OWNER: CITY OF PEACHTREE CORNERS DOWNTOWN
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS
BACKGROUND:
The subject property, located across Peachtree Parkway from the Forum Shopping Center, was
rezoned to Mixed Use Development in July 2, 2013. A master plan with development
regulations were adopted for the site on December 16, 2014. The master plan calls for a
mixed use project with retail, restaurants, theater, townhomes, deck parking and a town green.
In addition, the development standards identify specific uses that would be allowed and the
architectural treatment of the buildings to be developed. There is also a requirement that
building aesthetics, signage, lighting, and street furniture be approved by the Planning
Commission.
REQUEST:
The applicant would like approval of the submitted architectural renderings that show the
development intent for the proposed commercial and residential buildings. The approval
requested would be for the building style, features, materials, and colors. The renderings also
suggest what landscaping, lighting, signage, and street furnishings might look like within the
project; however, it is early in the design development and exact items to be used have not yet
been specified. In addition to aesthetic approval for the buildings, the applicant would like to
modify some of the development regulations to better suit the proposed project. These
modifications include an increased height for townhomes and a decrease to the number of
stories for the retail / office buildings. In addition, the development standards also stipulate that
SUP2015-003
chef-driven restaurants are permitted by right, but chain restaurants must receive special
approval. In order to avoid multiple public hearings, the applicant has submitted a list of
potential restaurants that, if approved, will be used to solicit prospective tenants to the project.
In summary, the applicant’s request is as follows:
1. Approve the architecture (including the materials and colors) of the commercial and
residential buildings.
2. Approve the submitted restaurant list
3. Amend the Town Center Standards, Table ‘B’, to allow Townhouses to be 4 stories
with a maximum height of 50 ft. (instead of 3 stories and 40 ft.)
4. Amend the height standards for retail / office buildings to allow a minimum of 2 stories
or 2 stories in appearance.
DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS:
The regulations for the Town Center property require the architecture of the commercial
buildings to be similar in appearance to the Forum. The purpose of matching this aesthetic is to
promote a common visual identity and capitalize on an existing, successful brand. As the Town
Center LCI documented, many people already identify the Forum as the commercial focal point
of the City. Visually matching the two properties on either side of Peachtree Parkway and then
joining them with a bridge will undoubtedly strengthen both projects. The Forum will then
provide most of the retail offerings while the Town Center contributes most of the
entertainment. One side will enhance the other and, together, they will create an unparalleled
destination that will serve both the community and the region.
As mandated, the applicant’s drawings reflect the aesthetics of the Forum. Buildings shown are
primarily earth-tone stone and brick with stucco bands, delineated water tables, awnings, and
decorative lighting. Both pitched roofs with dormers and flat roofs with parapets are shown.
The commercial building in front of the parking deck is designed to look like a two-story
building in order to screen the deck; however, the applicant intends to build it as a one-story
structure. The applicant believes that there is limited demand for second story office space and
is concerned that on-going vacancy on the second floor would be detrimental to the project.
The applicant intends to assign the development of the residential portion of the project to
John Wieland Homes, a highly-regarded regional homebuilder. The elevations submitted by
John Wieland Homes appear compatible with the architecture of the commercial buildings.
They include similar materials, roof lines, and design details. Although all the design details have
not yet been submitted, the quality of the builder’s previous projects ensures that a level of
detail comparable to the Forum will be met on the townhome buildings.
The Town Center project will likely include eight or nine restaurants. Ideally, all would be chef-
driven, innovative dining concepts. However, in order for multiple restaurants to succeed
within a shared venue, there needs to be a wide variety of culinary options. Additionally, there
also needs to be a constancy of tenants within that venue. Chain restaurants can bring both
variety and stability to the Town Center. While many chain restaurants do not fit the
character of the Town Center and are not desirable, having some within the project may be
2
SUP2015-003
advantageous. They will bring concept recognition, loyal customers, and a history of financial
viability to the Town Center project. This will reduce tenant turnover which is high in the
untested restaurant business and which would be very disruptive to the Town Center. Limiting
chain restaurants to those that are local and regional will ensure variety. Adding a few, quality,
high-end, national chain restaurants will provide the stability of well-known, tested brands that
have the financial resources to ensure longevity. These restaurants will help draw visitors to a
new venue and will, in a sense, serve as the anchor tenants for the Town Center.
Therefore, after review of the applicant’s proposal and other relevant information,
it is recommended that SUP2015-003be approved with the following conditions:
1. With regard to Building Elevations:
A. Project shall be developed in general conformity with the renderings submitted with
the application package for SUP2015-003, and commercial property shall be
developed with a similar level of detail as the Forum Shopping Center including the
following:
1. Walls visible from streets or walkways shall be at least 2/3 brick or stone
(excluding window area).
2. Pitched roofs shall be slate, tile, or dimensional architectural shingle in
brown, beige, taupe, or light gray color. (Dark gray, charcoal, and black roof
colors are prohibited.)
3. Parapets on free standing buildings shall be placed around the entire
perimeter of the roof and shall screen rooftop mechanical equipment.
4. Parapets on end units of multi-tenant buildings shall be placed around the
entire perimeter of the end unit roof that is visible to pedestrians.
5. Corners of the retail / office buildings shall incorporate taller elements with
pyramidal or conical roofs similar to Barnes and Noble at the Forum.
6. A change in roof style, material, color or roof plane shall occur at least every
40 ft. (for changes in roof plane, a minimum 18” offset shall be provided)
7. Each commercial building shall incorporate at least one room (accessible
from the rear) for the collection of trash and storage of dumpsters,
compactors, and recycling bins.
8. Commercial buildings surrounding the parking deck shall be designed to
screen the parking deck, cars, and people on the highest level of the deck
from ground views.
9. Plant material shall be incorporated along front and side elevation of
buildings, as approved by Staff.
10. Heavy landscaping shall be placed between commercial buildings and the
stream buffer.
11. Contrasting accent bands on walls, water tables at base of buildings, roof top
finials, window box planters, and other decorative elements shall be utilized
to enhance the building aesthetic.
12. Awnings shall be provided throughout the commercial areas to protect
pedestrians from inclement weather.
B. Residential buildings shall be at least 2/3 brick or stone on all sides.

Del Frisco Flip Burger
Figo Pasta Brio
Mirko Pasta Dancing Goat

A. Regulations shall be amended to allow townhomes up to 4 stories with a maximum
height of 50 ft.
B. Regulations shall be amended to allow retail / office buildings to be a minimum of 2
stories or have a 2 story appearance.

LETTER OF INTENT
Application for Special Use Permit and Changes to Conditions
Peachtree Corners Mixed Use Project
Fuqua Development
The purpose of this Letter of Intent is to:
1. Request a Special Use Permit for the inclusion of the restaurants on the attached list to be
allowed as tenants in the Project.
2. To request the following modifications to Table “B” of the Town Center Standards:
a. Reduce the required number of stories under the Commercial category to one (1)
with the requirement that the buildings must appear to have a 2nd story.
b. Increase the height in the Townhouse category to 50’
c. Increase the number of stories in the Townhouse category to 4.
d. Decrease the minimum lot width in the Townhouse category to 22’
EXPLANATION FOR REQUESTS
SPECIAL USE PERMIT
1. Allow restaurants listed on the attached Exhibit to be tenants in the Project.
a. We understand the intent of the “chef driven” language in Table “A” of the Town
Center Standards is to provide a level of quality in the restaurants operating in the
Town Center but also add a variety of concepts not readily available in the Peachtree
Corners area. There are many exceptional restaurant concepts that are not necessarily
“chef driven” that provide a high end quality product in their particular food category
and are not represented in the immediate area. These are listed on the attached
Exhibit.
CHANGE IN CONDITIONS - TABLE “B” OF THE TOWN CENTER STANDARDS
1. Reduce the number of stories under the Commercial category to one (1).
a. Requiring all retail buildings to include a 2nd story office is a hardship due to the
following reasons:
i. The total amount of office square footage required under the current Town
Centers standard is 35,800 SF. Leasing this amount of square footage is
not marketable.
ii. The lending institutions require a minimum amount of pre-leased space
before committing to a construction loan. Since the minimum pre-leasing
requirement of the lender cannot be met in this market, it will either delay
the start of the project until the pre-leasing threshold is met or require an
undue burden on the financial balance of the project due to the increased
amount of equity required.
iii. There is not enough parking in the surface parking lot immediately behind
the 17,400 SF retail building for both retail and office users. Office users
will be the first to arrive and will occupy the majority of the parking
spaces leaving inadequate parking for the retail and restaurant tenants.
Therefore, retail and restaurant tenants will be reluctant to lease space. A
requirement in the office leases requiring the office tenants to park in the
parking structure will only make it more difficult to lease the office space.
If such language were in the office leases, very little could be done in the
way of enforcement and the retail and restaurant users know this from
previous experiences in situations like this. The result is making the
development less attractive to lease space in.
b. However, we are proposing to provide 10,800 SF of 2nd floor office space in the
10,800 SF retail building adjacent to the parking structure.
2. Increase the number of floors of the Townhomes to four (4).
a. The Town Home product will have roof top terraces with an in-law suite. This
requires a fourth floor.
3. Increase the height of the Townhomes to 50’.
a. Being a 4 floor product, the ceiling heights of the town homes will be 10’, not
including the structure between ceiling and floor. Therefore, the additional height
is required.
4. Decrease the minimum lot width of the Townhomes to 22’.
a. The 4 story, Town Home product with roof top terraces will have a minimum of
3,200 SF, therefore a minimum width of 24’ is not required to produce the quality
and price point desired for the Town Center.
