Applicant seeks rezoning at 3730 Old Alabama Road for 8,000‑sq‑ft medical/orthodontics building
Summary
The applicant asked the City of Johns Creek to rezone two parcels at 3730 Old Alabama Road to a unified C-1 community business district to permit an 8,000 sq ft medical/orthodontics building with three tenant suites; the public participation meeting included presentation of site constraints, proposed access and a concurrent variance request.
Ruchi Agarwal, planning and zoning manager for the City of Johns Creek, opened a public participation meeting on a rezoning request affecting 3730 Old Alabama Road, a two‑parcel site totaling about 2.7 acres. Agarwal said the application was submitted last month and that the public participation meeting precedes planning‑commission and city‑council hearings scheduled down the line in February.
Alex Brock, zoning attorney with Smith Gambrell Russell representing the applicant Big Properties, described the rezoning request: a change to unified C‑1 (community business) zoning to allow an 8,000‑square‑foot professional building with three tenant suites, including space proposed for Newpark Orthodontics. Brock said the site currently consists of two parcels with different zoning histories and that the applicant also seeks to remove prior zoning conditions from the 1980s that would prevent development.
Brock summarized the development program and constraints: "Out of the 2.696 acres, approximately 0.84 acres is buildable," he said, and the project would provide about 39 on‑site parking spaces. He said architectural materials would be primarily brick and stone with glazing and that elevations show limited visibility of the rear wall except from within the woods or stream.
The presentation concluded with a handoff to an interactive, in‑person Q&A (the livestream was stopped for the interactive portion). Agarwal reminded attendees that this public participation meeting is an opportunity to share concerns with the applicant before formal hearings.
