Johns Creek council allows reinitiation of land‑use petition for 3730 Old Alabama Road
Summary
Council voted to reinitiate consideration of a land‑use petition for 3730 Old Alabama Road; staff said the new proposal — a smaller medical office plan with fewer variances than the previously denied 2016 proposal — will be brought back for full hearing.
The Johns Creek City Council approved a request to reinitiate a land‑use petition for 3730 Old Alabama Road so the applicant may present a revised application. Director Ben Song told the council the original mixed‑use plan denied in 2016 was for roughly 11,000 square feet and included multiple variances; the new proposal narrows the scope to an approximately 8,000‑square‑foot medical office, reduces the number of variances and removes a drive‑through from the plan.
Under city ordinance, reinitiation requires demonstrating the new petition is significantly different from the prior denial; Director Song summarized those differences (use, square footage and number of variances) and the council approved reinitiation after a motion and second. Council members recorded no extended debate on the motion.
Reinitiation allows the applicant to return with a full site plan and public hearing on the revised proposal; subsequent hearings and any request for variances will be subject to Planning Commission review and another council decision.
