Planning commission approves Magnolia Dental elevations for 100 Gates Entry
Summary
The commission approved building elevations for Magnolia Dental (100 Gates Entry), accepting stone, brick and timber detailing; Jefferson Brown said the timber will weather to blend with the palette and staff recommended approval as meeting design standards.
The Peachtree City Planning Commission voted Nov. 18 to approve building elevations for Magnolia Dental at 100 Gates Entry.
Staff presented the proposal for two office parcels at the south end of town in an OI (office/institutional) zoning district, noting the property was rezoned when annexed in Feb. 2012 and that architectural conditions require building materials and color selection consistent across facades. Staff described facades of stone and brick, a darker 'Harbor Bluff' stone, light‑colored brick and a charcoal metal roof and recommended approval, concluding the proposal meets the zoning district’s design standards.
Jefferson Brown of Jefferson Architecture said the owners met with the neighborhood and that the design is complementary rather than a copy of the neighboring building; he told the commission, "They did a tremendous job" and clarified the finish material on the detailing: "It actually is timber." Commissioner Leota asked about roof drainage; Brown said gable roofs will include collectors and downspouts that will be piped into the stormwater detention system to keep water off sidewalks. Chair confirmed the timber will be cedar and that it will gray over time.
Commissioner Reeves moved to approve the elevations for Magnolia Dental; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote with no recorded opposition.
The approval permits the architect and owner to proceed under the zoning‑conditioned design guidelines. Staff reported the property’s architecture and materials meet the conditions established at rezoning.
