The business will be an indoor storage facility with no outdoor storage. A small parking area is shown adjacent to the building. Although the site is addressed along Peachtree Industrial Boulevard, it actually fronts Amwiler Road just east of Winters Chapel Road. The site is predominately located within an industrial area along Amwiler Road south of Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. The adjacent properties in the flex office park are also zoned C-2 but other adjacent properties are zoned M-1 (Light Industry District). The applicant has provided a conceptual site plan and elevations showing a three-story building made of brick and stucco with glass storefront and windows. The access to the building is SUP2018-007 provided from the existing Amwiler Road driveway. The site is proposed to have 6 parking spaces immediately adjacent to the building. The Zoning Ordinance requires 2 parking spaces plus an additional 1 space per every 5000 square feet for a storage facility. With the applicant’s proposed building of just over 33,000 square feet per floor, this is a 100,000 square foot building, thus requiring at least 22 parking spaces. In addition to the conceptual site plan not showing the required parking, it also does not account for required landscape strips adjacent to property lines. As shown, the building appears to be too large for the site. The size of the building will, therefore, need to be reduced in order to comply with development regulations. The site is located within the Employment Corridor Character Area on the Future Development Map. The Employment Corridor is intended to “provide an ideal location for diverse employment- and revenue-generating businesses, both professional and industrial, along attractive gateway and thoroughfares.” Office, light industrial, and small-scale retail (where existing or at a major node) are considered appropriate uses. The City’s Zoning Resolution requires that a self-storage facility obtain a Special Use Permit to operate in the C-2 zoning district. The purpose of the Special Use Permit review is to ensure that any potentially detrimental aspects of the proposed land use are mitigated through site- specific conditions. ZONING HISTORY: The property is currently zoned C-2 (General Business District) and is an mostly-vacant lot with some unused parking spaces. In 1974, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners rezoned the property from C-1 to C-2 to permit the development that exists today. This rezoning was not subject to any special conditions. ZONING STANDARDS: Zoning Code Section 1702 identifies specific criteria that should be evaluated when considering a zoning decision. These criteria are enumerated as ‘A’ through ‘F’, below. Following each item is the applicant’s response followed by Staff’s comment. A. Will this proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby property? Applicant’s Response: The proposed warehouse is very much suitable and compatible with surrounding office and industrial uses. Staff’s Comment: The subject property is located within the Employment Corridor and is surrounded by similarly-zoned C-2 and M-1 properties. The use is suitable for the Amwiler Road area. 2 SUP2018-007 B. Will this proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property? Applicant’s Response: The proposed use will not have an adverse effect on surrounding properties. It is located on an approved lot in a commercial subdivision and the access patterns in the area were designed to accommodate development on the site. Staff’s Comment: The proposed use should not adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property as it will be located in an area with light industrial uses and the property will have sufficient parking. C. Does the property to be affected by a proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions have reasonable economic use as currently zoned? Applicant’s Response: The site has been vacant for 40 years under the present zoning, as no retail or office uses have ever been economically viable at this location. Staff’s Comment: The property has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned. D. Will the proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions result in a use which will or could cause an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities, or schools? Applicant’s Response: This use would not produce a significant increase in the use of existing road or utility infrastructure and, as a non-residential use, would have no impact on schools. Staff’s Comment: The impacts of the proposed use on streets, transportation facilities, or utilities are unlikely to be excessive or burdensome. Although the intersection of Amwiler Road and Winters Chapel Road is congested, this use will add a negligible amount of new traffic, likely during off-peak hours. There will be no impact on schools. E. Is the proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions in conformity with the policy and intent of the land use plan? Applicant’s Response: Yes, the use is in conformity with the future land use plan’s vision for the site as Preferred Office, as it is compatible with the office and professional uses desired for the area. Staff’s Comment: See Comprehensive Plan heading, next page. F. Are there are other existing or changing conditions affecting the use and development of the property which give supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval of the proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions? Applicant’s Response: The area surrounding the site is in need of investment and revitalization. This new use would represent a significant investment in the area and have a positive effect on property values. 3 SUP2018-007 Staff’s Comment: The Comprehensive Plan’s support for adaptive reuse of underutilized properties in the Employment Corridor combined with the fact that there are several vacancies in Amwiler area gives supporting grounds for approval of the Special Use Permit. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2040 City of Peachtree Corners Character Area Map indicates that the property is located within the Employment Corridor Character Area. Policies for this area encourage office, light industrial, and small-scale retail (where existing or at major nodes). While self-storage facilities are not specifically addressed in this character area, it fits with the broader industrial and small retail-type uses that are encouraged. A Special Use Permit for a self-storage facility in this location would meet the goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and would serve the surrounding community. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: The subject property is a 1.09-acre site located at 7112 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard. The property is surrounded by C-2 (General Business) and M-1 (Light Industry) zoning. The 2040 Comprehensive Plan indicates that the parcel lies within the Employment Corridor Character Area. This character area encourages the adaptive reuse of existing underutilized properties. The proposed use conforms to this development guideline. The request to permit this use would be consistent with the policies of the Character area and would put a vacant lot into productive use. However, the size of the building proposed appears to exceed the capacity of the site. Since no variance requests were included with the application, the building design will need to be modified in order to accommodate setbacks, landscaping, parking, and other development requirements. RECOMMENDATION: After review of the applicant’s proposal and other relevant information, it is recommended that SUP2018-007 be approved with the following conditions: 1. The special use permit for the self-storage facility shall be limited to the property at 7112 Peachtree Industrial Boulevard with amended boundaries as shown on the submitted survey; 2. The property shall be designed to accommodate the required parking as dictated by the formula in the Zoning Ordinance and the building developed on the site shall be designed in a manner to accommodate required development regulations without the need for variances. 3. Required inspections and interior finish permits shall be obtained before occupancy; 4. All storage shall occur within the building; no outdoor storage shall be permitted. 5. If building construction (as evidenced by the completion of the foundation) has not started by 12/31/21, the Special Use Permit shall become void. 4 11/6/2018 GwinnettTaxCommissioner > View/Pay Your Taxes > Account Detail > Bill Detail  BILL DETAIL View/Pay Your Taxes / Account Detail / Bill Detail Tax Account Mailing Address: SITUS: WEPARTNER 7094 PIB LLC 7112 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD 7094 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD STE 275 Tax District: PEACHTREE CORNERS , GA 30071-1008 PEACHTREE CORNERS Parcel ID Property Type Last Update R6277 135 Real Property 11/6/2018 11:04:19 AM Legal Description TRACT E PEACHTREE EXECUTIVE OFFICE PARK Tax Values Description Market Value Assessed Value Land $50,000.00 $20,000.00 Improvement $14,500.00 $5,800.00 Total $64,500.00 $25,800.00 Class Codes 320-Commercial Auxiliary Imp https://gwinnetttaxcommissioner.publicaccessnow.com/ViewPayYourTaxes/AccountDetail/BillDetail.aspx?p=R6277%20135&a=33308784&b=2368583… 1/3 11/6/2018 GwinnettTaxCommissioner > View/Pay Your Taxes > Account Detail > Bill Detail Assessments Operation Net Tax Savings School Taxes $510.84 $0.00 STATE OF GEORGIA TAXES $0.00 $0.00 City of Peachtree Corners $0.00 $0.00 County Incorporated with Police $334.34 $0.00 Sub Total $845.18 $0.00 Bond Net Tax Savings School Taxes $50.31 $0.00 County Incorporated with Police $0.00 $0.00 Sub Total $50.31 $0.00 Special Assessment Net Tax Savings PEACHTREE CORNERS STORMWATER FEES $688.80 $0.00 Sub Total $688.80 $0.00 Total Tax $1,584.29 $0.00 Tax Installment Information Period Bill Number Due Date Tax Year Tax Penalty/Fee Interest Total Due INST 1 23685838 10/15/2018 2018 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 Total Due: $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 Payment History Tax Year Bill Number Receipt Number Amount Paid Last Paid 2018 23685838 B18.76510 $1,584.29 10/9/2018 https://gwinnetttaxcommissioner.publicaccessnow.com/ViewPayYourTaxes/AccountDetail/BillDetail.aspx?p=R6277%20135&a=33308784&b=2368583… 2/3 11/6/2018 GwinnettTaxCommissioner > View/Pay Your Taxes > Account Detail > Bill Detail  BILL DETAIL View/Pay Your Taxes / Account Detail / Bill Detail Tax Account Mailing Address: SITUS: AMWILER PARTNERS LLC 3039 AMWILER RD 7094 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD STE 275 Tax District: PEACHTREE CORNERS , GA 30071-1008 PEACHTREE CORNERS Parcel ID Property Type Last Update R6277 029 Real Property 11/6/2018 11:07:26 AM Legal Description AMWILER RD Tax Values Description Market Value Assessed Value Land $740,500.00 $296,200.00 Improvement $959,500.00 $383,800.00 Total $1,700,000.00 $680,000.00 Class Codes 397-O ce Warehouse https://gwinnetttaxcommissioner.publicaccessnow.com/ViewPayYourTaxes/AccountDetail/BillDetail.aspx?p=R6277%20029&a=1119286&b=23496121… 1/3 11/6/2018 GwinnettTaxCommissioner > View/Pay Your Taxes > Account Detail > Bill Detail Assessments Operation Net Tax Savings School Taxes $13,464.00 $0.00 STATE OF GEORGIA TAXES $0.00 $0.00 City of Peachtree Corners $0.00 $0.00 County Incorporated with Police $8,812.12 $0.00 Sub Total $22,276.12 $0.00 Bond Net Tax Savings School Taxes $1,326.00 $0.00 County Incorporated with Police $0.00 $0.00 Sub Total $1,326.00 $0.00 Special Assessment Net Tax Savings PEACHTREE CORNERS STORMWATER FEES $4,270.56 $0.00 Sub Total $4,270.56 $0.00 Total Tax $27,872.68 $0.00 Tax Installment Information Period Bill Number Due Date Tax Year Tax Penalty/Fee Interest Total Due INST 1 23496121 10/15/2018 2018 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 Total Due: $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 Payment History Tax Year Bill Number Receipt Number Amount Paid Last Paid 2018 23496121 B18.55285 $27,872.68 9/27/2018 https://gwinnetttaxcommissioner.publicaccessnow.com/ViewPayYourTaxes/AccountDetail/BillDetail.aspx?p=R6277%20029&a=1119286&b=23496121… 2/3 View from Amwiler Road View internal to the site, facing proposed building location CITY OF PEACHTREE CORNERS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 147 Technology Parkway, Suite 200, Peachtree Corners, GA 30092 Tel: 678.691.1200 | www.cityofpeachtreecornersga.com PROPERTY LOCATION MAP WePartner Storage Facility CASE NUMBER: SUP2018-007 PLANNING CITY COUNCIL CITY COUNCIL COMMISSION 1ST READING 2ND READING HEARING DATES: NOV. 14, 2018 NOV. 27, 2018 DEC. 18, 2018 PROPERTY ADDRESS: 7112 Peachtree Industrial Blvd. CIC2018-001 Holcomb Bridge Townhomes CITY OF PEACHTREE CORNERS COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT CHANGE IN CONDITIONS ANALYSIS PLANNING COMMISSION DATE: NOVEMBER 14, 2018 CITY COUNCIL DATE: DECEMBER 18, 2018 CASE NAME: HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD TOWNHOMES CASE NUMBER: CIC2018-001 CURRENT ZONING: C-1 LOCATION: 3926 HOLCOMB BRIDGE ROAD MAP NUMBERS: 6th DISTRICT, LAND LOT 313 ACREAGE: 2.16 ACRES PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT: CHANGE IN CONDITIONS TO PREVIOUS REZONING TO ACCOMMODATE A TOWNHOUSE DEVELOPMENT FUTURE DEVELOPMENT MAP: CHATTAHOOCHEE RIVER AREA APPLICANT: R. W. LAMAR PROPERTIES, INC. 1101 SAINT CHARLES PL ATLANTA, GA 30306 CONTACT: WAYNE LAMAR 404-597-1761 OWNER: POWL INVESTMENTS, LLC 5339 GARNABY LN PEACHTREE CORNERS, GA 30092 RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE WITH CONDITIONS CIC2018-001 PROJECT DATA: The applicant is seeking to change the conditions of a past rezoning case (RZ2017-003) for property consisting of a 2.16-acre parcel located along the east side of Holcomb Bridge Road approximately 1500 feet south of Spalding Drive. The property adjoins single-family homes to the rear with commercial property to the sides and front, across Holcomb Bridge Road. The applicant requests to modify the previously approved zoning conditions in order to make three changes. The three requests are as follows: 1. to permit a surface retention pond (instead of underground retention required by the rezoning); 2. to change the front yard setback variance for one unit at the front right corner of the property (as viewed from Holcomb Bridge Road); and 3. to permit a full access driveway from Holcomb Bridge Road into the site. The concept plan previously approved for the property includes 17 townhomes in a gated community with a small resident amenity area along the front of the site. Each proposed home contains a two-car garage and is three stories tall. Additional guest parking is also provided. An existing wooded buffer at the rear will be preserved; additional landscaping will be provided around the perimeter of the site. PARCEL DESCRIPTION The property is a 2.16-acre C-1 zoned parcel located on the east side of Holcomb Bridge Road approximately 1500 feet south of Spalding Drive. The parcel is between an office development to the south and a former single-family home that was converted to commercial use to the north. The proposal includes one entrance to the townhouse development from Holcomb Bridge Road which aligns with Primrose Hill Court directly across Holcomb Bridge Road. The R-TH zoning classification permits a development density of up to 8 units per acre. The proposed project is designed at a density of 7.8 units per acre. ZONING HISTORY: The subject property was rezoned from O-I to C-1 by Gwinnett County Case REZ1990-125 in December 1990. At the same time, a special use permit for a restaurant was denied. In 2004, a rezoning request and special use permit were denied by Gwinnett County. That request, RZC2004-017, was to rezone from C-1 to C-2; the special use permit was for an automobile service facility. The applicant was granted a rezoning (RZ2017-003) to R-TH to allow for the townhome development in late 2017. ZONING STANDARDS: Zoning Code Section 1702 identifies specific criteria that should be evaluated when considering a zoning decision. These criteria are enumerated as ‘A’ through ‘F’ below. The applicant’s responses and staff’s comments are below: A. Will this proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions permit a use that is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby property? 2 CIC2018-001 Applicant’s Response: Yes. Staff’s Comment: The surface-level retention pond is suitable for this site if it is designed in a way that creates an amenity or focal point for the community. B. Will this proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions adversely affect the existing use or usability of adjacent or nearby property? Applicant’s Response: No. Staff’s Comment: The proposal will have minimal impact on adjacent O-I zoned properties. Additionally, the single-family properties to the rear will still be buffered by existing wooded areas. The request for a full access driveway to Holcomb Bridge Road may cause changes in the traffic movements in this particular area. C. Does the property to be affected by a proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions have reasonable economic use as currently zoned? Applicant’s Response: Yes Staff’s Comment: The property has a reasonable economic use as currently zoned but the inability of the site to handle underground retention causes this particular project to be difficult to build. D. Will the proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions result in a use which will or could cause an excessive or burdensome use of existing streets, transportation facilities, utilities, or schools? Applicant’s Response: No. Staff’s Comment: Holcomb Bridge Road at rush hour peaks is difficult to navigate. As stated in the previous rezoning staff report, although this project will not add significant traffic to the road, there will likely need to be turn restrictions put in place at the project’s entrance. Left turns out of the development will be difficult to make during peak traffic periods. City staff still maintains that turn restrictions are appropriate given the surrounding conditions. E. Is the proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions in conformity with the policy and intent of the land use plan? Applicant’s Response: Yes. Staff’s Comment: (see Comprehensive Plan heading, below.) 3 CIC2018-001 F. Are there other existing or changing conditions affecting the use and development of the property which give supporting grounds for either approval or disapproval of the proposed rezoning, special use permit, or change in conditions? Applicant’s Response: The current ground water levels in combination with a very shallow site create a financial burden to the project to maintain the underground detention. Staff’s Comment: The long-term vision for this area is for it to be an integral part of the redevelopment of the Holcomb Bridge Corridor and that is still achievable with the surface- level retention pond. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: The 2040 City of Peachtree Corners Character Area Map indicates that the property is located within the Holcomb Bridge Corridor Character Area. Policies for this area encourage evolution into “a mixed-use corridor” with single-uses, including townhouses, located along the corridor between higher-intensity nodes. DEPARTMENT ANALYSIS: The proposed 2.16-acre development is located on the east side of Holcomb Bridge Road and is currently vacant. The project adds a residential component to an area that already has a mix of uses. The proposal to have surface-level retention would not adversely affect surrounding residential properties as a 35-foot buffer with mature trees is provided along the rear property line. This buffer complies with the requirement in Zoning Ordinance Section 606. While the development is also unlikely to have a negative impact on existing streets, the City’s traffic engineering staff believes that left turns out of the site allow too many opportunities for vehicular conflict and would create a dangerous condition. As a result, the engineering staff does not support this vehicular movement at the property and recommends that access be limited to right-in, right-out, and left-in movements only. Staff recommends approval with conditions of the proposed project as it still meets the intent of the Comprehensive Plan, is suitable in view of the use and development of adjacent and nearby property, and if approved, would not adversely affect the existing use of said properties. RECOMMENDATION: After review of the applicant’s proposal and other relevant information, it is recommended that CIC2018-001 be approved with the following conditions: 1. The site development shall not exceed 17 single-family townhomes with a minimum 2- car attached garage and a minimum unit width of 24-feet. 2. The property shall be developed in general conformance with the site plan prepared by O’Leary Design Group dated October 24, 2018 and submitted with this application with 4 CIC2018-001 revisions to meet these conditions and the requirements of all city codes and ordinances. 3. That the side yard setback is reduced to 25-feet on the north (side) property line, 20- feet on the south (side) property line, and that encroachment is permitted into the 50- foot front setback to accommodate a portion of one townhouse at the front of the property. 4. Building elevations shall be in general conformance with the renderings prepared by O’Leary Design Group dated October 2, 2017, and submitted with this application with revisions, as needed, to be submitted to the Community Development Director for review and approval. 5. The green space at the front center of the development shall be used and maintained as landscaped, common, open space with at least one amenity feature provided. An amenity area plan, that includes a landscape plan, is required to be submitted and shall be subject to the review and approval of the Community Development Director. 6. Development shall include no more than one driveway on Holcomb Bridge Road, aligned with Primrose Hill Court directly across Holcomb Bridge Road. This access shall allow a left turn-in, right turn-in, and right turn-out movements. Left-out turn movements shall be prohibited. 7. Sidewalks shall be provided as shown on the conceptual site plan. 8. A 50-foot wide landscaped strip shall be provided along the Holcomb Bridge Road frontage, allowing for the one townhouse encroachment and shall include a decorative fence/wall and entrance monument to be approved by Staff. 9. Interior streets shall be private and maintained by the Homeowners Association. 10. Existing trees in buffers shall be preserved and buffers shall be enhanced with additional trees where sparse. 11. Storm water retention facilities may be open-air at surface-level. The retention facility shall be screened with decorative fencing, evergreen plantings, and landscaping as show on the plans dated October 24, 2018 and submitted with this application. 5 DIAGRAM OF APPLICANT’S REQUESTED CHANGES 3.
