Planning Commission hears rezoning request for two homes at 9110 Bramlow Road
Summary
Planning staff recommended approval of a rezoning and concurrent variance at 9110 Bramlow Road to allow two single-family lots; staff noted the proposal meets comp-plan density guidance, recommended alternative stormwater BMPs, and recommended approval with conditions. The transcript contains no recorded final vote on the rezoning.
The City of Johns Creek Planning Commission heard a staff presentation on rezoning case RZ-24-0009 and concurrent variance VC-24-0006 for the property at 9110 Bramlow Road, a 0.926-acre lot where the applicant seeks to create two single-family lots. Planning staff identified the requested zoning as R‑4A and said the proposal would result in a density of about 2.16 units per acre, consistent with the comprehensive plan’s guidance for the Newtown community area.
"The request is for a two-lot single-family detached residential subdivision at a density of 2.16 units per acre," planning staff member Ruchi Agarwal said in her presentation, noting the proposed minimum lot area (19,972 square feet) and that the houses would meet a 4,500-square-foot minimum heated floor area. Agarwal said the applicant’s proposed use of cisterns for runoff reduction is not a qualified BMP under city requirements and that the applicant would need to provide an alternate BMP at the land disturbance permit stage.
Applicant Peyton Anderson of Davis Engineering & Surveying said his team would not use cisterns and instead expects to rely on infiltration trenches or a bioretention solution when the project reaches the LDP phase. "Cisterns of course would not be used. We'll use an infiltration trench or bio retention area," Anderson said, adding that final selections will be resolved during design review.
Owner J. Posada, who spoke in favor, said the two proposed homes would have modern architectural features and asked the commission to allow a 60% brick/stone and 40% board-and-batten exterior mix. "We propose to build these two houses," Posada said, adding a materials preference request for the façades.
Staff told the commission the project is expected to generate about 18 daily vehicle trips (two trips in the morning peak and two in the evening peak) and that Fulton County Public Works confirmed adequate water and sewer capacity. Agarwal recommended approval of RZ-24-0009 and VC-24-0006 with conditions but did not record a final commission vote in the provided transcript.
The public hearing was closed after no speakers opposed the project. Commissioners then asked questions about the heavily wooded site, the technical need for an easement for a shared driveway, and how stormwater and façade requirements will be handled at the permit stage. The transcript ends with staff clarifying that common open-space requirements typically apply to larger subdivisions and that BMPs will be finalized with land disturbance permitting.
