Commissioners approved a Special Use Permit (SUP-01-053) permitting the New Church of
Atlanta to use the adjacent property (a 28, 106 square foot brick office building constructed in
1986) as a church building with the following two conditions: 1. All activities shall be conducted
within the leased building area; and, 2. Obtain required inspections and interior finish building
permits for church occupancy.
DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
The subject property is a 2.9-acre site located at 2865 Amwiler Road. It is the back building of
a two-building office center that is accessed by an island-divided entrance at Amwiler Road.
The parking and driveways for the two buildings are inter-connected. The front building has
been used as the worship center, office, and day care for the church since 2001.
The property is surrounded by M-1 (Light Industry) and M-2 (Heavy Industry) zoned property.
Thermo-King, a refrigerated truck maintenance, repair, and storage facility is located
immediately east of this iste. Office-Warehouse uses also abut the property on its other sides.
Across Amwiler Road to the south is a metal recycling center and to the rear of the property
are open storage yards and a concrete mixing plant.
The 2033 Comprehensive Plan indicates that the parcel lies within the Industrial character area.
This character area encourages the adaptive reuse of existing underutilized structures. The
proposed use conforms to this development guideline. The Industrial character area also seeks
to apply high standards of architectural design and building materials such as the existing brick
exterior on this structure. The request to permit church uses in this existing structure would
be consistent with the policies of the Character area and would put a vacant building back into
productive use.
SUMMARY:
The adjacent front building already exists as a church and has been in operation for over a
dozen years without problems. Since the site is adequate for church uses and the vacant
building behind the existing church is a logical location for expansion, it is recommended that
SUP2014-003, request to permit church uses in an existing vacant building at 2865 Amwiler
Road, be approved with the following conditions:
1. Required inspections and interior finish permits shall be obtained before occupancy.
2. The three (3) parcels owned by the church shall be combined into one tax parcel
(6-250-050, 6-250-060, 6-250-062)

FROM: Diana Wheeler, Community Development Director
DATE: September 16, 2014
SUBJECT: Gateway Grant Landscape Plan_______________________________
Pond and Co. has developed a landscape and lighting plan (attached) to utilize the Gateway Grant and
augment the existing Gateway sign at the City’s southern entrance.
Often times, landscaping and lighting are used as background elements to signage. However, in this
case where traffic moves quickly and the sign is easy to overlook, the designers felt that a bold plan was
needed. They developed a design that utilizes landscaping and lighting as the stage setting for the
existing, low-profile sign. The plan’s concept is based on drawing the motorist’s eye to the sign by using
visual perspective and distance together with strategically placed landscaping and lighting.
The plan calls for a long, repetitive row of trees to be planted well in advance of the sign in order to
provide the motorist with a visual cue that something lies ahead at the end of the row. Each tree would
have an up-light to enhance its verticality and, when combined, all the lights would emphasize the linear
progression toward the sign. Ground cover in front of the trees as well as Cherry and Red Bud trees
behind the sign would further direct the eye toward the sign through the use of vibrant color. All the
landscaping and lighting would work in concert to make the sign the focal point of a unified gateway
feature.
Pond also prepared a preliminary cost estimate (attached) for this project. The cost estimate identifies
the items eligible for the $50,000 grant funding and those that are outside of the grant’s scope. The cost
estimate does not include the anticipated $20,000 generously offered by UPCCA toward lighting. In
summary, the cost for the entire project is estimated to be $149,567. When the Gateway Grant and
UPCCA’s contribution are subtracted from the total, the remaining $79,567 would be the City’s
contribution to the Gateway project.
Next Steps:
Option 1: Authorize Staff to proceed with this plan; or
Option 2: Identify an alternate project cost or plan objective so that modifications to the plan
can be made.

SUBJECT: Life Cycle Housing and Economic Development____________________
Peachtree Corners was founded on the concept of locating housing close to jobs, an innovative idea for a
time when most housing and jobs were intentionally separated by miles of highways. The ‘live near work’
model has served the City well over the years and has resulted in the development of quality single-family
homes within easy access of Technology Park and other business developments. Over the years, the ‘live
near work’ model has stayed strong and has even become the preferred alternative in most metro
communities. However, the ‘live’ and ‘work’ components, themselves, have undergone a dramatic change.
Through advancements in technology, workers have become more mobile and many no longer need or want
to be tied to a specific location. In addition, the recent collapse and slow resurgence of the housing market
has made many, especially younger, people hesitant to spend their limited funds on housing, a potentially
unreliable investment.
These factors create an economic development challenge because businesses often base their locational
decisions on the availability of workforce. And the workforce often makes its locational decision based on
the availability of housing. Housing near the city’s center and Technology Park, for example, has to meet the
needs and expectation of the employees that high-tech businesses require and must attract to this area in
order to make Peachtree Corners a viable location for their companies. The single-family detached home
within walking distance of a good school is not the preferred housing choice for today’s younger, tech savvy
employee. And their priorities have evolved to take precedence over the priorities of others as businesses
work hard to recruit the skilled work force they need.
However, it’s also important to note that business recruitment is not the only important aspect of economic
development that should concern the City. Peachtree Corners is currently home to have many quality
companies that have been here for years. These businesses must routinely evaluate their products and
services and must be prepared to adapt to the marketplace in order to remain viable. Most of these
businesses are not property owners, but are tenants with leases that cycle in regular intervals. This means
that if Peachtree Corners does not meet their needs and those of their employees, it risks losing existing
businesses in addition to not being able to compete for new ones.
Over the past fifteen years, the housing and jobs dynamic has experienced a significant transformation; yet,
the City of Peachtree Corners housing options have remained relatively unchanged. 88% percent of the
City’s housing stock was built prior to the year 2000. The average age for a home in Peachtree Corners is 27
years. The City’s Comprehensive Plan (p. 82) anticipates a need for 3667 additional housing units over the
next twenty years, a 22% increase over the City’s current 16,715 housing units. 47% of all the City’s housing
consists of single-family detached homes. In a suburban environment, these types of units are generally
favored by people up to 18 years of age and in the 30 -55 year old age bracket primarily consisting of families
with children. However there are at least three additional age demographics that need to be accommodated
in order for Peachtree Corners to have full life cycle housing options. The first one of these has the greatest
impact on jobs and, therefore, requires the most immediate attention.
The Millenials represent the 19 – 30 year olds who do not live in their parents’ home and don’t want to
purchase their own. They want to maintain their mobility and job flexibility. They don’t need to be near
good schools, but they want to be close to work, shopping and entertainment. They prefer to rent or lease
within mixed use areas that offer lots of amenities.
Seniors represent the 55-80 year old demographic who no longer need a larger family home and all of its
associated maintenance. Empty-nesters often want to ‘downsize’ in order to reduce their expenses and
streamline their living conditions. Some older Seniors are widows whose adult children live too far away to
assist with home maintenance. They often prefer to rent housing in order to shift the home maintenance
burden to a landlord. Like the Millenials, Seniors don’t need to live close to good schools. However, unlike
Millenials, many Seniors are retired and also don’t need to be too close to jobs.
Mature Adults represent the over 80 year old demographic. This age group often does best in a congregate
living environment where many daily services such as cooking and laundry are provided. Assisted Living
facilities and Progressive Care Communities offer many Mature Adults the opportunity to continue to live in
familiar surroundings near family, friends, and their houses of worship. Congregate housing facilities don’t
need to be near schools or jobs and since their residents are vehicle dependent, congregate housing can be
located throughout the city.
Staff has prepared a map, (attached), that identifies areas appropriate for Millenial and Senior housing. The
base map used for this document is the elementary school zone map. Although the housing areas shown on
the map both fall within the Peachtree Elementary zone, it should be noted that neither the Millenials or
Seniors make any significant contributions to elementary schools.
Next Steps: If there is interest in accommodating Millenial and Senior housing, Staff can prepare additional
documents for consideration such as draft regulations for age-restricted housing and draft regulations for
Millenial Housing.
