Developers seek special permit for 175‑room, six‑story hotel at Medley in Johns Creek
Summary
At a Johns Creek Planning & Zoning meeting, an applicant requested a special use permit to exceed the TCX height limit and build a 175‑room, six‑story (about 70–75 ft) boutique hotel at the 41.71‑acre Medley Mixed Use Development, replacing some previously planned retail and claiming a net reduction in daily trips.
At the meeting, the second applicant described changes to the previously approved Medley Mixed Use Development at 11350 Johns Creek Parkway, seeking a special use permit (SUP‑24‑0002) to exceed the TCX zoning district's 60‑foot height limit for a proposed six‑story, roughly 70–75‑foot, 175‑room boutique hotel.
Mark Toro, the applicant representative, explained the site’s rezoning history — TCX conditional zoning was approved in December 2022 — and said the current proposal does not change the zoning district but requests modified conditions to permit the taller hotel. He said the revision reduces retail from the previously approved 200,000 square feet to about 155,000 square feet while keeping planned office, townhomes, and rental homes largely unchanged.
Toro told the meeting the revised plan reduces vehicle trips compared with earlier plans: "We reduced the traffic by 460 daily trips, compared to what was originally planned," he said. He described active retail leasing at Medley and compared renderings to nearby Avalon development examples.
The presentation closed with staff moving to the public Q&A portion; no formal decision or vote on the special use permit occurred at the meeting.
Next steps: the special use permit request will continue through the city's application review and public comment process; no final action was taken at this session.
