CITY OF PEACHTREE CORNERS COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
APPLICATION FOR METROPOLITAN RIVER PROTECTION ACT
CERTIFICATE
CASE NUMBER: PH2019-003
LOCATION: E. Jones Bridge Road
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: 115-acre new retirement home community
CONTACT: Warren Jolly PHONE: 770-218-1725
OWNER: Ty White
2494 Jett Ferry Road
Suite 202
Dunwoody, GA 30338
REQUEST SUMMARY:
The proposed development in question is 115 acres, composed of 6 different parcels, 5 of
which are in the River Corridor. The property has a stream and floodplain located on its
property. The applicant received approval for a special use permit to allow for development of
a retirement community in a combination of new and existing buildings at this property which
was formerly home to FiServ offices. The development was approved for a maximum of 916
residential units of varying types through reuse of some existing buildings and new
construction of others. The primary one-way entrance and exit roadways were conditioned to
be maintained in their current configuration and some new, internal roadways were proposed
to be added.
The owner wishes to demo 2 out the 4 existing buildings and build a new retirement home
community. This property is within 2,000 feet of the Chattahoochee River and therefore,
requires a MRPA certification by the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC). Clearing and
impervious area restrictions were recently conducted by AEC, Inc. The applicant requests
certification of this property in accordance with the Metropolitan River Corridor Protection Act
(MRPA).
HISTORY:
In 1973, in response to growing concerns about the Chattahoochee River, the Georgia
General Assembly enacted the Metropolitan River Protection Act (Georgia Code 12-5-440 et
seq.). It established a 2000-foot corridor along both banks of the Chattahoochee and its
impoundments for the 48 miles between Buford Dam and Peachtree Creek.
The act requires the ARC to protect the Chattahoochee River Corridor and to review new
development proposals. The act requires local governments along the corridor to implement the
ARC plan by issuing permits based on ARC findings, monitoring land- disturbing activity in the
corridor and enforcing the act and the plan. Permit submittals for new homes and additions
within the Chattahoochee River Corridor must show legal compliance with the plan.
1
A portion of the land being submitted for the proposed retirement community off East Jones
Bridge was included in a 1991 Metro River review after it had been reviewed as part of SSI-
Simmons (FISERV) review in 1987 (RC-87-03GC). The land in question is the area between
Farrell Creek and East Jones Bridge. The subdivision review included a 500-foot setback along
a small stretch of riverfront to allow for upgrading. The extended buffer is on the land between
East Jones Bridge and Farrell Creek. This parcel was the site of the proposed office park
(outside the buffer), which was never developed.
The owner wishes to combine the parcels, demo 2 out of the 4 existing buildings, and build a
new retirement home community using the proposed ARC clearing and impervious area
development restrictions AEC determined in their analysis of the property. The proposed
development would disturb 63.43 acres, requiring the EPD’s approval.
The MRPA Application and Construction documents for the proposed E. Jones Bridge Road
Development were submitted to the ARC to conduct an ARC Regional Review Finding on April
12, 2019 and then a revised package was re-submitted on June 24, 2019 following a meeting
with the City, ARC, and project developers on May 31, 2019. The ARC has not completed their
regional review and the plans are still pending their approval.

Parcel Pins: R6331 001, R6349 001, R348 093, R6331 006, R6349 003
The applicant is requesting formal City approval prior to obtaining ARC approval. If
approved by the Mayor & City Council, staff recommends that the Metropolitan River
Protection Act Certificate for the E. Jones Bridge Development stipulate the following
conditions:
1. Mayor & Council reserve the right to approve a site plan that is altered significantly
from the site plan which was approved as part of the City’s May 2018 Special Use
Permit for this property.
2. The final iteration of the MRPA site plans must be found in compliance by City
staff.
3. The ARC must find the plans in compliance with MRPA and issue them a MRPA
certificate.
4. The Applicant shall apply for a Land Disturbance Permit and any development
must meet all ordinance and engineering requirements determined by City Staff.
5. Applicant shall provide as-built surveys prior to issuance of certificate of
