Commission approves facade upgrades for NCR property on Hwy. 74 with accessibility suggestion
Summary
The commission approved facade upgrades at 200 Highway 74 South to add fiber-cement cladding, storefront windows and a new corner element; commissioners suggested selecting the alternate entrance design to better meet ADA/accessibility depending on future tenants.
Peachtree City’s Planning Commission on Nov. 10 approved elevation modifications for an existing industrial property at 200 Highway 74 South, allowing façade upgrades including fiber-cement cladding, new storefront windows and a new corner element facing the highway. The commission recorded a preference — not a binding requirement — that the applicant favor the alternate entrance design that provides better ADA access depending on tenant needs.
Planning staff explained the scope of work is concentrated on the north facade and a corner entry feature; the north facade would be roughly 36% fiber-cement cladding, and the east (highway-facing) side would see about 850 square feet (approximately 9.5% of that facade) of fiber cement. Staff noted the existing building contains no primary materials and that the upgrades introduce primary materials where none existed.
The project team said the work is part of an adaptive-reuse approach intended to attract front-of-building commercial or medical tenants while retaining NCR as a tenant in another portion of the building. The applicant described two alternate entrance concepts: one that better satisfies ADA access for certain tenant types (may require an elevator) and one that is more monument-stair oriented. The architect said both options are presented because they do not have a tenant locked in and different tenants may require different access solutions.
Commissioners asked whether the redesign changes the building’s industrial zoning or uses; staff said any future use changes would trigger separate reviews and possibly rezoning or business-license steps. Commissioners emphasized accessibility and suggested the alternate entrance as the preferred option; they did not make it a binding condition. Commissioner Chris moved to approve the façade modifications with a planning-commission preference that the alternate entrance be selected; the motion received a second and passed by voice vote.
Staff and the applicant indicated a future submittal will include lighting and landscape details and that any tenant-driven accessibility work will be incorporated as needed during fit-out and permit review.
