Public hearing held on PUD modification flipping residential and commercial orientations
Summary
A public hearing opened on a PUD amendment (Z-24-05) from Wyn Peacock LLC to modify a previously approved PUD so the residential portion fronts Industrial Boulevard adjacent to the proposed city hall; Planning and Zoning recommended approval and the owner said it will flip the development to accommodate the city.
Hoschton — The council opened a public hearing on Z-24-05, a request from Wyn Peacock LLC to amend conditions of an earlier planned-unit-development ordinance (Z-21-11, modified by Z-22-13) for about 11.5 acres fronting Industrial Boulevard, State Route 53 and White Street.
The modification would change the approved site plan so the residential portion of the development fronts Industrial Boulevard while the commercial components will abut the new city hall site. Planning and Zoning recommended approval.
A representative for the property owner, Matt Benson, described the owner’s willingness to adapt the site. “The owner is excited to participate as a partner with the city, accommodate the city's request, and flip his development in accordance with that request,” Benson said, adding the change is intended to benefit both the development and city residents.
Sway Kumar, who identified himself as the property owner and representative of Wyn Peacock LLC, said questions such as bus-stop locations for schoolchildren are to be decided “in accordance and collaboration with the city council” as the development advances.
Planning staff identified potential rezoning/conditional PUD conditions that the council could consider: connections to a multiuse path through the properties, interparcel access between adjacent developments, and additional screening or buffer requirements where the city’s development abuts residential neighborhoods. Staff noted the zoning ordinance does not automatically require institutional-to-residential buffers but said the council could add screening conditions.
The council did not vote on Z-24-05 during the meeting; the public hearing was opened and closed and staff will return recommended conditions for council consideration.
