcel and build up to 20,000 square feet in total. Staff reported zero written protests and one inquiry from a nearby landowner, Alan Tucker, who requested the conceptual site plan.
Dr. MJ Lewis, who identified herself as the applicant and a provider at Rock Chiropractic, told the commission the proposed facility will combine chiropractic care, rehabilitation modalities and “weights that will be used for rehabilitation and care,” along with passive therapies such as red-light tables, vibration and electrotherapy. Lewis said the center is intended to serve a broad age range; she described programming for children and adults and said the facility’s focus is “longevity.” Scott Hicks of Smith Engineering, the project agent, told commissioners the building will fit the cul-de-sac and that consolidating the three lots into one would still yield less total square footage than three separate 10,000-square-foot buildings.
Commission discussion focused on proposed uses and compatibility with existing professional offices on the street; Commissioner Gilmore asked whether the facility would include a pool, and the agent said no. Commissioner Willassard (speaker recorded as making the motion) moved to approve SUP25-0024 “based on the land use and zoning considerations,” and Commissioner Gilmore seconded; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Staff noted the conceptual site plan is in meeting packet materials and that two lots in the cul-de-sac are already developed with professional offices, including Rock Chiropractic. The file shows the project team intends to retain the existing chiropractic practice building and construct the new facility on the consolidated parcel. No pool or aquatic facilities were proposed in the discussion on record.
