Council approves Providence Group plan for 77 townhomes at 333 Research Court with conditions
Summary
The council rezoned 333 Research Court to allow a 77‑unit townhome development; staff and the applicant agreed to conditions addressing fencing, access, setbacks and a 15% cap on concurrent rentals.
The Peachtree Corners City Council voted to approve a rezoning for 333 Research Court that will convert a mostly vacant office site into a 77‑unit townhome development, subject to conditions covering access, setbacks, fences and homeowner association rules limiting concurrent rentals.
Community Development Director Sean Adams summarized the application and noted modifications since planning commission review. The applicant revised a prior stacked‑townhome proposal to a residential townhome (RTH) plan for 77 units; the plan eliminates two curb cuts, adds a single curb cut aligned with the street to reduce conflict points, and proposes perimeter fencing designed to address security concerns near Norcross High School.
Alex Brock, attorney for the Providence Group of Georgia, described changes the applicant made after planning commission concerns and said the proposal aligns with the city’s small area study and prior long‑range planning. Brock said the site’s existing office building is largely vacant and that adding residential will activate the area after business hours.
Brock also presented the applicant’s proposed conditions for gating, private drives and fence details; he told council the development includes sidewalks and internal pedestrian connectivity and that the homeowner association will limit concurrent rentals to 15%.
Mike Dwiner, a local business owner, spoke in favor and asked the council to defer action on the landscape strip variance until neighbors can review the landscape plan. In closing, Adams said landscape strip requirements are enforced through the land development permitting process and that staff would enforce code requirements at LDP and CO stages.
The council approved the rezoning and conditions (the motion was made and seconded on the floor); the approval includes a condition that at least 77 townhomes may be built with substantial conformity to the submitted site plan and elevations and a cap allowing no more than 15% of units to be rented concurrently.
