NEW BUSINESS:
SUP2018-004 Associated Credit Union. Request to approve a special use permit to
accommodate a new detached drive-through banking facility adjacent to an existing
credit union office building at 6251 Crooked Creek Road, Dist. 6, Land Lot 283,
Peachtree Corners, GA.
Jeff Conkle, Planning and Zoning Administrator, presented this case to the Planning
Commission and noted that the applicant is seeking approval of a special use permit to
allow a detached drive-through banking facility to the south side of the existing

2018-07-17 PC Minutes
banking facility. The subject property is a 5.216-acre parcel with an existing office
building. The site is currently zoned O-I (Office-Institutional District), which requires a
Special Use Permit for a drive-through banking facility. The drive-through will be
placed far enough within the site to ensure that stacking of vehicles beyond the private
property does not occur. Additionally, the loss of the 20 parking spaces will not result
in any nonconformity as the site currently has much more parking than is required.
The proposed Special Use Permit would not change the existing structure on the
property, would be compatible in use with these surrounding and nearby areas, and
would be unlikely to place an excessive burden on existing streets.
Mr. Conkle stated that after review of the applicant’s proposal and other relevant
information, it is recommended that SUP2018-004 be approved subject to the following
conditions:
1. The drive-through facility shall be developed in substantial conformance with
the site plan drawn by Appleby + Laccetti Architects, Inc. dated April 20, 2018.
2. The existing landscape island which will remain to the north of the proposed
drive-through shall have new landscaping installed, as approved by Staff.
The applicant, Scott Foerst, stated that he was representing the contractor for this
project and was available to answer any questions.
Chairman Houser opened the floor for public comments. Chairman Houser closed the
floor for public comments, no one spoke in favor nor opposition.
The Commissioners moved forward with a recommendation of support for SUP2018-
004 with conditions, as follows:
MOTION TO APPROVE SUP2018-004 ASSOCIATED CREDIT UNION,
REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO ACCOMMODATE A NEW
DETACHED DRIVE-THROUGH BANKING FACILITY ADJACENT TO AN
EXISTING CREDIT UNION OFFICE BUILDING AT 6251 CROOKED
CREEK ROAD, DIST. 6, LAND LOT 283, PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA
WITH STAFF CONDITIONS.

Action: Approved with staff conditions
SUP2018-005 Bread of Life Christian Church. Request to approve a special use
permit to accommodate a religious facility in an existing building at 4995 Avalon Ridge
Parkway, Dist. 6, Land Lot 270, Peachtree Corners, GA.
Diana Wheeler, Community Development Director, presented this case to the Planning
Commission and noted that the applicant requests a Special Use Permit on a 3.58-acre
parcel zoned M-1 (Light Industry District) to permit a facility for the conduct of
religious services and ceremonies in an existing building. The office building is part of
the Avalon Ridge Business Park, which includes a dozen or so buildings on multiple
parcels. The applicant’s letter of intent states that Bread of Life Church intends to
occupy 30,000 square feet to serve approximately 150 congregants. No additions or
alterations to the exterior of the buildings or site are being requested.

2018-07-17 PC Minutes
Ms. Wheeler stated that after review of the applicant’s proposal and other relevant
information, it is recommended that SUP2018-005 be approved subject to the following
conditions:
1. The special use permit for Bread of Life Church shall be limited to the property
at 4995 Avalon Ridge Parkway as shown on the submitted survey;
2. Required inspections and interior finish permits shall be obtained before
occupancy;
3. If the City determines that church activities sufficiently impact existing traffic,
the City shall notify the church and the church shall provide an off-duty police
officer during those times when church related traffic needs to be managed.
4. Any future expansion of the scope of the facility beyond the worship and similar
services noted in the application shall require an amendment to the Special Use
Permit.
Weyl Wang, representing the applicant, was present and available to answer any
questions. Mr. Wang stated that the church is excited to move into Peachtree Corners
and service the community.
Chairman Houser opened the floor for public comments. Chairman Houser closed the
floor for public comments, no one spoke in favor nor opposition.

CHURCH REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO
ACCOMMODATE A RELIGIOUS FACILITY IN AN EXISTING BUILDING
AT 4995 AVALON RIDGE PARKWAY, DIST. 6, LAND LOT 270,
PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA WITH STAFF CONDITIONS.

Seconded: Alan Kaplan
Vote: (4-0) (Middleton, Kaplan, Houser, Willis)
Action: Approved with staff conditions
RZ2018-002 Atlanta Best Used Cars. Request to approve a rezoning from M-1 to C-3
to accommodate used car sales at an existing building at 4765 Buford Highway, Dist. 6,
Land Lot 258, Peachtree Corners, GA.
Diana Wheeler, Community Development Director, presented this case to the Planning
Commission and noted that the applicant is seeking approval of a rezoning to allow for
used auto sales at an existing building and property along the west side of Buford
Highway approximately one-half mile south of South Berkeley Lake Road. The property
adjoins C-2, C-3, and M-1 zoning to the north, south, and west. East across Buford
Highway is a C-2 zone in unincorporated Gwinnett County. The existing M-1 zoning
does not permit used vehicle sales; the proposed C-3 zoning does if the site is at least
1.5 acres in size. The applicant’s property exceeds 4 acres. The proposal for used auto
sales is consistent with the adjacent zoning and this area along Buford Highway. Given
the existence of similar uses, the applicant’s proposal is unlikely to be a detriment to
surrounding properties. However, the nature of the automotive use can create
maintenance and aesthetic issues for the property. In its current condition, the site
consists of a large metal warehouse building, significant expanses of asphalt paving,
some grassed areas along the front, and tree stands along the rear of the property
surrounding the detention pond.

2018-07-17 PC Minutes
There are several opportunities to improve the condition of the property in conjunction
with the proposed new use. Landscaping, for example, could be added to the southern
part of the site along the driveway where there is currently bare dirt. In addition,
landscaping needs to be added along the front of the property. A decorative brick wall
along the frontage would help screen the extensive view of vehicles on the site. The
property would also benefit from a new monument sign.
Ms. Wheeler stated that after review of the applicant’s proposal and other relevant
information, it is recommended that RZ2018-002 be approved subject to the following
conditions:
1. The rezoning from M-1 to C-3 shall be approved and limited to the 4.396
acres located at 4765 Buford Highway.
2. All vehicle maintenance and repair work shall be conducted indoors.
3. An acceptable method of vehicle washing waste water disposal shall be
provided.
4. All vehicle parking areas shall be paved, and vehicles shall be parked in
designated paved parking spaces with adjacent drive aisles which meet the
requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
5. Vehicles shall not be parked in landscape areas and shall not be stacked or
stored in such a way that vehicles are not readily moveable or accessible.
6. Existing trees on the property shall not be removed unless they are
diseased or dangerous, as determined by Staff.
7. A decorative, 4-foot high brick or brick and wrought iron or aluminum
picket fence shall be installed along the front of the property, as approved
by Staff.
8. Decorative landscaping shall be installed in front of the brick wall along
Buford Hwy., as approved by Staff.
9. The chain link fencing visible from the street shall be replaced with metal
picket fencing.
10. A new monument sign shall be installed on a brick base to match the
decorative wall. The sign shall not exceed 6 ft. in height.
11. The dumpster shall be placed in an enclosure made primarily of brick and
approved by Staff.
12. Conditions #7 - #11 shall be met prior to the issuance or transference of a
business license to the subject property.
13. No more than 300 vehicles shall be parked on site.
14. No inoperable vehicles shall be stored on the property.
15. No billboards shall be permitted on the property.

2018-07-17 PC Minutes
The applicant representative, Eric Johansen, gave a brief description of the business
and stated that the business owner is requesting a rezoning because he wants to
consolidate operations into a larger location. The applicant requested that the Planning
Commission approve the rezoning with a couple of changes to the staff conditions
[applicant’s proposal underlined or struck through]:
• On condition #3 – add “as approved by staff”
• On condition #7 - A decorative, 4-foot high brick wall, or a combination of
brick and wrought iron or aluminum picket fence, or metal bollards filled
with concrete and painted shall be installed along the front of the property,
as approved by staff.

Chairman Houser opened the floor for public comments. Chairman Houser closed the

OWNER: FUQUA BCDC PEACHTREE CORNERS
3575 PIEDMONT RD. #800
ATLANTA, GA 30305
RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE
PROJECT BACKGROUND:
The elevations for the Town Center retail and restaurant buildings were approved in 2017
because they were in compliance with Ordinance 2015-06-49 that identifies specific appearance
standards for all the buildings in the Town Center. Criteria for building elevations listed in the
ordinance address items such as building walls, roof lines, parapets, building materials, and
landscaping. In addition to this ordinance, Table ‘B’, the development regulations for the Town
Center, (attached) also includes building requirements.
PH2017-003
Two sites along Peachtree Parkway, which includes the site where Lazy Dog will be located,
were not part of that approval. This application requires design approval through a new public
hearing process.
These two sites were previously out-parcels but have now become leased space on a larger
parcel to be owned by the developer. Adjacent areas not part of the Lazy Dog lease area but
part of the larger parcel should be addressed in the application.
ELEVATION REVIEW:
The Lazy Dog restaurant has a rustic American Mountain West architectural theme. The
exterior includes earth-tone colors, prominent use of stone materials, timber accents, and a
tower element to give prominence to the entrance. The earth tones and stone blend well with
the European-inspired architecture of both The Forum and the surrounding Town Center. The
elevation labeled “north” is that which is along Peachtree Parkway, while the “south” faces the
parking deck. “West” is the corner entrance and patio area which faces the creek.
Elevation approval does not constitute site plan approval. Site plan has several issues that need
to be addressed including: landscaping plan (including along Peachtree Parkway R-O-W); too
many to-go parking spaces; final design of trash compactor area adjacent to site; and the site
plan shows an adjacent building with a configuration which has not been approved and should,
therefore, not be represented on the plan.
RECOMMENDATION:
After review of the applicant’s proposal and other relevant information, it is
recommended that PH2018-008 be approved subject to the following conditions:
1. Approval is for building elevations only. Site plan issues must still be
addressed.
2. All CMU shall be covered with painted stucco as a finish material, not just
paint.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the LDP for this parcel shall be
modified to include the landscape of the common area, including the
adjacent right-of-way along Peachtree Parkway. The right-of-way
improvements and landscaping shall be consistent with that of the properties
to the north, including Piedmont Bank and Sprouts.
4. Applicant shall be responsible for the maintenance of the landscaping in the
right-of-way along Peachtree Parkway.
5. The number of take-out parking spaces shall be limited to no more than
three.
