Henry Stockbridge, GA 30281 Phone: (770) 389-7900 OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE Community Development Department OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS—SLIDE #1 I. INITIAL ACTIONS BY THE PROPERTY OWNER OR DEVELOPER: A. Purchases a property or enters into a contract with the owner to purchase the property, pending zoning approval by the City of Stockbridge. B. Prepares a site plan for the proposed development project. C. Contacts the Planning & Zoning Staff to request a pre-application meeting, which is required before submitting zoning applications. The developer’s proposal is discussed. D. Submits zoning applications to the City (after a pre-application meeting is held) to request various zoning actions to allow the proposed development. ~ Applications include the application request, the survey of the property, the proposed site plan, various legal documents, a letter of intent, and a water/sewer availability letter. ~ The applicant is usually the property owner or the developer. ~ The applicant often hires an agent to handle the application process. ~ An attorney often acts as the applicant or agent to represent the owner or developer. OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS—SLIDE #2 TYPES OF ZONING APPLICATIONS / CASES: ANNEXATION – Allows a property in unincorporated Henry County to be brought into the Stockbridge City Limits. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT – Changes the “future land use designation” of the property from what the Future Land Use Map shows within the City’s Comprehensive Plan, to another future land use designation which 1) allows for the proposed types of use; 2) allows the requested zoning; and 3) allows the proposed residential density. REZONING – Changes the base zoning of the property to allow for the proposed types of uses, and to disallow the uses under the existing zoning. Any overlay zoning district would not change. VARIANCE – Allows the applicant to deviate from a required site design standard, such as a building setback requirement, or to be exempt from meeting a certain requirement. SPECIAL USE PERMIT – Is required for special types of uses that are identified as being possibly allowed in a zoning district. Examples: churches, liquor stores, personal care homes, and gas stations. ZONING MODIFICATION – Is required when a developer wants to deviate from what City Council approved for a rezoning case. Examples: building according to a completely different site plan (major modification) or seeking relief from a required zoning condition (minor zoning modification). OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS—SLIDE #3 II. ACTIONS BY THE CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE’S COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT: A. Conducts a pre-application meeting with the owner/applicant. ~ Includes the Planning & Zoning Staff, City Engineer, City Fire Marshall, and the City Building Official. ~ Purpose of meeting is to assess the merits of the proposed development and its compliance with applicable zoning and other regulations. B. Processes incoming zoning applications by assessing their completeness and assigning case numbers. C. Takes various actions to meet the legal advertising requirements. ~ Sends legal ads to the newspaper. ~ Lists zoning cases on agendas for upcoming public meetings. ~ Prepares a draft letter for applicants to mail to owners of neighboring properties within 500 feet. ~ For annexation cases, sends copies of all of the applications to Henry County officials for review. ~ Posts zoning signs on the property. OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS—SLIDE #4 D. Prepares a Staff Report: ~ Assesses the merits of each zoning case. ~ Assesses the compliance with the Comprehensive Development Plan and Unified Development Code (UDC). ~ Makes recommendations, including zoning conditions of approval. E. Prepares a PowerPoint presentation for use in presenting each zoning case at public meetings. F. Prepares a Decision Letter to document the City Council’s action, and sends it to the applicant. G. Sends the Final Ordinances, which have been prepared by the City Clerk, to the applicant. OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS—SLIDE #5 III. PUBLIC MEETINGS (All held in the Council Chamber at City Hall): A. C.Z.I.M. Meeting (Community Zoning and Information Meeting)—This is an informal meeting to allow the public a chance to hear an overview of proposed zoning cases and to ask questions of the applicant/developer. No actions are taken at this meeting. B. Planning Commission Meeting: ~ This is a public hearing that is conducted by the Stockbridge Planning Commission Board members. ~ Board members hear the staff’s presentation of cases, allow the applicant to speak, hold a public hearing for citizens to speak, ask questions of the staff and developer, have a discussion, and vote to approve, approve with conditions, deny, or defer each case to another meeting. ~ Board members’ votes become recommendations to City Council. C. City Council Meeting: ~ Follows a similar format as Planning Commission meetings. ~ Council members’ votes become final, and they become law. OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS—SLIDE #6 IV. PERMITTING REVIEWS: A. Developer submits land disturbance and building permit applications to the Permitting Staff. B. Permit applications are reviewed by the Planning & Zoning Staff (and others) to ensure that all zoning requirements and all zoning conditions (if any) from approved zoning cases are met. C. When all requirements are met, permits are issued: ~ Land Disturbance Permit—Allows the developer to clear the land, install streets and sidewalks, install utilities, and build amenities. ~ Building Permit—Allows the developer to build each residential unit and each other type of building on the property.

The three requests are for: 1. Rezoning of the Subject Parcel from C2 (general commercial district) to HI (heavy industrial district); 2. Special Use Permit for the Subject Parcel to allow the development of natural resources including the removal of minerals (such as rock quarries) and natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery; and 3. Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Subject Parcel’s designation on the City’s Future Land Use Map from Low Density Mixed-Use to Heavy Industrial. The Subject Parcel is 1.4 acres currently zoned C2 that is owned by Ekstedt Properties, LLC (“Ekstedt”). There is one building on the property that is used in Ekstedt’s business. Ekstedt is fully aware of the Applicant’s requests to the City and supports the Applicant’s requests for the Subject Parcel. The Subject Parcel has approximately 140 feet of frontage along North Henry Boulevard. All remaining sides of the Subject Parcel are surrounded by property owned by the Applicant and currently used in the Applicant’s Stockbridge Quarry. The Subject Parcel juts into the Applicant’s property (parcel no. S33-01053000), creating a rectangular incision into the 30+ ATLANTA ATHENS MACON jamesbatesllp.com Ryan Anderson, Community Development Director Veronica Green, Chief Planner June 1,2026 acres of property owned by the Applicant that surrounds the Subject Parcel. All the Applicant’s property surrounding the Subject Parcel is already zoned HI and used as part of Applicant’s quarry. In total the Applicant owns over 787 acres of property associated with the Stockbridge Quarry. The Applicant requests that the Subject Parcel be rezoned to HI in order to allow the Applicant to utilize the 1.4 acres as part of its quarry operations. If rezoning is approved, the large majority of the Subject Parcel would be utilized as a berm with a small portion of the 1.4 acres being used as an edge of the Applicant’s mining pit as shown on the Site Plan submitted with this Application. Pursuant to the City’s Unified Development Code (“UDC”) at § 3.2.25, mines and quarries are allowed in the HI zoning district. That section states, “The development of natural resources, including removal of minerals and other natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery, is allowed in the HI zoning district. . . .” Section 3.1 of the UDC states that mines and quarries are Permitted Uses in the HI district, but it also says that the “[d]evelopment of natural resources, including the removal of minerals (such as rock quarries) and natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery” requires a Special Use in the HI district. Thus, to try and fully satisfy any discrepancies in the UDC, the Applicant is also requesting that it be granted a Special Use Permit pursuant to § 3.1 of the UDC to allow the Applicant to build a berm and conduct mining operations on the Subject Parcel. Finally, the Applicant is also asking that the City’s Comprehensive Plan be amended to the extent that the Subject Parcel is currently designated as Low Density Mixed-Use on the Future Land Use Map. The Applicant asks that the Subject Parcel’s designation on the Future Land Use Map be changed to Heavy Industrial to conform to what the Subject Parcel would actually be used for if rezoning is approved. This change would also make sense so as to correspond to what all the property surrounding the Subject Parcel is currently used as, which is the Applicant’s Stockbridge Quarry. If you have any questions about the above requests, or if any other information is needed in support of the requests, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The three requests are for: 1. Rezoning of the Subject Parcel from C2 (general commercial district) to HI (heavy industrial district); 2. Special Use Permit for the Subject Parcel to allow the development of natural resources including the removal of minerals (such as rock quarries) and natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery; and 3. Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Subject Parcel’s designation on the City’s Future Land Use Map from Low Density Mixed-Use to Heavy Industrial. The Subject Parcel is 1.4 acres currently zoned C2 that is owned by Ekstedt Properties, LLC (“Ekstedt”). There is one building on the property that is used in Ekstedt’s business. Ekstedt is fully aware of the Applicant’s requests to the City and supports the Applicant’s requests for the Subject Parcel. The Subject Parcel has approximately 140 feet of frontage along North Henry Boulevard. All remaining sides of the Subject Parcel are surrounded by property owned by the Applicant and currently used in the Applicant’s Stockbridge Quarry. The Subject Parcel juts into the Applicant’s property (parcel no. S33-01053000), creating a rectangular incision into the 30+ ATLANTA ATHENS MACON jamesbatesllp.com Ryan Anderson, Community Development Director Veronica Green, Chief Planner June 1,2026 acres of property owned by the Applicant that surrounds the Subject Parcel. All the Applicant’s property surrounding the Subject Parcel is already zoned HI and used as part of Applicant’s quarry. In total the Applicant owns over 787 acres of property associated with the Stockbridge Quarry. The Applicant requests that the Subject Parcel be rezoned to HI in order to allow the Applicant to utilize the 1.4 acres as part of its quarry operations. If rezoning is approved, the large majority of the Subject Parcel would be utilized as a berm with a small portion of the 1.4 acres being used as an edge of the Applicant’s mining pit as shown on the Site Plan submitted with this Application. Pursuant to the City’s Unified Development Code (“UDC”) at § 3.2.25, mines and quarries are allowed in the HI zoning district. That section states, “The development of natural resources, including removal of minerals and other natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery, is allowed in the HI zoning district. . . .” Section 3.1 of the UDC states that mines and quarries are Permitted Uses in the HI district, but it also says that the “[d]evelopment of natural resources, including the removal of minerals (such as rock quarries) and natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery” requires a Special Use in the HI district. Thus, to try and fully satisfy any discrepancies in the UDC, the Applicant is also requesting that it be granted a Special Use Permit pursuant to § 3.1 of the UDC to allow the Applicant to build a berm and conduct mining operations on the Subject Parcel. Finally, the Applicant is also asking that the City’s Comprehensive Plan be amended to the extent that the Subject Parcel is currently designated as Low Density Mixed-Use on the Future Land Use Map. The Applicant asks that the Subject Parcel’s designation on the Future Land Use Map be changed to Heavy Industrial to conform to what the Subject Parcel would actually be used for if rezoning is approved. This change would also make sense so as to correspond to what all the property surrounding the Subject Parcel is currently used as, which is the Applicant’s Stockbridge Quarry. If you have any questions about the above requests, or if any other information is needed in support of the requests, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The three requests are for: 1. Rezoning of the Subject Parcel from C2 (general commercial district) to HI (heavy industrial district); 2. Special Use Permit for the Subject Parcel to allow the development of natural resources including the removal of minerals (such as rock quarries) and natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery; and 3. Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change the Subject Parcel’s designation on the City’s Future Land Use Map from Low Density Mixed-Use to Heavy Industrial. The Subject Parcel is 1.4 acres currently zoned C2 that is owned by Ekstedt Properties, LLC (“Ekstedt”). There is one building on the property that is used in Ekstedt’s business. Ekstedt is fully aware of the Applicant’s requests to the City and supports the Applicant’s requests for the Subject Parcel. The Subject Parcel has approximately 140 feet of frontage along North Henry Boulevard. All remaining sides of the Subject Parcel are surrounded by property owned by the Applicant and currently used in the Applicant’s Stockbridge Quarry. The Subject Parcel juts into the Applicant’s property (parcel no. S33-01053000), creating a rectangular incision into the 30+ ATLANTA ATHENS MACON jamesbatesllp.com Ryan Anderson, Community Development Director Veronica Green, Chief Planner June 1,2026 acres of property owned by the Applicant that surrounds the Subject Parcel. All the Applicant’s property surrounding the Subject Parcel is already zoned HI and used as part of Applicant’s quarry. In total the Applicant owns over 787 acres of property associated with the Stockbridge Quarry. The Applicant requests that the Subject Parcel be rezoned to HI in order to allow the Applicant to utilize the 1.4 acres as part of its quarry operations. If rezoning is approved, the large majority of the Subject Parcel would be utilized as a berm with a small portion of the 1.4 acres being used as an edge of the Applicant’s mining pit as shown on the Site Plan submitted with this Application. Pursuant to the City’s Unified Development Code (“UDC”) at § 3.2.25, mines and quarries are allowed in the HI zoning district. That section states, “The development of natural resources, including removal of minerals and other natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery, is allowed in the HI zoning district. . . .” Section 3.1 of the UDC states that mines and quarries are Permitted Uses in the HI district, but it also says that the “[d]evelopment of natural resources, including the removal of minerals (such as rock quarries) and natural materials, together with necessary buildings and machinery” requires a Special Use in the HI district. Thus, to try and fully satisfy any discrepancies in the UDC, the Applicant is also requesting that it be granted a Special Use Permit pursuant to § 3.1 of the UDC to allow the Applicant to build a berm and conduct mining operations on the Subject Parcel. Finally, the Applicant is also asking that the City’s Comprehensive Plan be amended to the extent that the Subject Parcel is currently designated as Low Density Mixed-Use on the Future Land Use Map. The Applicant asks that the Subject Parcel’s designation on the Future Land Use Map be changed to Heavy Industrial to conform to what the Subject Parcel would actually be used for if rezoning is approved. This change would also make sense so as to correspond to what all the property surrounding the Subject Parcel is currently used as, which is the Applicant’s Stockbridge Quarry. If you have any questions about the above requests, or if any other information is needed in support of the requests, please do not hesitate to contact me.

The Redevelopment Plan specifically states that the purpose of TAD #1 was to help overcome market conditions that prevented private capital from following public investment.

ACCOUNT TRANSFER FROM: OTHER ACCOUNT TRANSFER TO: PRESENTER: DEPARTMENT: William Smith Economic Development ITEM/PROJECT/EVENT: Request Council support for the expansion of existing Tax Allocation District (TAD) No. 1 to include additional commercial properties along the North Henry Boulevard corridor. The proposed expansion is intended to increase the district's redevelopment capacity, stimulate private investment, encourage commercial revitalization, and expand the future tax increment available to support eligible public infrastructure and economic development projects within the district. BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The proposed action seeks Council's support to expand the boundaries of the existing Tax Allocation District (TAD) No. 1 to incorporate additional commercially developed and commercially planned properties along the North Henry Boulevard corridor. Expanding the district will increase the future tax increment generated by redevelopment, strengthen the financial capacity of the TAD, and enhance the City's ability to fund public infrastructure, redevelopment incentives, land acquisition, and other eligible public improvements. The expansion supports the City's long-term economic development strategy by targeting strategic commercial corridors with redevelopment potential while leveraging future growth to finance public investments without increasing existing property tax rates.

Staff Signature______________________________ 2 Expansion of TAD #1 A Brief History • In 2012, the City adopted the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) 10Year Update, which identified Downtown Stockbridge as a priority redevelopment area. • In 2018, the City adopted the Stockbridge Renaissance Strategic Vision and Plan and updated Comprehensive Plan, which called for redevelopment of Downtown and portions of North Henry Boulevard • Between approximately 2010 and 2022, the City invested more than $100 million in public facilities and infrastructure, including: • City Hall • Municipal Court • Amphitheater • Conference Center • Public parks • New Police Department facilities A Brief History Despite these investments, substantial private redevelopment failed to occur at the scale anticipated by the City's plans. The Redevelopment Plan specifically states that the purpose of TAD #1 was to help overcome market conditions that prevented private capital from following public investment. In December 2021, the City adopted an Urban Redevelopment Plan covering approximately 23 acres and identifying Downtown Stockbridge as an Urban Redevelopment Area. • TAD #1 was formally created effective December 31, 2022. • Key characteristics at creation: Parcels 344 Acres Approximately 501 Base Digest $35,893,424 Fair Market Value $89.7 million Share of City Digest 3.4% Estimated Population ~7,700 residents Then & Parcels 381 Base Digest $35,893,424 Share of City Digest 3.4% Parcels Now 444 Base Digest $59,850,908 Share of City Digest 4.56% O.C.G.A. § 36-44-3 (13) states: Tax allocation district means a contiguous geographic area within a redevelopment area O.C.G.A. § 36-44-17: No political subdivision may create a tax allocation district when the total current taxable value of property subject to ad valorem property taxes within the proposed district plus the total current taxable value of property subject to ad valorem property taxes within all its existing tax allocation districts exceeds 10 percent of the total current taxable value of all taxable property located within the area of operation of the political Issue: The TAD does not generate enough increment to have a financial impact on development.

This return will be used to determine the final tax for the calendar year just completed and as an estimate of the gross receipts and occupation tax for the current calendar year. Businesses that do not submit the renewal application will be automatically renewed by the business services division with a 10% non-filing fee based on the previous year gross receipts with a review process that can increase based on the number of years the business did not submit a renewal application. C. Where a business subject to the occupation tax for the calendar year has been conducted for only a part of the preceding year, the amount of gross receipts for such part shall be reported in said return. Said return shall also show a figure putting the receipts for such part of a year on an annual basis with the part-year receipts bearing the same ratio to the whole-year gross receipts as the part year bears to the whole year. Said figure shall be used as the estimate of the gross receipts of the business for the current calendar year in establishing the business tax liability. D. For those practitioners of professions who are lawyers or attorneys engaged in the practice of law, and who elect to pay the occupation tax as set forth in Section 9.01.030 as opposed to the method set forth in Section 9.01.090(A)(2), all occupation taxes levied under this article are levied on the amount of business which was transacted during the previous calendar year. Each person subject to the occupation tax levied in this chapter shall file with the business services division the returns specifically provided for in this section, showing the gross receipts of that business during the preceding calendar year. This return shall be used as a basis for making payment of the occupation tax for the previous calendar year. Occupation taxes shall be calculated for the year ending December 31st and shall be due no later than January 15th of the following year.

(Ord. 98-22 § 1 (part), 1998) Chapter 9.03 SOUND PRODUCTION PERMITS Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:09 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 22 of 284 9.03.010 Purpose and intent. The purpose of this ordinance is to prescribe a method by which the city can regulate sound produced at subject establishments to prevent disturbances of the public peace in nearby residential areas. Although the city zoning ordinance allows and encourages many for-profit or not-for-profit businesses, offices, organizations or institutions to conduct their operations near residential areas and the city wishes to continue to permit such uses proximate to residential areas, some of these uses have generated sound at levels beyond those tolerable to the average residents of the city. These disturbances have generated numerous complaints and forced the city to bring legal actions against offensive businesses. Therefore, it is the city's intent to regulate the time, place and manner of sound produced at or by subject establishments as defined herein through the issuance and enforcement of sound production permits. Said permits are intended to protect the public safety and welfare as well as nearby residential property values from the adverse impacts of intolerable sound emanating from subject establishments. (Ord. 03-71 § 1 (part), 2003) 9.03.020 Definitions. Unless otherwise provided, the terms of this chapter shall retain their common meaning. The following terms, however, are terms of art specific to this chapter and shall be afforded the meaning prescribed.

"Off-site tester" is a tester who assists with determination of whether an establishment qualifies as a subject establishment or establishment of maximum permitted sound levels by measuring audible sound emanating from subject establishments while standing at a location designated by this chapter. "On-site tester" is a tester who assists with determination of whether an establishment qualifies as a subject establishment or establishment of maximum permitted sound levels by adjusting and measuring the sound levels of sound production devices at establishments or ASPDs at subject establishments as required by this chapter. "Sound measuring device" means the CESVA model SC-30 integrating sound level meter with real time frequency analyzer. "Sound producing device" is any device, system or instrument, electrically powered or not, including but not limited to musical instruments, stereos, karaoke machines, jukeboxes, speakers, disc-jockey arrangements, live entertainment and the like, used by an establishment or located on the property of an establishment and, when operated, played, or performed, produces sound at a level greater than fifty decibel (50db) on an A-weighted scale or the designated hertz levels. "Sound source" means any part of a sound producing device or ASPD from which sound can be made to emanates at a level greater than fifty decibel (50 db) on an A-weighted scale or any designated hertz level when measured within twenty feet (20') of said part.

As a condition to the issuance of an occupational tax certificate (commonly known as a business license) under Chapter 9.01 of this code, the owners or operators of establishments shall test for whether the sound production devices located on the property of the establishment qualify as ASPDs. Such test shall be done in accordance with subsections A and B of Section 9.02.050. B. Owners or operators of subject establishments are required to apply for, obtain and comply with their sound production permits as issued and enforced by the city in accordance with this chapter. C. For all subject establishments, no ASPD shall be allowed or sound production permit issued for use or operation of ASPDs outside the heated space of a building.

Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:09 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 26 of 284 C. The business services manager shall have ten (10) business days to make a determination of completeness. If complete, the business services manager shall issue a sound production permit to the applicant. If incomplete, the business services manager shall notify the applicant in writing that the application is incomplete and set forth the information needed to overcome the deficiency. Failure to make a completeness determination within ten (10) days of an application's submission shall result in the automatic conversion of the application into an enforceable temporary sound production permit valid until the issuance of a sound production permit or a written determination of the business services manager that said application is incomplete. Under no circumstances shall a temporary sound production permit created under this subsection be valid for longer than the remaining calendar days of the year in which the completeness determination was due. D. An applicant may, in writing, appeal the determination of the business services manager to the city council within thirty (30) days of that determination. Within sixty (60) days of receipt of such an appeal, the city council shall hear the appeal at a regularly scheduled meeting. At least five (5) days prior to said hearing, the business services manager shall provide the appealing applicant with written notice of the time, date and location of said hearing. E. At any time, the city council, by its own adopted motion, may review an application or an issued sound production permit. Should the city council desire to take action on an application or issued sound production permit, it shall do so only by majority vote at a public hearing after providing the applicant with written notice ten (10) days in advance of said hearing and the action that may be taken. The applicant may retain and be represented by legal counsel at said hearing. At such a hearing, the city council may revoke an issued sound production permit if it finds that the applicant provided false or misleading information in his or her application or add conditions to an issued sound production permit provided such conditions are consistent with the purposes of this chapter. An applicant or permit holder may appeal any revocation or condition imposed under this paragraph in accordance with the form of appeal provided under Section 9.03.090. F. Sound production permits shall contain the information provided in subsections (C)(1) and (C)(2) of this section, the maximum permitted sound levels, a permit number assigned by the business services manager, and the signature of the business services manager or his or her designee.

Sound production permits are not transferable and shall expire at eleven fifty-nine (11:59) p.m. on December 31 of the year in which they were issued. Any time a sound production permit expires without renewal, the owner or operator of a subject establishment shall reapply and conduct a new sound production test to determine the maximum permitted sound level. I. Any permit holder seeking to renew an existing sound production permit shall submit to the business services manager a letter requesting renewal and containing any information necessary to update the original application and a new maximum permitted sound level. Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:09 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 27 of 284 Hence, the owner or operator shall conduct a new sound production test to determine the maximum permitted sound level for the renewed permit. Renewal letters are due to the business services manager by December 1 of the year in which said permit was issued. The procedures and rules for determinations of completeness and issuance of sound production permits shall apply to renewals. In addition, the authority of the renewing applicant, consent given by the renewing applicant, and oaths or affirmations made by the renewing applicant in his or her original application shall likewise be renewed and continue to apply. If the renewing applicant differs from the original applicant for the same subject establishment, however, the said renewing applicant may not renew but shall submit a new application. (Ord. 03-71 § 1 (part), 2003) 9.03.050 Sound production test. A. The maximum permitted sound levels shall be established using the following sound production test. 1. For this test, the on-site tester shall cause to be used music that produces sound that will register on both an A-weighted scale and at each designated hertz level (i.e., both treble and base sound). Also, during this test, doors and windows of the subject establishment shall be closed. 2. Initially, each sound producing device of an establishment must be tested to determine whether it qualifies as an ASPD. To make such a determination, an on-site tester will cause said device to be operated, played, or performed at its highest sound producing level. If the sound produced by said device is detected above fifty decibels (50 db) on an A-weighted scale or above any of the designated hertz levels by an off-site tester using a sound measurement device at a distance of one hundred feet (100′) from the sound source, if outside, or from the exterior of the building or structure in which a sound source is located, then it shall be deemed an amplified sound production device. 3. For each ASPD, an off-site tester shall stand outside of the nearest residence or hospital within ten feet (10′) of the exterior side which most directly faces the subject establishment while an on-site tester causes the volume of each ASPD to be increased to the point where the sound emanating from the ASPD is detectable at levels above fifty decibels (50 db) on the A-weighted scale and each of the designated hertz levels by the off-site tester. 4. At that level of volume, the on-site tester causes the volume of the ASPD to be decreased to a level where the sound is no longer detected above fifty decibels (50 db) on an A-weighted scale or any of the designated hertz levels by the off-site tester. At that level using a sound measuring device, the on-site tester shall take and record a measurement of the A-weighted scale and each designated hertz level while standing as directly in line with the off-site tester's location as is reasonably possible and twenty feet (20′) from the exterior side of the building from which the sound is emanating. If an approximate in-line location is twenty feet (20′) from the exterior side of the building is not possible and easily accessible for enforcement purposes, then the on-site Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:09 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 28 of 284 tester shall record a measurement at some other location easily identifiable for enforcement purposes and as close as possible to the above prescribed location. For the said location, the tester shall cause a measurement marker to be created and a description of and map indicating the location of the measurement marker shall be provided in the application for a sound production permit. 5. Thereafter, the on-site tester shall take and record the same types of measurements twenty feet (20′) from each of the exterior sides of the building from which the sound is emanating. 6. Each measurement shall be taken for a period of one minute and during the absence of background noise. 7. A general description of each ASPD, the time, date and location of each recorded measurement along with the name and signature of the recorder shall be recorded and said record shall be attached to the affidavit described in subsection (A)(9) of this section. 8. Of all the measurements taken and recorded for each ASPD on the premises of the subject establishment, the lowest of the A-weighted scale measurements and the lowest measurement for each designated hertz level shall be the maximum permitted sound levels for the subject establishment when measured at the measurement marker. 9. The off-site and on-site testers shall execute an affidavit stating their company or partnership name; individual names, initials, titles, if any, and contact information; the maximum permitted sound level determined; the serial number, maker, name and type of sound measurement device used; a statement that the sound measurement devise was properly calibrated immediately prior to conducting this test and the time and date of said calibration; and a statement certifying that the recorded measurements are accurate and the same as those detected when the testers conducted the sound production test. B. The maximum permitted sound levels shall then be included in the application for a sound production permit and the permit itself. C. The sound measurement device shall be provided by the city and shall be used, properly calibrated and maintained by the city in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. A tester using a city owned sound measurement device shall not in any way alter or tamper with the device. Doing so will be a violation of this chapter and grounds for revocation of any permit issued based on a sound production test using an altered or tampered device. D.

No. 11-253, § 1, 6-13-2011) 9.17.030 Limitation on issuance. A. Preliminary Findings. 1. As a municipality located within the Atlanta Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area which is experiencing rapid growth and change due to urbanization of our county and being familiar with the experiences of other urban and suburban counties and municipalities including, but not limited to, Atlanta, Dekalb County, and Fulton County, Georgia, which experiences are relevant to the problems faced by the city, the mayor and council take note of the well-known and self-evident conditions attendant to Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:12 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 102 of 284 the operation of businesses by dealer in precious metals or gems, which do not vary greatly among generally comparable communities within our country. 2. Moreover, it is the finding of the mayor and council that operation of businesses by dealers in precious metals or gems under certain circumstances leads to an increase in the surrounding area of criminal behavior and creates undesirable community conditions. 3. Among the acts of criminal behavior identified with the operation of businesses by dealers in precious metals or gems, are theft, burglary, drug trafficking, drug use and corruption of minors. Among the undesirable community conditions identified with such businesses, are actual or perceived depression of property values or acceleration of community blight in the surrounding neighborhood, increased allocation in expenditures for law enforcement personnel to preserve law and order, and an increased burden on the judicial system as a consequence of the criminal behavior described in this section. 4. Accordingly, it is in the best interest of the health, welfare, safety and morals of the community to reduce the adverse impact of businesses operated by dealers in precious metals or gems by limiting the number of such uses, so as to reduce the negative impacts of such businesses upon other business uses, neighborhood property values, residential areas and public and semipublic uses; to ensure that businesses operated by dealers in precious metals or gems do not impede development, redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization efforts. 5. Therefore, the numerical limitation of businesses operated by dealers in precious metals or gems is in the public welfare and is a matter of governmental interest and concern to minimize the occurrence of criminal behavior and undesirable community conditions normally associated with such activities. To that end, the ordinance codified in this section is adopted. B. No precious metal or gems dealer's license shall be issued to any person or to any dealer in precious metals or gems who has been convicted of any crime involving as an element thereof the theft of property. C. Licenses Available. The number of licenses available for dealers in precious metals or gems shall be determined based on the most recent United States Census data. The city council may authorize additional licenses if deemed necessary to meet the economic development goals of the city. D. Whenever it shall be recognized by the community development director that the release of population projections by the U.S. Census Bureau results in the availability of one (1) or more additional licenses, and it is determined by the community development director that one (1) or more additional licenses are available, the city shall publish a notice, one time, advising the public of such, and that applications will be received for a period of forty-five (45) days subsequent to the publication. If, during this period, applications are received which exceed the number of newly available licenses, there shall be held a lottery, administered by the community development director, to determine the order in which applications shall be processed. Thereafter, the applications shall be processed in the order Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:12 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 103 of 284 reflected in the results of the lottery.

(Ord. 03-73 § 2 (part), 2003) Chapter 9.44 ADULT ENTERTAINMENT ESTABLISHMENTS 9.44.010 Adult entertainment establishments—Findings—Public purpose. A. As a municipality located within the Atlanta Standard Metropolitan Statistical Area which is experiencing rapid growth and change due to urbanization of our county and being familiar with the experiences of other urban and suburban counties and municipalities including, but not limited to, Atlanta, DeKalb County and Fulton County, Georgia; Austin, Texas; Phoenix, Arizona; Oklahoma City, Los Angeles, California; Oklahoma; Cleveland, Ohio Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:15 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 153 of 284 and Indianapolis, Indiana, which experiences are relevant to the problems faced by the city of Stockbridge, Georgia, the mayor and council take note of the well-known and selfevident conditions attendant to the commercial exploitation of human sexuality, which do not vary greatly among generally comparable communities within our country. The mayor and council also take note of studies concerning such conditions in many of the aforementioned municipalities. B. Moreover, it is the finding of the mayor and council that public nudity (either partial or total) under certain circumstances, particularly circumstances related to the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages in so-called "nude bars" or establishments offering socalled "nude entertainment" or "adult entertainment," leads to an increase in the surrounding area of criminal behavior and creates undesirable community conditions, blight and diminution in property values. C. Among the acts of criminal behavior identified with the commercial combination of live nudity and alcohol, and live commercial nudity in general, are disorderly conduct, prostitution, solicitation, drug trafficking, drug use and corruption of public officials. Among the undesirable community conditions identified with the commercial combination of live nudity and alcohol, and commercial nudity in general, are depression of property values and acceleration of community blight in the surrounding neighborhood, increased allocation of and expenditure for law enforcement personnel to preserve law and order, and increased burden on the judicial system as a consequence of the criminal behavior hereinabove described. D. Accordingly, it is in the best interest of the health, welfare, safety and morals of the community to reduce the adverse impact of adult entertainment establishments by limiting the number of such uses, so as to reduce the negative impacts of adult entertainment establishments upon other business uses, neighborhood property values, residential areas and public and semipublic uses; to insure that adult entertainment establishments do not impede development, redevelopment and neighborhood revitalization efforts; and so as to avoid allowing adult entertainment establishments in heavily used public pedestrian areas. E. Therefore, the limitation of adult entertainment to certain prescribed areas of the city is in the public welfare and it is a matter of governmental interest and concern to minimize the occurrence of criminal behavior and undesirable community conditions normally associated with establishments which provide or establish adult entertainment. To that end, the ordinance codified in this chapter is adopted. (Ord. 04-90 § 1, 2004; Ord. 03-80 § 1, 2003; Ord. 93-9 § 1, 1993) 9.44.020 Definitions.

Landscaping and Buffer Requirements. 1. WCFs shall be landscaped in accordance with the landscape requirements contained in Sections 3-7- 216 through 3-7-227 off the Henry County zoning ordinance, except for additional requirements stated herein. 2. Landscaping and buffer requirements can be waived where the WCF applicant makes other means of screening the support structure base and adjacent equipment facilities (i.e., opaque fencing, etc.). The waiver shall be in writing by the community development director pending an administrative review of development plans. 3. Existing mature tree growth and natural land forms on the site shall be preserved to the extent feasible; provided, however, that vegetation that causes interference with the antennas or inhibits access to the equipment facility may be trimmed. 4. Existing vegetation on site may be used in lieu of required landscaping where approved by the community development director. 5. Landscaping shall be confined to the leased area of the WCF wherever feasible. 6. Additional Landscaping and Buffer Requirements. 7. a. In single-family and two-family residential zoning districts (RA, R-1, R-2, R-3, RD, RM and/or RMH), a ten foot (10′) perimeter buffer is required, with a minimum of one (1) tree per twenty (20) lineal feet of buffer, with a minimum of fifty percent (50%) being shade trees. Retention of existing trees on site in order to meet this requirement is encouraged. Grass or other groundcover species shall be planted on all areas of the buffer strip required which are not covered by other landscape material. b. In the remaining office, commercial, and industrial districts (OI, C-1, C-2, C3, M-1 and/or M-2), an additional ten foot (10′) buffer shall be required, with landscaping provided according to Section 9.52.040(C)(1). Maintenance. It will be the responsibility of the owner/tenant to keep all landscaping material (as part of the landscaped area) free from disease and properly maintained in order to fulfill the purpose for which it was established. The owners of the property, and any tenant on the property where buffers and Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:15 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 174 of 284 landscaping are required, shall be jointly and severally responsible for the maintenance of all landscaping materials. Such maintenance shall include all actions necessary to keep the buffer and landscape areas free from litter and debris, to keep plantings healthy, and to keep planting areas neat in appearance. Any vegetation that constitutes part of the buffer or landscaping shall be replaced in the event it dies. D. Aesthetics, Placement, Materials and Color. 1. Attached WCFs shall have both antenna and supporting electrical and mechanical equipment that are of a neutral color identical to, or closely compatible with, the color of the supporting structure so as to make the antenna and related equipment as visually unobtrusive as possible. 2. WCFs with support structures shall consist of towers with a galvanized steel finish, subject to any applicable standards of the FAA, in the C-3, M-1 and M-2 zoning districts. In the remaining zoning districts (RA, R-1, R-2, R-3, RD, RM, RMH, OI, C-1, C-2), WCFs with support structures shall consist of towers with a galvanized steel finish that, subject to any applicable standards of the FAA, shall be painted a neutral color, so as to reduce visual obtrusiveness. At a tower site, the design of the building and related structures shall, to the extent possible, use materials, colors, textures, screening, and landscaping that will blend the tower facilities to the natural setting and built environment. WCFs with support structures shall be of the monopole variety except when providers can document and demonstrate need for lattice-type towers. E. Separation Requirement. In zoning districts other than general/heavy commercial and industrial (C-2, C-3, M-1, M-2), WCFs over one hundred fifty feet (150′) in height shall not be located within one-quarter of a mile from any existing WCF that is over one hundred fifty feet (150′) feet in height. This requirement may be waived upon evidence provided to the community development director by the applicant that the nearest tower cannot support any new antenna arrays. F. Lighting. All WCFs shall be lighted consistent with FAA regulations for tower illumination regardless of height. Any objection by the applicant based on FAA restrictions shall be presented in writing to the community development director. G. Noise. No equipment shall be operated at a WCF so as to produce noise which would constitute a nuisance based on local or state laws, except for in emergency situations requiring the use of a backup generator, where the noise standards may be exceeded on a temporary basis, not to exceed fourteen (14) days. No generator shall be used for regular WCF operations prior to commercial power being delivered to the site. H. Security Fencing. WCFs with support structures shall be enclosed by a security fence of neutral color not less than six feet (6′) in height. The support structure shall also be equipped with an appropriate anti-climbing device. I. Radio Frequency Emissions. The Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 (FTA) gives the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) sole jurisdiction of the field of Created: 2026-02-06 07:40:15 [EST] (Supp. No. 57, 1-26) Page 175 of 284 regulation of radio frequency (RF) emissions and WCFs which meet the FCC standards shall not be conditioned or denied on the basis of RF impacts. J. Federal Requirements. All WCFs must meet or exceed current standards and regulations of the FAA, the FCC, and any other agency of the federal government with the authority. If such standards and regulations are changed, then the owners of the WCFs governed by this chapter shall bring such antenna arrays and/or support structures into compliance with such revised standards and regulations within six (6) months of the effective dates of such standards and regulations. Failure to bring WCFs into compliance with such revised standards and regulation shall constitute grounds for the removal of the WCF at the owner's expense by utilizing the bond required in Section 9.52.080. K. Structural Integrity. To ensure the structural integrity of towers, the owner of a tower shall ensure that it is maintained in compliance with standards contained in applicable local building codes and the Electronic Industries Association/Telecommunications Industries (EIA/TIA) 222 Revision F Standard entitled Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers and Antenna Supporting Structures (or equivalent), as amended from time to time. A letter stamped by an engineer certified in the state of Georgia shall be required stating that the WCF and support structure meet or exceed all applicable requirements set forth herein. If, upon inspection, the governing authority concludes a tower fails to comply with such codes and standards and constitutes a danger to persons or property, then upon notice being provided to the tower's owner, the owner shall have thirty (30) days to bring such tower into compliance with such standards. If the owner fails to bring such tower into compliance within said thirty (30) days, the governing authority may remove such tower at the owner's expense by utilizing the bond required in Section 9.52.080 of this chapter.

Page 14 of 14 OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Shawn Edmondson, City Manager DATE: June 16, 2026 SUBJECT: Assessment of Proposed FLOST Distribution Methodology PURPOSE: Evaluate the proposed 50% population / 50% net M&O digest allocation and the negotiated adjustment to increase Hampton to 3.55%. Executive Summary The proposed base methodology is reasonable and defensible. A 50% population and 50% net maintenance-andoperations property tax digest formula balances service demand with relative fiscal capacity. Under that formula, Stockbridge receives 13.29% of the countywide distribution. The negotiated proposal lowers Stockbridge to 13.28% so Hampton can be increased from the formula result of 3.35% to its population share of 3.55%. Based on the $63 million countywide estimate noted in the proposal, Stockbridge would receive approximately $8.37 million annually. Recommendation: Support the 50/50 methodology and conditionally accept Stockbridge’s 0.01-percentage-point adjustment, provided the final agreement confirms that Stockbridge will not be reduced below 13.28%, documents the Hampton adjustment as a negotiated exception rather than a formula precedent, and includes transparent revenue estimates, a defined review period, and a validated property-tax rollback calculation. Proposed Allocation Jurisdiction 2024 Population 2025 Net M&O Digest 50/50 Formula Proposed Share Change vs. Formula Hampton 3.55% 3.15% 3.35% 3.55% +0.20 pp Locust Grove 4.53% 6.45% 5.49% 5.45% -0.04 pp McDonough 12.65% 13.50% 13.08% 13.00% -0.08 pp Stockbridge 13.84% 12.73% 13.29% 13.28% -0.01 pp Henry County / Unincorporated 65.43% 64.17% 64.80% 64.72% -0.08 pp Note: The displayed formula shares total 100.01% because the source document rounds each jurisdiction to two decimal places. The final agreement should use unrounded calculations and then reconcile rounding explicitly. City of Stockbridge | Executive Analysis | June 16, 2026 OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Assessment 1. Methodology is balanced and administratively defensible. Population approximates demand for public services, while net M&O digest reflects the relative value of the tax base and economic activity within each jurisdiction. Weighting both equally avoids relying exclusively on either residency or property wealth. 2. Stockbridge performs favorably under the formula. Stockbridge represents 13.84% of the population and 12.73% of the net M&O digest. The 50/50 calculation yields 13.29%, which is 0.44 percentage points above its digest-only share and 0.55 percentage points below its population-only share. 3. The Hampton adjustment is a policy choice, not a formula result. Hampton’s formula share is 3.35%. Raising it to 3.55% gives Hampton its full population share and increases its allocation by 0.20 percentage points, or approximately 6.0% relative to its formula allocation. The adjustment may be reasonable as an intergovernmental compromise, but it should be identified as an exception. 4. Stockbridge’s proposed concession is financially limited. The reduction from 13.29% to 13.28% equals 0.01 percentage point, or approximately $6,300 annually at $63 million in countywide FLOST proceeds. At the proposed 13.28% share, Stockbridge’s estimated annual distribution would be $8,366,400. Actual proceeds will vary with taxable sales and collection performance. 5. The projected proceeds could provide substantial rollback capacity. Using the City’s reported 2025 net digest of approximately $2.1 billion, one mill generates about $2.1 million before collection adjustments. A projected $8.37 million FLOST distribution is therefore equivalent to approximately 3.98 mills. This is a planning estimate only; the final rollback must be calculated using the certified digest, actual or conservatively projected FLOST proceeds, collection factors, and applicable legal requirements. Projected Stockbridge Proceeds and Rollback Capacity Measure Annual countywide FLOST estimate Stockbridge allocation Value of one mill Illustrative rollback capacity Calculation Proposal assumption 13.28% x $63,000,000 $2.1B digest / 1,000 $8,366,400 / $2,100,000 Estimated Result $63,000,000 $8,366,400 $2,100,000 Approximately 3.98 mills Planning note: The 3.98-mill estimate represents gross mathematical capacity, not a final recommended millage rate. Because the City’s current millage is 3.77 mills, the modeled distribution could theoretically offset the full current levy; however, Finance and legal counsel should validate the statutory application, certified digest, collection factor, timing, and required reserves before presenting a final rollback recommendation. Key Risks and Safeguards Risk Implication Recommended Safeguard Formula deviation Future negotiations may seek additional exceptions. State that Hampton’s increase is a one-time negotiated adjustment and does not amend the 50/50 methodology. Rounding ambiguity Displayed percentages do not reconcile perfectly because of two-decimal rounding. Attach the full-precision worksheet and specify the rounding and residual-allocation convention. City of Stockbridge | Executive Analysis | June 16, 2026 OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER Risk Implication Recommended Safeguard Revenue uncertainty Percentage impact may be understated or overstated without a collections forecast. Provide low, base, and high revenue scenarios and annual dollar impacts for every jurisdiction. Duration risk A small annual reduction compounds over a long agreement term. Include a fixed term, reopening clause, and periodic review tied to Census and digest updates. Legal/governance risk Informal consensus may not satisfy statutory or intergovernmental requirements. Require legal review, formal governing-body approval, and a written intergovernmental agreement. Recommended City Position • Support the 50% population / 50% net M&O digest formula as the governing allocation methodology. • Accept the proposed 13.28% Stockbridge share only if the reduction is limited to 0.01 percentage point from the 13.29% formula result. • Require the Hampton increase to be described as a negotiated adjustment, not a permanent population-floor rule or modification of the formula. • Require a full-precision allocation calculation, validated annual revenue forecast, certified-digest rollback calculation, agreement term, periodic review, and legal confirmation before final approval. • Decline any further reduction to Stockbridge unless a documented regional benefit or compensating consideration is presented to the Mayor and Council. Decision Requested Provide policy direction authorizing the City Manager to continue negotiations based on the recommended City position above and to return the final allocation agreement, supporting calculations, projected Stockbridge proceeds, validated rollback analysis, and legal review to the Mayor and Council for formal consideration.

Discussion Of Zoning Cases Item # 1 - ZONING MODIFICATION CASE #ZM-2026-01. (Council District 4.) Consideration of a major zoning modification request for the property at 111 Old Conyers Road to provide for changes to the previously-approved site plan for a mixed-use development, which included 160 apartment units plus ground-floor commercial space within a four-story mid-rise building, plus an underground parking garage. The development was approved via three cases by City Council on July 8, 2024. The cases included: 1) Comprehensive Plan Amendment Case #CP-2024-02, which changed the property’s future land use designation from Low-Density Residential to Special Purpose; 2) Rezoning Case #RZ-2024-01, which rezoned the property from SR (Suburban Residential) to PUD (Planned Unit Development); and 3) Variance Case #RZ-2024-01, which allowed the approvals of three variances, as are listed below. The previous applicant for CP2024-02, RZ-2024-01, and VR-2024-01 was Charlie Hightower, on behalf of First National Land Trust, LLC. The previously-approved development was not built, and now, a new applicant wishes to build a revised development. • Previously-Approved Variance Request #1—Variance to reduce the parking requirements according to the number of bedrooms per apartment unit, whereby studio and one-bedroom apartment units would have only 1.00 parking spaces instead of the required 1.25 parking spaces per unit, and two-bedroom units would have only 1.25 parking spaces per unit instead of the required 1.75 parking spaces per unit. • Previously-Approved Variance Request #2--Variance to modify the ground-floor retail square footage requirement by changing the residential-to-retail space ratio from the required ratio of 75%/25% to a proposed ratio of 87.5%/12.5%. • Previously-Approved Variance Request #3--Variance to increase the project density from twenty-four (24) units per acre to twenty-nine (29) units per acre. Page | 3 The current applicant for ZM-2026-01 is Marlon Burton of Morgan, Jackson & Powell, Inc., who proposes to build a mixed-use development with 200 apartment units and 15,000 square feet of retail/commercial space within a six-story building, plus a parking garage. For such purpose, he requests the following two zoning modifications: • Zoning Modification Request #1--An increase in the maximum number of residential units from 160 units to 200 units; and • Zoning Modification Request #2--An increase in the maximum building height from four (4) stories to six (6) stories. The zoning and future land use designation of the property would not change. The front portion of the property is located within the Parkway Mixed-Use (PMU) Overlay District. The current property owner is Solutions Development, LLC. The property is located in Land Lot 68, District 12, and it contains 6.71 +/- acres within the Stockbridge City Limits.

OVERVIEW OF THE ZONING PROCESS—SLIDE #2 TYPES OF ZONING APPLICATIONS / CASES: ANNEXATION – Allows a property in unincorporated Henry County to be brought into the Stockbridge City Limits. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT – Changes the “future land use designation” of the property from what the Future Land Use Map shows within the City’s Comprehensive Plan, to another future land use designation which 1) allows for the proposed types of use; 2) allows the requested zoning; and 3) allows the proposed residential density. REZONING – Changes the base zoning of the property to allow for the proposed types of uses, and to disallow the uses under the existing zoning. Any overlay zoning district would not change. VARIANCE – Allows the applicant to deviate from a required site design standard, such as a building setback requirement, or to be exempt from meeting a certain requirement. SPECIAL USE PERMIT – Is required for special types of uses that are identified as being possibly allowed in a zoning district. Examples: churches, liquor stores, personal care homes, and gas stations. ZONING MODIFICATION – Is required when a developer wants to deviate from what City Council approved for a rezoning case. Examples: building according to a completely different site plan (major modification) or seeking relief from a required zoning condition (minor zoning modification).

The site plan also incorporates structured and surface parking, as well as associated amenities including open space, a rooftop pool, dog park, playground, and passive recreation areas. As part of this Major Modification request, the following revisions to the previously approved plan are being requested: • • • An increase in the maximum number of residential units from 160 units to 200 units An increase in the maximum building height from four (4) stories to six (6) stories A modification to the parking requirements to allow 1 space per one-bedroom/studio unit and 1.25 spaces per two-bedroom unit The proposed plan maintains the overall intent of the previously approved PUD while enhancing the site with a vertically integrated mixed-use product that promotes efficient land use, walkability, and a higher-quality development pattern along the corridor.

Mayor Jayden L. Williams call the City Council Meeting to order at 6:04 PM. The invocation and The Pledge of Allegiance were led by Councilmember Kyle Berry. All councilmembers were present and a quorum was established. Councilmember Barber requested two amendments to the agenda: (1) a directive to staff to continue research on a shopping carts ordinance, and (2) a directive to staff to continue research on a "Code Cares" or similar program. The motion to amend failed for lack of a second. Motion to adopt the agenda as presented was made by Councilmember Gantt; seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander. The motion passed 5–0. ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES Approval of the Work Session Summary Minutes April 28, 2026 Approval of the City Council Summary Minutes April 13, 2026 Approval of the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes Day 1 – March 4, 2026 Approval of the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes Day 2 – March 5, 2026 Approval of the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes Day 3 – March 6, 2026 1|P a ge Before the vote, Councilmember Barber requested two amendments to the meeting minutes. The first addressed the Planning Retreat minutes of March 4, 2026, which she stated did not reflect her discussion regarding the use of parking meters during the city's concerts and other events. The second pertained to the April 28, 2026 Work Session minutes, which she stated did not capture her final comments during the vote on the Flock LPR/PTZ camera item, specifically, that supporting documents and the contract had not been provided to council prior to or during that meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander clarified for the record that there was no council consensus to implement paid parking meters downtown, though he had no objection to reflecting that Councilmember Barber raised the topic. Councilmember Barber emphasized that she was requesting reflection of the topics she raised, not a record of any vote or consensus. Councilmember Gantt noted that the full discussion—including any rebuttal regarding whether documents were or were not provided—should also be reflected in the minutes in totality. Motion to amend the minutes to include Councilmember Barber's comments from the March 4, 2026 Planning Retreat and the April 28, 2026 Work Session, along with all related council discussion, was made by Councilmember Barber and seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 5–0. Motion to approve the Work Session Summary Minutes for April 28, 2026; the City Council Summary Meeting Minutes for April 13, 2026; and the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes for Day 1 through Day 3 (March 4–6, 2026), inclusive of the revisions made by Councilmember Barber was made by Councilmember Gantt; seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 5–0. PUBLIC COMMENTS Six people presented Public Comments: Audrey Holmes (206 Hunting Court, Spivey Ridge) described the impact of construction activity on neighboring residents, noting that heavy machinery operated directly at the property line with no advance notice to homeowners, removing the tree line that had previously provided privacy and visual screening. She expressed a sense of disrespect as a taxpaying resident and requested that a security boundary be established between the construction site and the subdivision. Linda Stanley (7940 Christian Court, Lake Spivey) expressed that she no longer felt safe or at peace in her home of nearly 31 years, citing strangers traversing her yard. She requested that the city provide a resolution to restore safety and peace to the subdivision. 2|P a ge Evelyn Dixon (267 Spivey Ridge Circle, Lake Spivey) acknowledged and thanked the council for its prior communication regarding the postponement of a town hall meeting on the Tranquil Trails development and for providing a FAQ document. However, she stated that several important questions remained unaddressed, particularly regarding what she characterized as a substantial modification from the 2022 conceptual plan— specifically, the increase from four to six apartment buildings. While acknowledging that the total unit count reportedly remained unchanged, she argued that more buildings represented a material design revision with implications for density, site layout, traffic flow, green space, buffer placement, and parking. She formally requested clarification, updated impact assessments, and supporting documentation to be provided before the rescheduled town hall. Mike Adams (224 Hunting Court, Lake Spivey) presented a visual slideshow showing before-and-after photographs of the tree buffer behind his property. He documented the clear-cutting of mature trees up to and reportedly in some cases over the property line by construction equipment. He shared a quote from a Facebook post attributed to a community page stating that the developer would be required to replant the mandated buffer with trees and install a fence along the property line, and expressed hope that this would be enforced. Cathy Walker (200 Hunting Court, Lake Spivey) addressed what she described as a pattern of transparency and accountability failures. She referenced the city's own FAQ document, which she said identified changes between the 2022 approval and current construction involving building count, site layout, parking, stormwater systems, amenities, commercial relocation, and the removal of townhomes from the original concept. She stated that substantial and major modifications to approved zoning conditions require review and approval by the mayor and council before permits are issued, and questioned whether this process had been followed and who approved the changes. She also raised concerns about the last-minute scheduling and cancellation of the town hall meeting and called for consistent, direct communication from elected officials—particularly the District 1 councilmember whose constituents are directly affected. Kay Adams (224 Hunting Court, Lake Spivey) appealed to the council on behalf of longterm homeowners, asking that they consider the impact of the development on property values. She expressed a preference for owner-occupied housing over rental units, citing differences in investment and stewardship. She raised specific concerns about trash dumpster placement near the residential fence line and strongly requested a substantial buffer—not minimal landscaping, but multiple rows of fast-growing, mature trees—to restore the visual and practical separation that existed before construction. QUARTERLY REPORTS – BOARDS & COMMITTEES Downtown Development Authority Quarterly Report – 1st Qtr. 2026 Warren Washington, Vice Chair of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), presented the first quarter 2026 report. He reports financially, the DDA maintained stable balances across its three primary accounts. 3|P a ge The operating account recorded $15,000 in inflows with controlled expenses, the project account maintained a balance exceeding $145,000 after a $15,000 strategic transfer to support operations, and the facade grant account had approximately $18,000 in grantrelated outlays supporting local business improvements. On the governance side, the DDA advanced the process of securing legal counsel, improved compliance procedures, and continued board training. The DDA is also developing a new internal grant program to expand facade improvement support to all downtown businesses— both exterior (up to $15,000) and interior (an additional $15,000 or more). Key project initiatives included preparations to bring a formal request to council for a Daddy King statue and related cultural identity anchors in downtown, efforts toward downtown boundary expansion, alleyway redevelopment, streetscape improvements, and coordination on major city-led investments including the amphitheater, a STEM school, and roadway enhancements. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander commended the DDA and highlighted the progress towards the revitalization of the MLK Senior corridor, citing new businesses including ABA Therapy, Downtown Social, and a new clothing retailer as evidence of forward momentum. Councilmember Barber asked about the timeline for the downtown boundary expansion vote, and Mr. Washington indicated it should occur by the next council meeting. Councilmember Barber specifically requested that Stockbridge Lakes Bed and Breakfast be added to the boundary expansion map. Mr. Washington acknowledged this was the first time the matter had been brought to the DDA's attention, and Councilmember Barber directed City Manager Edmondson and Mr. Anderson to ensure the property is included. Citywide Development Authority Quarterly Report – 1st Qtr. 2026 No representative was present to deliver this report. Youth Council Quarterly Report – 1st Qtr. 2026 The Stockbridge Youth Council (SYC) quarterly report was presented by Mackenzy Edwards (Mayor Pro Tem, SYC; Eagles Landing High School), Houleymatou Diallo (Member at Large, Dutch Town High School), and Sharika Zellers (Advisory Committee Student Liaison). The council reported on a full slate of first-quarter activities centered on the 2026 initiative theme of "well-being," encompassing social, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Activities included an MLK Day of Service cleanup with Mayor Pro Tem Alexander on Campground Road, a Winter Wonderland Teen Skate Night with over 300 student participants, a leadership retreat in February focused on brand-building and entrepreneurship, participation in the Shades of Melanin African American History Celebration, a community breakfast with the Stockbridge Police Department aimed at bridging the gap between teenagers and law enforcement, participation in the A.D. King 4|P a ge March to Selma representing the City of Stockbridge alongside students from other counties and Atlanta University Center institutions, and the third annual Youth Entrepreneurship Expo held at the Merle Manders Conference Center with over 50 youth vendors. The SYC reported a starting budget of $31,900 for the year, with $17,832.81 remaining as of the report date, accounting for expenditures through the period including the police dinner in April and upcoming costs for the senior banquet and awards ceremony. Remaining planned expenditures include beautification activities, health and wellness initiatives through the summer, and a school supply drive in July. Councilmember Gantt commended the SYC for its activity level and encouraged the council to explore fundraising to support attendance at the National League of Cities (NLC) conference, noting that other youth councils have done so, sometimes with contributions from participating families. Mrs. Zellars noted that fundraising for NLC travel is already being discussed and that with the budget now supporting growth from 15 to 20 student members, recruitment and fundraising will be major focuses in the upcoming school year. Mayor Williams praised the SYC's representation at the AD King trip, highlighting that the staff at the AD King Foundation commended Stockbridge's scholars as among the best who attended. CEREMONIAL REVIEW Mayor Pro Tem Alexander read and presented the following proclamations on behalf of the City of Stockbridge. National Public Works Week Proclamation; Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month Proclamation. Mayor Williams also noted that the City of Stockbridge won the competition against Jonesboro as part of the "Move with Mayor" Initiative. NEW BUSINESS Appeal Case #AP-2026-01 (Council District 4) Consideration of an appeal of the completed Zoning Verification Letter (ZVL) for two parcels at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road, including Parcel #047-01016001 with 2.64 acres and Parcel #028-02021005 with 10.88 acres. Applicant/Property Owner: Samir Patel. Agent: Newton Galloway, Attorney. Community Development Director Ryan Anderson presented the staff report. He explained that the applicant's attorney, Newton Galloway, filed a ZVL application on March 27, 2026, and the same day staff confirmed the zoning on the subject property as PUD (Planned Unit Development). The applicant contends the property is zoned PTD (Plan Town Development) based on a 2001 rezoning ordinance and an associated development agreement for the Pine Grove community. The applicant's intent is to develop a mixed-use project including a gas station/convenience store, additional retail, and townhomes. 5|P a ge Staff's position is that the PTD designation was effectively replaced when the city adopted a new Unified Development Code (UDC) and zoning map in March 2022, converting all PTD-, MUD-, and TND-zoned properties to the new PUD classification. Under PUD, a gas station is a special use requiring council approval; under PTD, the applicant contends it would be permitted by right. Mr. Anderson detailed a complex 26-year history of the property, including its 2000 annexation, its 2001 rezoning to PTD with an associated development agreement, the applicant's purchase in 2018, a 2020 Planning Commission approval of a recombination plat that was never recorded, multiple applications filed and withdrawn or stalled since 2021, and the 2022 UDC rewrite that reclassified the property to PUD. He noted that in 2025 the applicant himself submitted a special use permit application acknowledging PUD zoning, which staff viewed as an admission consistent with staff's current position. Staff's recommendation was denial of the appeal, confirmation that the property is zoned PUD, confirmation that the Pine Grove development agreement no longer applies, and direction that the applicant must record the recombination plat, apply for a special use permit for the gas station, and file a comprehensive plan amendment before the project may proceed. Attorney Newton Galloway presented on behalf of the applicant, tendering a 567-page evidentiary record to the clerk for inclusion in the official record. He argued the matter is a quasi-judicial proceeding under OCGA 36-66-3-1.2 and the city's UDC Section 10.30.1. He contended that the 2001 development agreement—recorded in Henry County Superior Court records and binding on successors—vests the property in PTD zoning and controls over any subsequent changes to city regulations by virtue of its own terms (Section 13, "Future Changes in Development Standards"). He argued the agreement contained no termination date, was expressly amended as late as 2019 when the city itself used the agreement to release the Pine View residential tract while explicitly preserving the agreement's force as to the commercial tract. He stated the commercial tract was never notified of the 2022 rezoning, that no party speaking for the commercial tract consented to the Pine View amendment, and that the development agreement remained in the chain of mister Patel's title. Attorney Galloway also recounted a lengthy history of applications dating to 2020 that, in his characterization, had never been brought forward to the council for a vote, and questioned whether the council was aware any of these applications had been pending. He acknowledged that at various points his client filed for a special use permit under PUD but stated this was done in good faith to try to move the project forward after being told the development agreement was void—a characterization he disputes. Councilmember Gantt raised the point that due to the volume of materials presented she would seek to table the item pending review by legal counsel. 6|P a ge Attorney Galloway stated he had no objection to tabling to the next regular council meeting. Motion to table Appeal Case #AP-2026-01 to the next regular council meeting to allow council and legal counsel time to review the submitted documentation was made by Councilmember Gantt and seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 4–0–1. Councilmember Barber abstained. Council Consideration For A Resolution Establishing A Council Voting Member As Intergovernmental Representative Councilmember Gantt presented a resolution to formalize the appointment of a voting council member as a liaison and representative at intergovernmental meetings, mediations, litigation proceedings, and other significant external meetings where city interests are negotiated. She explained the policy is not uncommon among municipalities and is consistent with how the city has already been operating such as with Mayor Pro Tem regularly attending such meetings alongside the mayor, but to ensure that a voting member of the governing body is always present and able to bring discussions back to the full council a resolution should be in place. She emphasized that the representative would not have independent authority to vote or make binding decisions on behalf of the council but would serve as an informed liaison. Mayor Williams sought clarification on whether this function was simply the existing role of the Mayor Pro Tem. Councilmember Gantt explained it extends beyond that position so that any voting council member may serve in the role when the Mayor Pro Tem is unavailable. Councilmember Barber objected and questioned each council members asking if they had been involved in directing legal counsel to draft the resolution and noting she had not been included in the discussions. She expressed concern that the resolution was another effort to diminish the authority of the mayor, stating that in her tenure since January 2020, the mayor had always served as the city's representative in intergovernmental matters. She further noted she is the only council member not currently serving as a liaison to any board. Councilmember Gantt responded that the resolution was based on needs arising from experience, including instances where a non-voting staff member had been sent in place of an elected official, and cited several past situations including litigation/mediation, SPLOST/LOST negotiations with other counties and cities that require negotiation as examples where this policy would have applied. Gantt reiterated that the resolution is standard municipal practice and is consistent with the council's city manager–council form of government. 7|P a ge Clarifying that the liaison has mandatory attendance requirements and the liaison can be appointment by a majority council vote each time. Motion to approve the Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of Stockbridge appointing a council member to serve as City Intergovernmental Representative, establishing duties, authorities, and reporting requirements of such representative, and for other lawful purposes was made by Councilmember Gantt and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander. The motion passed 4–1-0. Councilmember Barber opposed.

The motion passed 5–0. The council returned from executive session at approximately 8:53 PM. Motion to end the executive session and return to regular session was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander; seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 5–0.

Charlene Woodruff presented photographs alleging that a developer trespassed on and disturbed her property, cutting down mature hardwood trees, and described resulting adverse impacts to her quality of life. Kathy Walker summarized ongoing community concerns regarding the development, including unanswered questions about changes made since the original 2022 approval, the absence of a buffer restoration plan, and pending inquiries from the Attorney General's office. Following public comments, Councilmember Barber moved to direct staff to plant mature cypress trees to restore the buffer for affected homeowners. The motion did not receive a second and therefore died. Mayor Williams noted that the City Manager had been directed to mail updated information and a fact sheet to affected residents within the coming week.

Public charrettes and council input are planned as part of the first phase. The disposition of the existing statue at Municipal Park was identified as a matter to be addressed in Phase 1. Motion to approve was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander and seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 3-1. Barber Opposed Councilmember Barber opposed with the following comments for the record: "Members of this governing body, the newest members, are going to have to realize they will have to answer for all of the decisions that they're making. You're making decisions based on half information that you're being given. You're making decisions that are affecting my district. This governing body is making a whole lot of decisions about my district but yet they're not spending much time in their own districts where their residents and business owners can hold them accountable for their decisions. You can't keep making decisions about my district and not hear from me. You're hear from me every time. But eventually, the 2 well, 3 newest members of this governing body are gonna realize they are being manipulated. I jumped that ship years ago. I will stand on my own 10 toes down on every decision that I make. Every one of them. You can't keep making decisions in my district affecting the people in my district and not be held accountable for it. That's all." 2026 Budget Amendment No. 1 City Treasurer Frank Milazi presented Budget Amendment No. 1 for Fiscal Year 2026, increasing the total adopted budget from $34,768,690 to $37,880,690, an increase of $3,112,000. The primary driver of the increase is a $3,000,000 land acquisition line added to the General Fund. Additional changes included: removal of phone expenses from the Governing Body budget (relocated to IT); a $257,200 increase to HR for workers' compensation and general liability expenses; a $50,800 increase in Economic Development for unbudgeted contractual services; a $50,000 increase in Community Development equipment; and internal 3|Page reallocation of expenses within the Police Department, Municipal Court, and City Clerk's Office with no net change to their respective budgets. Mr. Milazi also announced that the City had received three recent grants, including two new law enforcement vehicles (EVs) and a bulletproof vest grant, which will be formally presented to Council for acceptance at a future meeting. Council discussion also highlighted the City's improved financial position, including an approximately $15,000,000 fund balance (approximately 50% of the operating budget, well above the GMA-recommended 25–30%), and a total of approximately $21,000,000 recovered following prior Department of Justice audit findings. The City Treasurer received recognition for the City receiving a Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) award for fiscal year 2024 . Motion to approve 2026 Budget Amendment No. 1 was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander and seconded by Councilmember Berry Discussion: Councilmember Barber asked the governing body to vote on the Amphitheater Rental Policy as a separate item and to table that item until the next council meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander made a point of order to vote on 2026 Budget Amendment No. 1, removing the Amphitheater Rental Policy and voting on each item separately. seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 3-0-1. Barber Abstained Councilmember Barber abstained, citing the inability to locate the adopted FY 2026 budget on the City's website for reference. (Amphitheater Rental Policy) Motion to amend the agenda to add discussion of the Amphitheater Rental Policy, made by Councilmember Barber seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 4-0 Operating Hours of the Amphitheater Mayor Pro Tem Alexander raised the issue of amphitheater operating hours in the context of the May 24 concert, during which inclement weather caused a delayed start and a hard cutoff at 11:00 PM, resulting in abbreviated performances. He proposed amending the noise ordinance to allow a midnight end time in cases of inclement weather or force majeure, an 11:30 PM limit for shows running late due to operational factors, with the standard 11:00 PM curfew remaining the default. Council discussion acknowledged competing interests between concertgoers, the City's fiscal responsibility, and the quality of life of nearby residents. Councilmember Barber opposed any extension of concert hours, citing the impact on homeowners in the surrounding district. Councilmember Berry expressed support for a compromise that would allow reasonable weather-related grace periods without significantly extending disruption to residents. City Attorney Megan McCulloch noted that any change would require formal enactment, including amendment of the noise ordinance and public notice, and confirmed she would prepare a more complete draft ordinance for a future meeting. No formal action was taken on this item. Amphitheater Rental Policy Councilmember Barber noted that the Council has never formally approved or adopted an amphitheater rental policy and moved to table the item to the next regular council meeting to 4|Page allow for a full presentation by the City Manager and amphitheater management staff. The motion to table resulted in a 2-0-2 vote (two in favor, two abstaining) and therefore failed. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander subsequently moved to adopt a temporary rental fee schedule as recommended by staff, to take effect immediately, with a full presentation from City Events staff and the City Manager at the next regular meeting for final action. Motion to adopt a temporary amphitheater rental fee schedule pending formal review at the next council meeting was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander and seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 3-1, with Councilmember Barber opposed. Executive Session Council convened to Executive Session for the purpose of discussing personnel matters. Motion to adjourn to Executive Session was made by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander and seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 4-0. Motion to end Executive Session was made by Councilmember Berry and seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 5-0.

Washington, City Attorney Page 4 of 4 Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule Policy Adoption & Market Alignment Council Presentation | April 2026 Events Department DECISION FRAME Policy objective: convert ad hoc rentals into a predictable business model A high-level rental structure must protect the public asset while remaining administratively simple. 1 2 3 4 Recover costs Reduce risk Protect asset Standardize terms Recommended Policy Position • Outside rentals should carry a defined base rate, scaled impact charges, actual cost recovery for City-required services, and limited public-benefit pricing pathways. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule DECISION CONTEXT Current State vs. Proposed State The proposed structure creates a consistent operating model and reduces case-by-case negotiation pressure. Current State Proposed State • Case-by-case rental discussions • Limited distinction between small and large events • City service costs can be difficult to isolate • Higher staff burden and inconsistent expectations • Standardized outside rental schedule • Attendance-based facility impact surcharge • Actual cost recovery for public safety and operations • Clear administrative authority and financial controls Strategic result: a defensible policy that protects taxpayers and makes expectations clear for external renters. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule PROPOSAL Recommended base rental fee schedule Base fee covers event-day facility use, standard utilities, and limited load-in/load-out. City-required services are billed separately. Rental Day Recommended Fee Policy Rationale Monday – Thursday $10,000 Lower-demand use window Friday $15,000 Weekend event demand Saturday $18,000 Premium event demand Sunday $17,500 Weekend demand with operational reset Important Clarification • The base rental fee is not intended to absorb police, EMS, fire marshal, traffic control, cleanup, or specialized event costs. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule FACILITY IMPACT SURCHARGE Scale fees with verified event impact Large private events should contribute proportionately to facility wear, sanitation demand, traffic burden, and operational support. Attendance / Footprint Surcharge Purpose Included Baseline impact covered by rental fee 2,001 – 3,500 attendees $3 per attendee Moderate impact scaling 3,501 – 5,000 attendees $5 per attendee High impact scaling 0 – 2,000 attendees Verification Standard • Attendance should be verified through ticketing data, settlement reports, or documentation acceptable to the City. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule FINANCIAL CONTROLS Cost recovery and risk controls should be nonOutside rentals should not shift private event costs onto taxpayers or internal operating budgets. negotiable City Services Billing Standard Deposits • Police / security • EMS / medical • Fire marshal, if required • Traffic control and barricades • Sanitation and cleanup • Actual cost + 15% administrative fee • Clear estimates provided in advance • Final reconciliation after event • 30% non-refundable reservation deposit • $10K–$25K security/damage deposit • Final payment due 14 days prior Policy Principle Cost recovery protects the City’s financial position without restricting legitimate third-party use of the facility. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule PRICING PROPOSAL Community & Non-Profit Access Creates an intentional public-benefit pathway while protecting baseline City costs. Weekday Rate Weekend Rate Eligibility Controls • $5,000 – $7,500 • Best suited for lower-impact community events • City services billed separately • $7,500 – $12,500 • Reflects higher demand and operational impact • Reduced deposit: $5K–$10K • 501(c)(3) or public-benefit documentation • City Manager approval • No automatic waiver of safety costs Policy Position: Balance community access with fiscal responsibility; reduced rental rates should not become an unfunded City subsidy. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule PROGRAMMING INCENTIVE Kids & Family Show Pricing Proposal Encourages daytime utilization and family-friendly programming without undermining the standard rental structure. Recommended Rate Attendance Treatment Operating Assumptions • Flat rental: $7,500 – $12,500 • Designed for youth and family-oriented programming • Earlier event hours encouraged • Surcharge waived up to 3,000 attendees • Standard surcharge applies above 3,000 • Verified attendance still required • Lower security footprint where appropriate • Family-focused event plan required • City services billed separately Strategic Benefit: Activates the venue beyond premium night concerts and expands access for families, youth organizations, and school-age audiences. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule MARKET COMPARISON Regional market context supports a structured municipal model Comparable venue data should be used as directional support, not as a one-for-one pricing match. Venue / Model Published or Reported Signal Implication for Stockbridge Mable House Barnes Commercial: greater of 10% gross or $3,200/day; cap noted Validates revenue-sensitive pricing for commercial rentals Wolf Creek Current rental page directs inquiries; 2019 model was $15K + $15/ticket Supports base fee + scaled impact concept $10K–$18K base + attendance surcharge More predictable, transparent, and administratively defensible Stockbridge Proposed Market Position Stockbridge should not underprice a premium public asset; the recommended model remains competitive while improving cost recovery and transparency. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule COMPARABLE VENUE SIGNAL Wolf Creek benchmark supports a scaled-fee approach Wolf Creek is a useful regional signal because it is a public-sector amphitheater with a large event footprint. 2019 Publicly Reported Model Current Public Information Stockbridge Application • $15,000 flat rental fee • $15 per ticket • Promoter responsible for security, concessions, ushers, and other needs • City of South Fulton rental page directs inquiries • Published current fee table not clearly posted • Use benchmark as directional context only • Use base rental fee for certainty • Use surcharge for event impact • Keep City service costs separate Bottom line: the strongest policy lesson is not the exact number—it is the structure: base fee + scaled use + separate service costs. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule FINANCIAL IMPACT Projected revenue logic The model improves predictability while allowing revenue to scale with actual event impact. Base Revenue Impact Revenue Cost Recovery • Guaranteed rental income by day of week • Protects the City even if attendance is lower than projected • Creates a minimum cost-recovery floor • Large events pay proportionately • Surcharge reflects wear, staffing pressure, sanitation, and traffic impact • Avoids one-size-fits-all pricing • Police, EMS, fire marshal, traffic control, cleanup • Actual cost + 15% administrative fee • Protects taxpayers from subsidizing private rentals Bottom Line: The City maintains competitive pricing while formalizing cost recovery, risk controls, and public-benefit access. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule IMPLEMENTATION Recommended Council action Adopt the fee schedule and authorize staff to administer the program consistently. Step Action Responsibility 1 Adopt the outside rental fee schedule Mayor and Council 2 Finalize application, agreement, and event checklist City Manager / Legal / Venue Staff 3 Apply deposits, insurance, service estimates, and final payment controls Venue Staff / Finance 4 Reconcile actual City service costs after each event Finance / Public Safety / Operations Recommended Motion Approve the Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule as presented and authorize the City Manager or designee to implement administrative procedures.

The purpose of this variance is to allow for reduction in existing lot setbacks.: • • • "A reduction in the required front-yard setback from 50 feet to 25 feet for the proposed construction of a new single-family residence." "A reduction in the required rear-yard setback from 40 feet to 20 feet for the proposed construction of a new single-family residence." Side-yard setback no change. Property and Project Description: The subject property is a residential lot, S20-.3003000 parcel within the Unified Development Code (UDC), specifically section 4.3.2. I am proposing to construct a new single-family residence. Justification for Variance: I believe this request meets the standard for a variance based on the following practical difficulties or unique circumstances associated with this specific property, as outlined in the City/Town zoning ordinance: 1. Unique Physical Circumstances: The property possesses unique conditions not generally found in the surrounding area, such as, an irregular lot shape, significant topographic constraints (steep slope, rock outcropping), an existing non-conforming structure, or unusual dimensions]. These conditions create a practical difficulty in complying with the strict application of the UDC standards for my intended use. 2. No Material Detriment: The requested variance will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. The proposed project, "will be consistent in scale, materials, and design with adjacent properties" or "will be screened from view and will not create noise, traffic, or privacy impacts". It will not be materially detrimental to nearby properties or to the public welfare. 3. Preservation of Property Rights: The strict application of the UDC regulations would result in an unnecessary hardship, depriving me of reasonable use of my property. The variance sought is the minimum necessary to achieve a reasonable use. 4. Consistency with UDC Intent: The variance, if granted, will allow a project that remains consistent with the broader purposes and intent of the Unified Development Code, which is to, "promote thoughtful development, enhance the streetscape, or support viable business operations". I have attached preliminary site plans, drawings, and photographs to illustrate the existing conditions and the proposed work. I am committed to working with your staff to ensure the project meets all other applicable codes and standards. I respectfully request that the Planning & Zoning Commission consider this variance request at your next available public hearing. I am available to answer any questions and to provide additional information as needed. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Jerry Robinson BAC Construction Inc. Owner Attachments: • • • • Site Plan Building Elevations/Renderings (if applicable) Photographs of Property Any other supporting documents Neighborhood Meeting Summary Date: April 23, 2026 Time: 6:30 PM Location: Trinity United Methodist Church, Wilson Ave, Stockbridge, GA 30281 Purpose: An informal meeting to inform community residents about a variance request and development proposal for a single-family residence. Attendees: • • • • Kenneth Bank (neighborhood spokesperson / host) Jerry Robinson (general contractor) Laura and Luis Gopar (property owners) Five community residents Meeting Overview: After introductions, Mr. Bank outlined the ground rules, keeping the discussion focused on a Q&A format to clarify the proposed land and structure use. He then invited me to explain the variance request. Variance Requests (from my letter of intent dated December 10, 2026, submitted to Planning & Zoning): • • Front setback: reduce from 50 ft to 25 ft Rear setback: reduce from 40 ft to 50 ft These variances are needed to allow construction of a proposed single-family residence. Resident Questions & Responses: 1. How do you plan to use the structure if the variance is approved? 2. Where do you currently live, and do you own your existing property? 3. Do you plan to rent the new structure or live in it? 4. Do you plan to rent your old home once the new one is built? 5. Did you know a variance would be required before submitting a building application? 6. What size house will be built? Does the requested setback accommodate that size? 7. Will the new house have any overhang? If so, can the footprint be reduced? 8. Have you considered buying the parcel to the rear of the lot? Will you accommodate future sidewalk implementation? All questions were answered to the attendees’ satisfaction. Concessions Requested by Residents: 1. Consider reducing the home’s footprint if feasible (discuss with Planning & Zoning). 2. Stake the actual house footprint, including setbacks and property line markings (to be completed by April 25). Owner’s Response: The property owner and I agreed to both requests. Conclusion: The meeting was cordial, respectful, and productive. All concerns were addressed, and everyone present agreed that the variance process could move forward.

(See the Proposed Site Plan.) Required Dwelling Size: At least 1,500 square feet in the SR district. Proposed Dwelling Size: 2,294 total square feet, with 1,370 heated square feet on the first floor and 924 square feet on the second floor. (See the Proposed Site Plan.) Required Setbacks: ~ They must be at least 50 feet in the front, 40 feet in the rear, and 10 feet on the sides. (See the Site Plan Enlargement #1.) ~ Due to the irregular shape and size of the property, the use of these setbacks would leave only a tiny, triangular area left to build the home on. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT (Slide #2) Proposed Setbacks: ~ Shown on the submitted site plan, prepared by BRC Land Services on 01/28/26. (See the Site Plan Enlargement #1.) ~ Proposed reduction of the front and rear yard setbacks by 50 percent each. ~ Variance Request #1—Reduce the front yard setback from the required 50 feet to 25 feet. (The new Building Line would be 25 feet, and the actual setback would be 27.31 feet.) ~ Variance Request #2—Reduce the rear yard setback from the required 40 feet to 20 feet. (The new Building Line would be 20 feet, and the actual setback would be 21.31 feet.) (See the Site Plan Enlargement #2.) ~ No variances are needed for the side yard setbacks, since they would be 12.97 feet, which is more than the required 10 feet. ~ The proposed footprint of the home is shown in the shaded area. Comparison of Required Versus Proposed Setbacks--The applicant’s proposed setbacks would significantly enlarge the available buildable area for constructing the proposed home. (See the Site Plan Enlargement #3.)

It states that a variance may be granted upon a finding that all seven of these criteria are met. Since both variance requests are for the reduction of setbacks rather than any other matter, they may be addressed together within each criterion below. A. Extraordinary and exceptional circumstances pertaining to the particular piece of property in question exist due its size, shape, or topography that are not found on other properties in the same zoning district; ~The subject property has an irregular shape and a very narrow depth. According to the applicant’s survey, the property has a frontage on Wilson Avenue of 519.81 feet, and its greatest depth of 119.81 feet is at the northern end of the property. ~ These dimensions differ significantly from those of most of the other lots along Wilson Avenue, which have an estimated average of 110 feet of frontage and a depth of 200 feet. The southern end of the subject property is only an estimated 15 feet deep. ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE REQUESTS (Slide #2) B. A literal interpretation of the provisions of this unified development code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other properties located in the same zoning district; ~ The required front yard setback is 50 feet in the SR district, and the required rear yard setback is 40 feet. ~ That means that there must be at least 90 feet of land area, from the front (at Wilson Avenue) to the rear, on which to build a house. ~ Since the deepest area at the northern end of the property has 119.81 feet, that would leave only 29.81 feet, from the front to the rear, on which to build a house. But the property tapers quickly to the south, leaving even less land area on which to build. ~The applicant’s site plan shows that only a tiny triangular-shaped area would be left on which to build the proposed house. ~ It would therefore not be possible to meet the setback requirements. ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE REQUESTS (Slide #3) C. Granting the variance requested will not confer upon the property owner any special privileges that are denied to other owners of property in the same zoning district; ~ The applicant wishes to construct a single-family dwelling on the subject property, just as most of the other properties within the surrounding neighborhood also have single-family dwellings. ~ Without the requested variances, it would not be physically possible to construct a dwelling. ~ Although the proposed house would have 2,294 total heated square feet, only 1,370 square feet would be located on the first floor, and the remaining 924 square feet would be on the second floor. The applicant therefore would be reducing the size of the first floor (the footprint of the house) in order to leave more land area for the front and rear yard setbacks. ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE REQUESTS (Slide #4) D. The variance will be consistent with the purposes and intent of this unified development code, will be compatible with uses on neighboring properties, and will serve the public welfare; ~ The subject property is located within the SR zoning district, which allows singlefamily detached dwellings. ~ The applicant’s proposed single-family detached dwelling would be compatible with the other single-family detached dwellings in the surrounding neighborhood. The development of the property would therefore represent a positive addition to the neighborhood. ~ Since a standard parking space is 20 feet long, the proposed front yard setback of 25 feet would allow any parked car on a driveway off Wilson Avenue to avoid protruding into the street, and no sidewalk is present on the east side of Wilson Avenue. ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE REQUESTS (Slide #5) E. The extraordinary circumstances are not the result of actions of the applicant; The applicant did not create the dimensions of the subject property, and the applicant has reduced the size of the footprint of the proposed home in order to not require even greater reductions in the front and rear yard setbacks. F. The variance is the minimum relief that will allow the legal use of the land, building or structure; and Due to the irregular dimensions and shape of the subject property, the requested variances appear to be the only possible relief to enable the property to be developed with a single-family detached dwelling as an allowable use. G. The variance is not a request to permit a use of land, buildings or structures that is prohibited in the same zoning district. The applicant proposes to build a type of use (a single-family detached dwelling) that is permitted within the property’s zoning district, Suburban Residential. STAFF CONCLUSION As a result of the foregoing analysis, the Planning and Zoning Staff has reached the conclusion that the applicant’s requests for front and rear yard setbacks are reasonable and should be granted for the following reasons: 1. The applicant proposes to develop an acceptable type of use on the property. 2. The irregular shape and dimensions of the property represent a significant hardship for developing the property, making it impossible to meet the required setbacks. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the Staff Conclusion above, the Planning and Zoning Staff therefore recommends the APPROVAL OF BOTH VARIANCE REQUESTS, with the following three conditions: 1. Size of Dwelling—The proposed single-family detached dwelling shall have at least 1,500 total square feet of heated space in order to meet the minimum required dwelling size within the SR district. 2. Site Plan--The proposed development shall be constructed according to a revised site plan that is very similar to the submitted one, entitled “0 Wilson Avenue”, which was prepared by BRC Land Services as Job No. 025-0024 on 01/28/2026 and revised on 02/24/2026. The revised site plan shall show a driveway in an acceptable location off Wilson Avenue, having a length that would not cause parked vehicles to protrude into the street. 3. Dwelling Facades—The facades of the dwelling shall be constructed of materials which comply with the requirements of the Stockbridge Unified Development Code. 1 TO: Stockbridge Mayor and City Council Stockbridge Planning Commission FROM: Linda M. Logan, Senior Planner, Planning and Zoning Division CC: Ryan Anderson, Community Development Director DATE: March 19, 2026 (Planning Commission Meeting) and April 13, 2026 & June 8, 2026 (City Council Meetings) SUBJECT: Staff Report for Variance Case #VR-2026-01 for Parcel #S2003003000 on Wilson Avenue (Council District 2) PURPOSE The applicant for Variance Case #VR-2026-01, Jerry Robinson of BAC Construction, Inc., proposes to construct a new single-family detached dwelling on Parcel #S20-03003000 on Wilson Avenue within the City of Stockbridge. The subject property is located in Land Lot 36 of District 12, and it has 0.613 +/- acres, according to the applicant’s submitted survey of the property. It is not located in any subdivision. The property is vacant and it has an elongated, tapered shape, as is shown by the aerial photograph. The property is bounded by Wilson Avenue to the west and Wilson Street to the south. The aerial photo and the submitted survey show the presence of a dirt driveway traversing the lower portion of the property. The driveway provides access to a house at 130 Wilson Avenue, which is a land-locked property. The current zoning of the property is SR (Suburban Residential), which has the following minimum required setbacks: 50 feet for the front yard setback, 10 feet for the side yard setback, and 40 feet for the rear yard setback. Because of the irregular shape and dimensions of the lot, the applicant has experienced difficulty in complying with the front and rear yard setbacks. The applicant has therefore requested two variances: ~ Variance Request #1--Request for a variance from Section 2.4.2 (B) of the Stockbridge Unified Development Code (UDC) to allow a reduction in the required front-yard setback from 50 feet to 25 feet for the proposed construction of a new single-family residence. ~ Variance Request #2--Request for a variance from Section 2.4.2.(B) to allow a reduction in the required rear-yard setback from 40 feet to 20 feet for the proposed City of Stockbridge, GA Community Dev.

Dept. / VR-2026-01 Staff Report / March 19, 2026 7 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The applicant proposes to build a new single-family detached dwelling on the subject property, which would be a permitted use within the SR (Single-Family Residential) zoning district. The new home would have 2,294 total heated square feet, including 1,370 square feet on the first floor and the remaining 924 square feet on the second floor. The home would be situated on the northern portion of the property, which has the largest area. Required Setbacks. In the SR district, the required setbacks are 50 feet for the front yard setback (from Wilson Avenue), 10 feet for the side yard setbacks, and 40 feet for the rear yard setback. The applicant’s proposed site plan on the next page shows these required setbacks and the first-floor footprint of the proposed home. The locations of the required setbacks would leave only a tiny, triangular-shaped area on which to build the home. The front and rear yard setbacks would both be substantially exceeded. This is shown by Site Plan Enlargement #1 on the following page, which shows the required setbacks. Proposed Setbacks. The applicant submitted a site plan, which was prepared by BRC Land Services on 01/28/26. It shows that, in order to have sufficient land area on which to build the proposed home, the applicant has proposed reducing the front and rear yard setbacks by 50 percent each. That is, the front yard setback would be reduced from the required 50 feet to 25 feet (the subject of Variance Request #1) and the rear yard setback would be reduced from the required 40 feet to 20 feet (the subject of Variance Request #2). Site Plan Enlargement #2 depicts these variance requests. The proposed footprint of the home is shown in the shaded area. The proposed new Building Lines of 25 feet and 20 feet, respectively, are shown, and the actual setbacks would be 27.31 feet in the front yard and 21.31 feet in the rear yard. The required 10-front side yard setbacks would be met; thus, no variance would be needed for the side yard setbacks. The side yard setback on the northern side of the home would actually be 12.97 feet. Comparison of Required Versus Proposed Setbacks. Site Plan Enlargement #3 shows both the required and the proposed setbacks for the front and rear yards. The applicant’s proposed setbacks would significantly enlarge the available buildable area for constructing the proposed home. City of Stockbridge, GA Community Dev.

Dept. / VR-2026-01 Staff Report / March 19, 2026 12 ANALYSIS OF VARIANCE REQUESTS The applicant has submitted a Variance application to request two variances, as are listed below, for the development of a proposed single-family dwelling on Parcel #S2003003000 on Wilson Avenue. In both variance requests, the applicant is seeking permission to forego compliance with a particular requirement within the Unified Development Code (UDC) regulations. Each variance request has been analyzed by the Planning and Zoning Staff and is discussed below. 1. Variance Request #1—Reduce the front yard setback from the required 50 feet to 25 feet. 2. Variance Request #2—Reduce the rear yard setback from the required 40 feet to 20 feet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ 10.1.3 - Criteria to be considered for deciding variances. A variance may be granted only upon a finding by the mayor and city council that all the following conditions are met: A. Extraordinary and exceptional circumstances pertaining to the particular piece of property in question exist due its size, shape, or topography that are not found on other properties in the same zoning district; B. A literal interpretation of the provisions of this unified development code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other properties located in the same zoning district; C. Granting the variance requested will not confer upon the property owner any special privileges that are denied to other owners of property in the same zoning district; D. The variance will be consistent with the purposes and intent of this unified development code, will be compatible with uses on neighboring properties, and will serve the public welfare; E. The extraordinary circumstances are not the result of actions of the applicant; F. The variance is the minimum relief that will allow the legal use of the land, building or structure; and G. The variance is not a request to permit a use of land, buildings or structures that is prohibited in the same zoning district. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________ City of Stockbridge, GA Community Dev. Dept. / VR-2026-01 Staff Report / March 19, 2026 13 Analysis of Variance Criteria Since both variance requests are for the reduction of setbacks rather than any other matter, they may be addressed together within each criterion below. A. Extraordinary and exceptional circumstances pertaining to the particular piece of property in question exist due its size, shape, or topography that are not found on other properties in the same zoning district; The subject property has an irregular shape and a very narrow depth. According to the applicant’s submitted survey, the subject property has a frontage on Wilson Avenue of 519.81 feet, and its greatest depth of 119.81 feet is at the northern end of the property. These dimensions differ significantly from those of most of the other lots along Wilson Avenue, which have an estimated average of 110 feet of frontage and a depth of 200 feet, according to the aerial photographs from the Henry County Tax Assessors’ website. The southern end of the subject property is only an estimated 15 feet deep. B. A literal interpretation of the provisions of this unified development code would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by owners of other properties located in the same zoning district; The required front yard setback is 50 feet in the SR district, and the required rear yard setback is 40 feet. That means that there must be at least 90 feet of land area, from the front (at Wilson Avenue) to the rear, on which to build a house. Since the deepest area at the northern end of the property has 119.81 feet, that would leave only 29.81 feet, from the front to the rear, on which to build a house. But the property tapers quickly to the south, leaving even less land area on which to build. The applicant’s site plan showing the required setbacks indicates that only a tiny triangular-shaped area would be left on which to build the proposed house. It would therefore not be possible to meet the setback requirements. C. Granting the variance requested will not confer upon the property owner any special privileges that are denied to other owners of property in the same zoning district; The applicant wishes to construct a single-family dwelling on the subject property, just as most of the other properties within the surrounding neighborhood also have single-family dwellings. Without the requested variances, it would not be physically possible to construct a dwelling. Although the proposed house would have 2,294 total heated square feet, only 1,370 square feet would be located on the first floor, and the remaining 924 square feet would be on the second floor. The applicant therefore would be reducing the size of the first floor (the footprint of the house) in order to leave more land area for the front and rear yard setbacks. City of Stockbridge, GA Community Dev. Dept. / VR-2026-01 Staff Report / March 19, 2026 14 D. The variance will be consistent with the purposes and intent of this unified development code, will be compatible with uses on neighboring properties, and will serve the public welfare; The subject property is located within the SR zoning district, which allows singlefamily detached dwellings. The applicant’s proposed single-family detached dwelling would be compatible with the other single-family detached dwellings in the surrounding neighborhood. The development of the property would therefore represent a positive addition to the neighborhood. Further, since a standard parking space is 20 feet long, the proposed front yard setback of 25 feet would allow any parked car on a driveway off Wilson Avenue to avoid protruding into the street, and no sidewalk is present on the east side of Wilson Avenue. E. The extraordinary circumstances are not the result of actions of the applicant; The applicant did not create the dimensions of the subject property, and the applicant has reduced the size of the footprint of the proposed home in order to not require even greater reductions in the front and rear yard setbacks. F. The variance is the minimum relief that will allow the legal use of the land, building or structure; and Due to the irregular dimensions and shape of the subject property, the requested variances appear to be the only possible relief to enable the property to be developed with a single-family detached dwelling as an allowable use. G. The variance is not a request to permit a use of land, buildings or structures that is prohibited in the same zoning district. The applicant proposes to build a type of use (a single-family detached dwelling) that is permitted within the property’s zoning district, Suburban Residential. STAFF CONCLUSION As a result of the foregoing analysis, the Planning and Zoning Staff has reached the conclusion that the applicant’s requests for front and rear yard setbacks are reasonable and should be granted for the following reasons: 1. The applicant proposes to develop an acceptable type of use on the property. 2. The irregular shape and dimensions of the property represent a significant hardship for developing the property, making it impossible to meet the required setbacks. City of Stockbridge, GA Community Dev. Dept. / VR-2026-01 Staff Report / March 19, 2026 15 VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Based on the Staff Conclusion above, the Planning and Zoning Staff therefore recommends the APPROVAL OF BOTH VARIANCE REQUESTS, with the following three conditions: 1. Size of Dwelling—The proposed single-family detached dwelling shall have at least 1,500 total square feet of heated space in order to meet the minimum required dwelling size within the SR district. 2. Site Plan--The proposed development shall be constructed according to a revised site plan that is very similar to the submitted one, entitled “0 Wilson Avenue”, which was prepared by BRC Land Services as Job No. 025-0024 on 01/28/2026 and revised on 02/24/2026. The revised site plan shall show a driveway in an acceptable location off Wilson Avenue, having a length that would not cause parked vehicles to protrude into the street. 3. Dwelling Facades—The facades of the dwelling shall be constructed of materials which comply with the requirements of the Stockbridge Unified Development Code. City of Stockbridge, GA Community Dev.

Consideration of an appeal of the completed Zoning Verification letter (ZVL) for two parcels at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road, including Parcel #047-0016001 with 2.64 acres and Parcel #029-02021005 with 10.88 acres. Applicant: Newton Galloway, Attorney. Property Owner: Samir Patel. The ZVL was completed on March 27, 2026, and the applicant filed the appeal on April 19, 2026. The City Council deferred this case at their May 11, 2026 meeting. Mr. Patel wants to build a gas station, a commercial building with several tenants, and townhomes on the property. The ZVL states that the property is zoned as PUD, but the applicant believes that it is still zoned as PTD (a PUD predecessor) and that it is still governed by a 2001 Development Agreement. PUD zoning requires a Special Use Permit for a gas station and convenience store, while the PTD zoning did not. The Planning Commission had approved the recombination of the two parcels into one parcel on February 27, 2020, but the applicant still has not submitted a copy of the recorded plat; yet, the site plan shows only one parcel.

INTRODUCTION The applicant for Appeal Case #AP-2026-01 has filed an appeal against a Zoning Verification Letter (ZVL) that was completed on March 27, 2026 for his property at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road (Parcel #047-01016001 and Parcel #028-02021005). The applicant / owner, Samir Patel, is represented by his attorney (the agent), Newton Galloway, who filed the appeal (SAGES Case #APPEAL2026.04.0885) on April 20, 2026. Mr. Galloway submitted his ZVL application on March 27, 2026 (SAGES Case #ZVL-2026.03.0757), and the ZVL was completed by the Planning & Zoning Staff on the same day. The completed ZVL stated that the property is zoned as PUD (Planned Unit Development), whereas Mr. Galloway sought confirmation that the property is zoned as PTD (Planned Town Development). Mr. Patel proposes to build a mixed-use development on the property, including a gas station, convenience store, additional retail tenants, and townhomes. Mr. Galloway contends that these uses are allowed under PTD, but the current Stockbridge Unified Development Code (UDC) requires that properties which are located within the PMU (Parkway Mixed-Use) Overlay District be approved for a Special Use Permit to allow for a gas station and convenience store. A. Applicant’s Requested Form of Relief. Attorney Galloway’s requested form of relief in his appeal application is as follows: Reissuance of the Zoning Verification Letter that confirms the zoning on the Subject Property is PTD pursuant to the Development Agreement for Pine 2 Grove Community, LLC, entered December 21, 2021, amended January 9, 2002. B. Applicant’s Justification for the Appeal. Mr. Galloway contends that the subject property is zoned as PTD (Planned Town Development), rather than PUD, on the basis of the approval of Rezoning Ordinance #01-105, which rezoned the property from RA (Residential-Agricultural) to PTD (Planned Town Development) on November 19, 2001 as part of a larger tract for the Pine Grove Community containing 149.47 acres. He also believes that the associated Development Agreement for Pine Grove, which was authorized by the adoption of Resolution #01-17 on the same date, still governs the subject property. The Development Agreement, which was adopted on December 21, 2001 and was amended on January 9, 2002, allowed for the adoption and development of a Master Plan to include commercial and residential development. Mr. Galloway stated that the subject property is located within an area of the Master Plan that was designated for commercial development, and that the applicant now wishes to build such commercial development. He further cited, below, Section 13 of the Development Agreement to justify its continued applicability, to the subject property; and stated that Section 8.36.050(2) of the PTD Ordinance allows gas stations as a permitted use; and stated that the layout of the buildings on the proposed site plan complies with what is shown on the Master Plan within the Development Agreement. All development regulations, guidelines, standards, rules, and conditions of the City of Stockbridge and Henry County in effect as of the date of this Agreement and the regulations, guidelines, standards, rules, and conditions of this Agreement shall control over any future changes in the City of Stockbridge and Henry County regulations, guidelines, standards, rules, and conditions. II. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY The subject property consists of two parcels at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road, as are shown by the two aerial photographs below. Samir Patel is the owner of both parcels, which are undeveloped. Parcel #047-01016001 to the east contains 2.64+/- acres and Parcel #028-02021005 to the west contains 10.88 +/- acres. The Stockbridge Planning Commission approved the recombination of the two parcels into one parcel, upon the applicant’s request, on February 27, 2020 (six years ago). However, the Henry County Tax Assessors’ records still show the property as consisting of two parcels. The Planning & Zoning Office has not received a copy of a recorded plat, which the Tax Assessors’ Office will need as a basis for updating their records to show the property as being only one parcel. The City’s current Zoning Map shows both parcels as being zoned as PUD, and they are located within the Parkway Mixed-Use (PMU) Overlay District. The table within Section 2.4.13(B) of the UDC lists the types of permitted retail and business uses in the PUD district as being any use that is permitted in the OI, C-1, and C-2 districts. Section 3 2.5.2(C)(1)(a) for the PMU Overlay District identifies gas stations as “select uses”, and Section 3.2.14 states that gas stations are a “special use” within the C-2 zoning district, although they are a permitted use in the C-3 zoning district. The parcels have the future land use designation of Low-Density Residential, which does not allow commercial uses.

On August 21, 2000, the subject property was annexed into the Stockbridge City Limits from unincorporated Henry County as part of a larger 14947+/- tract of land via Ordinance #200-00, and it was assigned the zoning district of RA (Residential-Agricultural) via Rezoning Ordinance #00-82. One year later, on November 19, 2001, the property was rezoned via Rezoning Case #RZ-01-26 and Ordinance #01105 from RA to PTD (Planned Town Development), with the requirement that a development agreement be prepared. Resolution #01-17 on the same date authorized the approval of an associated Development Agreement for the Pine Grove Community, which included a Master Development Plan. The agreement was made between the City of Stockbridge, property owners Edward H. Whiddon and Carole M. Whiddon, and the developer, China States Construction and Engineering Corporation, along with various other property owners. The Development Agreement specified various terms and conditions for the development of the property for a single-family residential component, a townhome component, and a commercial / retail component. Page 4 stated that the “validity and enforceability of this Agreement is conditional upon the City rezoning the Property to the zoning classification as follows: . . . [the] property . . . shall be rezoned from the R-A zoning classification to the PT (Planned Town Development zoning classification.” Further, Page 13 of the Development Agreement stated that the “rules, regulations and conditions of the Zoning Ordinance of the city shall apply to the acres of the Property designated commercial or retail within the Planned Town Development Classification.” Thus, it is important to note that the Development Agreement was prepared on the basis of the property being zoned as PTD, not PUD. Further, the existing two parcels comprising the subject property, in their current configurations, did not exist at the time of the rezoning of the parent property to PTD and the preparation of the Pine Gate Development Agreement. That means that the parcels were later subdivided from the parent property; thus, the PTD zoning, as well as the Pine Gate Development Agreement, no longer apply to the subject property. B. Events in 2019. On April 11, 2019, a Development Agreement for the Pine View Subdivision was approved by the Stockbridge City Council after the Pine View Subdivision had been “substantially developed” as a subdivided tract from the original Pine Grove Community. The agreement was made between the City and Drapac Group 32, LLC. It stated that Pine View was previously governed by the Development Agreement for Pine Grove under a Master Development Plan, but that “subsequent events” caused the Master Development Plan to be divided into “three separate” projects—Pine Grove, Pine View, and a Commercial Tract (including the subject property). With the adoption of the new Development Agreement for Pine View, Pine View was “released” from the control of the Pine Grove Development Agreement. However, the Pine Grove Development Agreement would remain “in full force and effect” for both the Pine Grove Community and the Commercial Tract, including the subject 8 property. However, as was stated above, since the subject property was rezoned in 2022 from PTD to PUD, and since the two parcels in their current configurations were subdivided from the original Pine Gate tract, the terms of the Pine View Development also no longer apply to the subject property. C. Events in 2020. On February 27, 2020, the Stockbridge Planning Commission approved the recombination of two parcels of land into one parcel for the owner of the subject property, Samir Patel. This included Parcel #047-01016001 with 2.64 +/- acres in Land Lot 100 of District 12 (located at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road) and Parcel #028-0202005 with 10.88 +/- acres in Land Lot 101 of District 12 (located at the southeast corner of Stagecoach Road and Woodall Road). The Planning & Zoning Division, however, has not received a copy of a recorded plat, and the Henry County Tax Assessors’ records still show the property as being two parcels rather than one. D. Events in 2021. Samir Patel had filed two applications to be heard by the Stockbridge Planning Commission on December 21, 2022. These included Comprehensive Plan Amendment Case #CP-2021-02 and Rezoning Case #RZ-2021-02. The applicant was represented by Sibley-Miller Surveying, the Agent. The purpose of CP-2021-02 was to change the subject property’s future land use designation from Low-Density Residential to Low-Density Vertical Mixed-Use, and the purpose of RZ-2021-02 was to allow the rezoning of the property from PTD to MUND (Mixed-Use Neighborhood Development) to allow for the development of a gas station, several commercial buildings, and a townhome community. However, the applicant withdrew both applications prior to the meeting, and the cases have not been revived since then. E. Events in 2022. On March 14, 2022, the Stockbridge City Council adopted a new Zoning Map and a new Overlay Districts Map, which included new zoning districts. The map adoptions coincided with the adoption of an updated Unified Development Code (UDC). One of the new zoning districts was the PUD (Planned Unit Development). One of the new zoning districts was the PUD (Planned Unit Development), which replaced the former PTD, MUNC, and TND districts. This caused the zoning of the subject property to change from PUD to PTD. F. Events in 2023. A pre-meeting was held in the Levi Conference Room of City Hall on December 4, 2023. Attending the meeting were the applicant, his attorney, the City Manager, and members of the Planning & Zoning Staff. G. Events in 2025. On June 18, 2025, the applicant submitted into SAGES (Case #SPEC-2025.06.0822) an application for a Special Use Permit for the purpose of requesting to build a gas station on the subject property. A survey and site plan were submitted, along with a Letter of Intent. H. Events in 2026. On March 27, 2026, the applicant applied for a Zoning Verification Letter (ZVL), and the ZVL was completed by the Planning & Zoning Staff on the same day. Then on April 20, 2026, the applicant filed an appeal. The appeal case, #AP-2026- 9 01, is scheduled to be heard by the City Council on May 11, 2026. IV. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT As part of the applicant’s Special Use Permit application, the applicant submitted a site plan that was prepared by Sibley-Miller Surveying & Planning, Inc. as Project #B202085, which was dated 8/28/2024 with the title, “Master Development Plan: Samir Patel; 13.524 Platted Acres.” It showed a proposed mixed-use development that would include a gas station, a retail building, a commercial building, and 35 townhomes within seven (7) buildings at the rear. A gas station and convenience store would be located in the center building, and there would be six (6) business spaces altogether. The convenience store would have approximately 5,000 square feet. Although the proposed site plan encompasses both of the applicant’s parcels, the applicant has submitted a survey of only the smaller parcel adjacent to East Atlanta Road (where the gas station and commercial uses would be built), and the application is only for the smaller parcel. However, the applicant must either build the gas station and commercial uses separately from the townhomes on the small parcel only, or the applicant must have a recombination plat recorded so that the two parcels can be combined to form one parcel and the proposed site plan for both the commercial and residential uses may be used for both parcels. The applicant makes the statements below in his Letter of Intent, which signifies his acknowledgement that the property is zoned as PUD, and that a Special Use Permit (formerly known as a Conditional Use Permit) would be required to build a gas station on the property. However, the applicant also stated his belief that his proposed retail and commercial uses, as well as the townhomes, are allowed by right under the existing PUD zoning, and that only the proposed gas station requires a special use permit (f.k.a. conditional use permit). “The Owner / Applicant seeks rezoning from PUD to C-2/Conditional zoning . . . “ “Both tracts are currently zoned PUD. The Owner / Applicant presented a development plan for both tracts under PUD zoning.” “Because the development will include a gas station, conditional use approval is required under either PUD or C-2.” 10 APPLICANT’S PROPOSED SITE PLAN V. THE P.U.D. (PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT) ZONING DISTRICT The City’s current PUD (Planned Unit Development) District was born on March 14, 2022 when the City adopted its new Unified Development Code (UDC), along with its new Zoning Map and Overlay District Map (which also merged other zoning districts), per Ordinance #OR22-497. At that time, changes were made to some of the existing zoning districts and new ones were added. Section 2.3 provides the following explanation: During the preparation of this new unified development code, some zoning districts were retained, some districts were converted to new districts or combined with other districts, some districts were eliminated, and new districts were added. Section 2.3(B) of the UDC provides the “City of Stockbridge Zoning District Conversion Chart”, which lists the previous zoning districts and the new zoning districts. A portion of the Chart is reproduced below. It shows that the PTD district, along with the MUND and TND districts, were merged to form the new PUD district. Thus, the PTD district no longer exists within the City of Stockbridge. 11 City of Stockbridge Zoning District Conversion Chart ______________________________________________________________________ Previous Zoning District Designation Zoning District Designation Under This Unified Development Code Three Mixed-Use Districts: New Mixed-Use District: PTD, Planned Town Development District MUND, Mixed-Use Neighborhood Dev. District TND, Traditional Neighborhood Development PUD-Planned Unit Development Section 2.4.14 of the UDC lists numerous requirements for PUD zoning. Among them are the following: 1. Area. The minimum area that is required for a PUD District shall be three (3) contiguous acres of land. 2. Uses. Each PUD final development plan must include at least two (2) different uses and / or two (2) types of varied housing options. F. PUD Master Development Plan Approval Request. A master development plan which incorporates the comments and modifications made by the community development department in its review of the preliminary concept plan shall be submitted with the application for rezoning. VI. COUNCIL ACTIONS ON OTHER PROPERTIES HAVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS In recent years, the Stockbridge City Council has been consistent in its treatment of properties that were subject to development agreements. For zoning modification cases, in which the applicants sought to make major changes to a previouslyapproved site plan but to maintain the same zoning district, the Council enforced or modified the terms of the existing development agreements. But for rezoning cases, in which the applicants sought to change the zoning of the property altogether, the Council gave the applicants a fresh start, free from the terms of the development agreements. Examples of these cases are listed below. Council Treatment of Zoning Modification Cases for Properties Whose Development Agreements Were Enforced or Modified: 1. ZM-2020-01 for Parcel #013-01019000 on Walt Stephens Road at Speer Road. The terms of a 1996 Development Agreement for Brentwood Subdivision (formerly Aberdeen Village) were enforced for this parcel, where Pulte Group proposed to build a mixed residential development on 155.2 acres. 12 2. ZM-2022-01 for Parcel #S07-01006005 on Brush Creek Court. The terms of the Brush Creek Commons Development Agreement from 2001 were modified to allow Pivotol Enterprises, LLC to build its proposed townhome development on this parcel within the existing MFR (Multiple Family Residential) zoning district on this parcel with 15.895 +/- acres. 3. ZM-2024-01 for Parcel #S07-01006005 on Brush Creek Court. The terms of the Brush Creek Commons Development Agreement from 2001 were further modified from the ZM-2022-01 approval to allow Pivotol Enterprises, LLC to build Phase 1 of its proposed townhome development on this parcel within the existing MFR (Multiple Family Residential) zoning district on this parcel with 15.895 +/- acres. Council Treatment of Rezoning Cases for Properties Whose Development Agreements Became Not Applicable: 1. RZ-2019-04 and RZ-2020-01 by TPA Residential for Parcel #032-01026000 on Hudson Bridge Drive. The terms of a Walmart Development Agreement and Master Plan for this parcel, which was annexed into the City of Stockbridge in 2002, were determined to be not applicable in rezoning this parcel, containing 20.367+/- acres, from C-2 to MUND to allow for a development with townhomes and commercial uses. The applicant withdrew its RZ-2019-04 application and returned to file RZ-2020-01 for a purely townhome development, but that application was denied by City Council. 2. RZ-2022-08 for Parcel #032-01026000 on Hudson Bridge Drive. The terms of The terms of a Walmart Development Agreement and Master Plan for this parcel, which was annexed into the City of Stockbridge in 2002, were determined to be not applicable in rezoning this parcel, containing 20.367+/- acres, from C-2 to MUND to allow Carter Acquisitions, LLC to rezone the property from C-2 to MFR to build an apartment community on 20.367+/- acres. 3. RZ-2024-01 for Parcel #032-01026000 on Hudson Bridge Drive. The terms of The terms of a Walmart Development Agreement and Master Plan for this parcel, which was annexed into the City of Stockbridge in 2002, were determined to be not applicable in rezoning this parcel, containing 20.367+/- acres, from C-2 to MUND to allow Lennar Georgia, LLC, to rezone the property from C-2 to MFR to build a townhome community on 20.367 +/- acres. 4. RZ-2023-05 for Three Parcels on Davidson Parkway at Walter Way. The terms of a 2003 Development Agreement with DRA Development for Northbridge Crossing were determined to be not applicable upon the rezoning of this property from C-3 to PUD to allow the applicant, D. R. Horton, Inc., to build a mixed-use development, Branford Crossing, on 78.864+/- acres. 13 VII. CONCLUSIONS Based on the foregoing information, the following conclusions are drawn for Appeal Case #AP-2026-01: 1. The subject property still consists of two parcels, even though the Planning Commission approved their recombination into one parcel. That is because the applicant apparently has not had the recombination plat recorded so that the Tax Assessors’ Office can update its property tax records. Yet, the applicant proposes building his proposed development over both parcels to include both the commercial and residential uses. His Special Use Permit application must therefore include a site plan for both parcels, even though the gas station would only be built on the smaller parcel. 2. The property’s future land use designation of Low-Density Residential does not allow commercial uses; thus, a Comprehensive Plan amendment would be needed. 3. The enforcement of the Development Agreement for the Pine Grove Community, as including the subject property (which was part of the commercial component), as well as the Development Agreement for the subsequent Pine View Subdivision, were based on the property being zoned as PTD, not PUD; thus, both Development Agreements no longer apply to the subject property. 4. The existing two parcels comprising the subject property, in their current configurations, did not exist at the time of the rezoning of the parent property to PTD and the preparation of the Pine Gate Development Agreement. That means that the parcels were later subdivided from the parent property. Thus, the PTD zoning and the Pine Gate Development Agreement no longer apply to the subject property. 5. Although the Development Agreement for the Pine View Subdivision, which was prepared after most of the Pine View Subdivision had been developed, stated that its terms are still in force for the remainder of the original Pine Grove property (including the subject property, representing the “Commercial Tract”), that was based on the property being remained zoned as PTD. 6. When the new Zoning Map and Overlay Map were adopted by City Council on March 14, 2022 via Ordinance #OR22-497, it included the new PUD zoning district, which replaced the former PTD zoning district (as well as the former MUND and TND zoning districts). Therefore, the PTD zoning district no longer exists. Further, the new Zoning Map showed the subject property as now being zoned as PUD. 7.The City Council has consistently enforced the terms of development agreements for properties whose applicants sought zoning modifications rather than rezonings for their properties, whereas the City Council has determined that development agreements for properties whose applicants sought to rezone their properties were no longer applicable. 14 8. In the applicant’s Special Use Permit Application, he acknowledges that the property is zoned as PUD. VIII. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS In view of the conclusions above, the Staff makes the following recommendations for Appeal Case #AP-2026-01: 1. DENIAL of the applicant’s appeal via AP-2026-01. 2. Confirmation of the accuracy of the Zoning Verification Letter that was prepared for the subject property on March 27 2026, which states that the subject property is zoned as PUD. 3. Confirmation that the Development Agreement for the Pine Grove Community, the Development Agreement for the Pine View Subdivision, and the PTD Ordinance all no longer apply to the subject property. 4. Confirmation that the applicant must take the following actions in developing the subject property if the proposed development project is to include a gas station, other commercial uses, and residential uses all within a combined site plan encompassing both parcels: a. Have a recombination plat recorded to enable the property to become one parcel. b. Apply for a Special Use Permit for the proposed gas station. c. Apply for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to assign a new future land use designation to the property to allow for both commercial and residential uses at the appropriate density.

NEW BUSINESS: 1. Recombination Plat for Property at the Southwest Corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road – Proposal to combine two existing parcels of land for the purpose of allowing a new mixed-use development project. The applicant is Samir Patel. The recombined tract of land would have 13.52 acres. The two parcels include the following: a. Parcel # 047-01016001 with 2.64 acres of land in Land Lot 100 of District 12 -Located at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road. b. Parcel # 028-0202005 with 10.88 acres of land in Land Lot 101 of District 12 – Located at the southeast corner of Stagecoach Road and Woodall Road. This case was presented by Linda Logan. She gave a visual PowerPoint presentation that she had prepared. It included slides which showed aerial views of the subject property, an identification of the boundaries of the two parcels, street views of the property from several directions, maps of the parcels, a list of project information, and conclusions. She also explained that the larger parcel is zoned ‘PTD’ and that the City is assigning the PTD zoning classification to the smaller parcel so that both parcels can have the same zoning, thereby allowing them to be combined. However, the property will need to be rezoned later to allow for the applicant’s proposed project. A representative of the applicant was present. He identified himself as George Harper of Paramount Engineering (located at 11 East Broad Street in Newnan, Georgia; 30263). He came to the podium and made a few comments. Shirley Wallace brought up the issue of possible negative impacts of the proposed development on the adjacent small cemetery to the south of the property. Ms. Logan said that that issue could be addressed during the consideration of any forthcoming rezoning application. A motion to approve the recombination plat application was made by Stanley Dumas and seconded by Harold Thibodeaux. The motion passed by a vote of 41, with Ms. Wallace voting in opposition.

The applicant / owner, Samir Patel, is represented by his attorney (the agent), Newton Galloway, who filed the appeal (SAGES Case #APPEAL-2026.04.0885) on April 20, 2026. Mr. Galloway submitted his ZVL application on March 27, 2026 (SAGES Case #ZVL-2026.03.0757), and the ZVL was completed by the Planning & Zoning Staff on the same day. The completed ZVL stated that the property is zoned as PUD (Planned Unit Development), whereas Mr. Galloway sought confirmation that the property is zoned as PTD (Planned Town Development). Mr. Patel proposes to build a mixed-use development on the property, including a gas station, convenience store, additional retail tenants, and townhomes. Mr. Galloway contends that these uses are allowed under PTD, but the current Stockbridge Unified Development Code (UDC) requires that properties which are located within the PMU (Parkway Mixed-Use) Overlay District be approved for a Special Use Permit to allow for a gas station and convenience store.

Attorney Galloway’s requested form of relief in his appeal application is as follows: Reissuance of the Zoning Verification Letter that confirms the zoning on the Subject Property is PTD pursuant to the Development Agreement for Pine Grove Community, LLC, entered December 21, 2021, amended January 9, 2002. B. Applicant’s Justification for the Appeal. Mr. Galloway contends that the subject property is zoned as PTD (Planned Town Development), rather than PUD, on the basis of the approval of Rezoning Ordinance #01-105, which rezoned the property from RA (Residential-Agricultural) to PTD (Planned Town Development) on November 19, 2001 as part of a larger tract for the Pine Grove Community containing 149.47 149.47 acres. He also believes that the associated Development Agreement for Pine Grove, which was authorized by the adoption of Resolution #01-17 on the same date, still governs the subject property. The Development Agreement, which was adopted on December 21, 2001 and was amended on January 9, 2022, allowed for the adoption and development of a Master Plan to include commercial and residential development. INTRODUCTION (Slide #3) Mr. Galloway stated that the subject property is located within an area of the Master Plan that was designated for commercial development, and that the applicant now wishes to build such commercial development. He further cited, below, Section 13 of the Development Agreement to justify its continued applicability, to the subject property; and stated that Section 8.36.050(2) of the PTD Ordinance allows gas stations as a permitted use; and stated that the layout of the buildings on the proposed site plan complies with what is shown on the Master Plan within the Development Agreement. All development regulations, guidelines, standards, rules, and conditions of the City of Stockbridge and Henry County in effect as of the date of this Agreement and the regulations, guidelines, standards, rules, and conditions of this Agreement shall control over any future changes in the City of Stockbridge and Henry County regulations, guidelines, standards, rules, and conditions. DESCRIPTION OF THE SUBJECT PROPERTY Location--Two parcels at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road, owned by Samir Patel: ~ Parcel #047-01016001 to the east contains 2.64+/- acres. ~ Parcel #028-02021005 to the west contains 10.88 +/- acres. Recombination of Parcels—Approved by the Planning Commission on February 27, 2020, but still shown as two parcels since a copy of a recorded plat has not been received by Staff, and Tax Assessors’ records have not been updated. Base Zoning--The current Zoning Map shows both parcels as being zoned as PUD. The table within Section 2.4.13(B) of the UDC lists the types of permitted retail and business uses in the PUD district as being any use that is permitted in the OI, C-1, and C-2 districts. Overlay District—The parcels also lie within the PMU (Parkway Mixed-Use) Overlay District, where Section 2.5.2(C)(1)(a) identifies gas stations as being “select uses”, and Section 3.2.14 states that gas stations are a “special use” within the C-2 zoning district, although they are a permitted use in the C-3 zoning district. Future Land Use Designation--Low-Density Residential, which does not allow commercial uses.

Events in 2000 and 2001. On August 21, 2000, the subject property was annexed into the Stockbridge City Limits from unincorporated Henry County as part of a larger 149-47+/- tract of land via Ordinance #200-00, and it was assigned the zoning district of RA (Residential-Agricultural) via Rezoning Ordinance #00-82. One year later, on November 19, 2001, the property was rezoned via Rezoning Case #RZ-01-26 and Ordinance #01-105 from RA to PTD (Planned Town Development), with the requirement that a development agreement be prepared. Resolution #01-17 on the same date authorized the approval of an associated Development Agreement for the Pine Grove Community, which included a Master Development Plan. The agreement was made between the City of Stockbridge, property owners Edward H. Whiddon and Carole M. Whiddon, and the developer, China States Construction and Engineering Corporation, along with various other property owners. HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY (Slide #2) The Development Agreement specified various terms and conditions for the development of the property for a single-family residential component, a townhome component, and a commercial / retail component. Page 4 stated that the “validity and enforceability of this Agreement is conditional upon the City rezoning the Property to the zoning classification as follows: . . . [the] property . . . shall be rezoned from the R-A zoning classification to the PT (Planned Town Development zoning classification.” Further, Page 13 of the Development Agreement stated that the “rules, regulations and conditions of the Zoning Ordinance of the city shall apply to the acres of the Property designated commercial or retail within the Planned Town Development Classification.” Thus, it is important to note that the Development Agreement was prepared on the basis of the property being zoned as PTD, not PUD. Further, the existing two parcels comprising the subject property, in their current configurations, did not exist at the time of the rezoning of the parent property to PTD and the preparation of the Pine Gate Development Agreement. That means that the parcels were later subdivided from the parent property; thus, the PTD zoning, as well as the Pine Gate Development Agreement, no longer apply to the subject property. HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY (Slide #3) B. Events in 2019. On April 11, 2019, a Development Agreement for the Pine View Subdivision was approved by the Stockbridge City Council after the Pine View Subdivision had been “substantially developed” as a subdivided tract from the original Pine Grove Community. The agreement was made between the City and Drapac Group 32, LLC. It stated that Pine View was previously governed by the Development Agreement for Pine Grove under a Master Development Plan, but that “subsequent events” caused the Master Development Plan to be divided into “three separate” projects—Pine Grove, Pine View, and a Commercial Tract (including the subject property). With the adoption of the new Development Agreement for Pine View, Pine View was “released” from the control of the Pine Grove Development Agreement. However, the Pine Grove Development Agreement would remain “in full force and effect” for both the Pine Grove Community and the Commercial Tract, including the subject property. However, as was stated above, since the subject property was rezoned in 2022 from PTD to PUD, and since the two parcels in their current configurations were subdivided from the original Pine Gate tract, the terms of the Pine View Development also no longer apply to the subject property. HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY (Slide #4) C. Events in 2020. On February 27, 2020, the Stockbridge Planning Commission approved the recombination of two parcels of land into one parcel for the owner of the subject property, Samir Patel. This included Parcel #047-01016001 with 2.64 +/acres in Land Lot 100 of District 12 (located at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road) and Parcel #028-0202005 with 10.88 +/- acres in Land Lot 101 of District 12 (located at the southeast corner of Stagecoach Road and Woodall Road). The Planning & Zoning Division, however, has not received a copy of a recorded plat, and the Henry County Tax Assessors’ records still show the property as being two parcels rather than one. HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY (Slide #5) D. Events in 2021. Samir Patel had filed two applications to be heard by the Stockbridge Planning Commission on December 21, 2022. These included Comprehensive Plan Amendment Case #CP-2021-02 and Rezoning Case #RZ-2021-02. The applicant was represented by Sibley-Miller Surveying, the Agent. The purpose of CP-2021-02 was to change the subject property’s future land use designation from Low-Density Residential to Low-Density Vertical Mixed-Use, and the purpose of RZ2021-02 was to allow the rezoning of the property from PTD to MUND (Mixed-Use Neighborhood Development) to allow for the development of a gas station, several commercial buildings, and a townhome community. However, the applicant withdrew both applications prior to the meeting, and the cases have not been revived since then. E. Events in 2022. On March 14, 2022, the Stockbridge City Council adopted a new Zoning Map and a new Overlay Districts Map, which included new zoning districts. The map adoptions coincided with the adoption of an updated Unified Development Code (UDC). One of the new zoning districts was the PUD (Planned Unit Development), which replaced the former PTD, MUND, and TND districts. This caused the zoning of the subject property to change from PUD to PTD. HISTORY OF THE PROPERTY (Slide #6) F. Events in 2023. A pre-application meeting was held in the Levi Conference Room of City Hall on December 4, 2023. Attending the meeting were the applicant, his attorney, the City Manager, and members of the Planning & Zoning Staff. G. Events in 2025. On June 18, 2025, the applicant submitted into SAGES (Case #SPEC-2025.06.0822) an application for a Special Use Permit for the purpose of requesting to build a gas station on the subject property. A survey and site plan were submitted, along with a Letter of Intent. H. Events in 2026. On March 27, 2026, the applicant applied for a Zoning Verification Letter (ZVL), and the ZVL was completed by the Planning & Zoning Staff on the same day. Then on April 20, 2026, the applicant filed an appeal. The appeal case, #AP2026-01, was heard by the City Council on May 11, 2026, and it was deferred to June 8, 2026 after the applicant submitted a large number of documents for review. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT (Slide #1) As part of the applicant’s Special Use Permit application, the applicant submitted a site plan that was prepared by Sibley-Miller Surveying & Planning, Inc. as Project #B202085, which was dated 8/28/2024 with the title, “Master Development Plan: Samir Patel; 13.524 Platted Acres.” It showed a proposed mixed-use development that would include a gas station, a retail building, a commercial building, and 35 townhomes within seven (7) buildings at the rear. A gas station and convenience store would be located in the center building, and there would be six (6) business spaces altogether. The convenience store would have approximately 5,000 square feet. Although the proposed site plan encompasses both of the applicant’s parcels, the applicant has submitted a survey of only the smaller parcel adjacent to East Atlanta Road (where the gas station and commercial uses would be built), and the application is only for the smaller parcel. However, the applicant must either build the gas station and commercial uses separately from the townhomes on the small parcel only, or the applicant must have a recombination plat recorded so that the two parcels can be combined to form one parcel and the proposed site plan for both the commercial and residential uses may be used for both parcels. PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT (Slide #2) The applicant makes the statements below in his Letter of Intent, which signifies his acknowledgement that the property is zoned as PUD, and that a Special Use Permit (formerly known as a Conditional Use Permit) would be required to build a gas station on the property. However, the applicant also stated his belief that his proposed retail and commercial uses, as well as the townhomes, are allowed by right under the existing PUD zoning, and that only the proposed gas station requires a special use permit (f.k.a. conditional use permit). “The Owner / Applicant seeks rezoning from PUD to C-2/Conditional zoning . . . “ “Both tracts are currently zoned PUD. The Owner / Applicant presented a development plan for both tracts under PUD zoning.” “Because the development will include a gas station, conditional use approval is required under either PUD or C-2.” APPLICANT’S PROPOSED SITE PLAN (Encompasses Both Parcels) THE P.U.D. DISTRICT (Slide #1) The City’s current PUD (Planned Unit Development) District was born on March 14, 2022 when the City adopted its new Unified Development Code (UDC), along with its new Zoning Map and Overlay District Map (which also merged other zoning districts), per Ordinance #OR22-497. At that time, changes were made to some of the existing zoning districts and new ones were added. Section 2.3 provides the following explanation: During the preparation of this new unified development code, some zoning districts were retained, some districts were converted to new districts or combined with other districts, some districts were eliminated, and new districts were added. THE P.U.D. DISTRICT (Slide #2) Section 2.3(B) of the UDC provides the “City of Stockbridge Zoning District Conversion Chart”, which lists the previous zoning districts and the new zoning districts. A portion of the Chart is reproduced below. It shows that the PTD district, along with the MUND and TND districts, were merged to form the new PUD district. Thus, the PTD district no longer exists within the City of Stockbridge.

District PUD, Planned Unit Development TND, Traditional Neighborhood Development ________________________________________________________________________ THE P.U.D. DISTRICT (Slide #3) Section 2.4.14 of the UDC lists numerous requirements for PUD zoning. Among them are the following: 1. Area. The minimum area that is required for a PUD District shall be three (3) contiguous acres of land. 2. Uses. Each PUD final development plan must include at least two (2) different uses and / or two (2) types of varied housing options. (in addition, the table within Section 2.4.13(B) lists the types of permitted retail and business uses as being any use that is permitted in the OI, C-1, and C-2 districts. F. PUD Master Development Plan Approval Request. A master development plan which incorporates the comments and modifications made by the community development department in its review of the preliminary concept plan shall be submitted with the application for rezoning. COUNCIL ACTIONS ON OTHER PROPERTIES HAVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS (Slide #1) In recent years, the Stockbridge City Council has been consistent in its treatment of properties that were subject to development agreements. For Zoning Modifications—Enforced or modified the development agreement terms: 1. ZM-2020-01 for Parcel #013-01019000 on Walt Stephens Road at Speer Road—Enforced the terms of a 1996 development agreement for Brentwood Subdivision, where Pulte Group proposed to build a mixed residential development on 155.2 acres in MFR. 2. ZM-2022-01 for Parcel #S07-01006005 on Brush Creek Court, Original—Modified the terms of the 2001 development agreement for Brush Creek Commons to allow Pivotol Enterprises to build a townhome development on 15.895 +/- acres in the MFR district. 3. ZM-2024-01 for Parcel #S07-01006005 on Brush Creek Court, Phase 1—Further modified the terms of the 2001 development agreement to allow Pivotol Enterprises to build Phase 1 of Brush Creek Commons. COUNCIL ACTIONS ON OTHER PROPERTIES HAVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS (Slide #2) For Rezonings—Gave a fresh start, free from the development agreement terms: 1. RZ-2019-04 & RZ-2020-01 for Parcel #032-01026000 by TPA Residential on Hudson Bridge Drive—The terms of a Walmart Development Agreement and Master Plan for this parcel, which was annexed into the City of Stockbridge in 2002, were determined to be not applicable in rezoning this parcel, containing 20.367+/- acres, from C-2 to MUND to allow for a development with townhomes and commercial uses. The applicant withdrew its RZ-2019-04 application and returned to file RZ-2020-01 for a purely townhome development, but that application was denied by City Council. 2. RZ-2022-08 for Parcel #032-01026000 on Hudson Bridge Drive—The same action was taken for Carter Acquisitions, LLC, who sought to rezone the property from C-2 to MUND to build an apartment community on 20.367 +/- acres. COUNCIL ACTIONS ON OTHER PROPERTIES HAVING DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENTS (Slide #3) For Rezonings—Gave a fresh start, free from the development agreement terms. 3. RZ-2024-01 for Parcel #032-01026000 on Hudson Bridge Drive—The same action was taken to allow Lennar Georgia, LLC to rezone the property from C-2 to MFR to build a townhome community on 20.367 +/- acres. 4. RZ-2023-05 for Three Parcels on Davidson Parkway at Walter Way. The terms of a 2003 Development Agreement with DRA Development for Northbridge Crossing were determined to be not applicable upon the rezoning of this property from C-3 to PUD to allow the applicant, D. R. Horton, Inc., to build a mixed-use development, Branford Crossing, on 78.864+/- acres. CONCLUSIONS (Slide #1) Based on the foregoing information, the following conclusions are drawn for Appeal Case #AP-2026-01: 1. The subject property still consists of two parcels, even though the Planning Commission approved their recombination into one parcel. That is because the applicant apparently has not had the recombination plat recorded so that the Tax Assessors’ Office can update its property tax records. Yet, the applicant proposes building his proposed development over both parcels to include both the commercial and residential uses. His Special Use Permit application must, therefore, include a site plan for both parcels, even though the gas station would only be built on the smaller parcel. CONCLUSIONS (Slide #2) 2. The property’s future land use designation of Low-Density Residential does not allow commercial uses; thus, a Comprehensive Plan amendment would be needed. 3. The enforcement of the Development Agreement for the Pine Grove Community, as including the subject property (which was part of the commercial component), as well as the Development Agreement for the subsequent Pine View Subdivision, were based on the property being zoned as PTD, not PUD; thus, both Development Agreements no longer apply to the subject property. 4. The existing two parcels comprising the subject property, in their current configureations, did not exist at the time of the rezoning of the parent property to PTD and the preparation of the Pine Gate Development Agreement. That means that the parcels were later subdivided from the parent property. Thus, the PTD zoning and the Pine Gate Development Agreement no longer apply to the subject property. CONCLUSIONS (Slide #3) 5. Although the Development Agreement for the Pine View Subdivision, which was prepared after most of the Pine View Subdivision had been developed, stated that its terms are still in force for the remainder of the original Pine Grove property (including the subject property, representing the “Commercial Tract”), that was based on the property being remained zoned as PTD. 6. When the new Zoning Map and Overlay Map were adopted by City Council on March 14, 2022 via Ordinance #OR22-497, it included the new PUD zoning district, which replaced the former PTD zoning district (as well as the former MUND and TND zoning districts). Therefore, the PTD zoning district no longer exists. Further, the new Zoning Map showed the subject property as now being zoned as PUD. CONCLUSIONS (Slide #4) 7. The City Council has consistently enforced the terms of development agreements for properties whose applicants sought zoning modifications rather than rezonings for their properties, whereas the City Council has determined that development agreements for properties whose applicants sought to rezone their properties were no longer applicable. 8. In the applicant’s Special Use Permit Application, he acknowledges that the property is zoned as PUD. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS (Slide #1) In view of the conclusions above, the Staff makes the following recommendations for Appeal Case #AP-2026-01: 1. DENIAL of the applicant’s appeal via AP-2026-01. 2. Confirmation of the accuracy of the Zoning Verification Letter that was prepared for the subject property on March 27 2026, which states that the subject property is zoned as PUD. 3. Confirmation that the Development Agreement for the Pine Grove Community, the Development Agreement for the Pine View Subdivision, and the PTD Ordinance all no longer apply to the subject property. STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS (Slide #2) 4. Confirmation that the applicant must take the following actions in developing the subject property if the proposed development project is to include a gas station, other commercial uses, and residential uses all within a combined site plan encompassing both parcels: a. Have a recombination plat recorded to enable the property to become one parcel. b. Apply for a Special Use Permit for the proposed gas station. c. Apply for a Comprehensive Plan amendment to assign a new future land use designation to the property to allow for both commercial and residential uses at the appropriate density. J a yd en L .

Based on the City of Stockbridge’s official zoning map, the subject properties are zoned as PUD (Planned Unit Development) and falls within the PMU (Parkway Mixed Use) Overlay District, which supersedes the PUD designation in the event of any conflict. Further information about the PUD and PMU districts, including a list of all permitted and special uses, can be found on Pages 50 and 59, respectively, of the Stockbridge Unified Development Code (UDC), or at the link above. Under current zoning regulations, two of the three proposed uses, i.e., convenience stores and gasoline service centers, are allowable on the properties of interest, provided that the applicant receives a special use permit for each proposed use pursuant to Section 3.2.14. of the Stockbridge UDC. Furthermore, the proposed use of a shopping center development allows any retail or commercial use permitted in either the C1 (Neighborhood Commercial), C2 (General Commercial), or OI (Office Institutional) Districts, subject the conditions listed under the PMU Overlay District. For a succinct summary of generally allowable uses for each zoning district, please see Section 3.1. of the Stockbridge UDC. Please note that this letter serves only as a verification of compatible zoning, and it is possible your use may require meeting additional State and local regulations before obtaining a business license. Further requirements may be needed to approve the use at this location, such as permits from agencies, including, but not limited to, the State of Georgia Department of Community Health, Fire Inspection, etc. This zoning verification excludes other information which may apply to the subject property, such as grandfathered uses without a City Council ruling; official interpretations by any entity or official other than the City Council; variances, interpretations, and conditional uses granted by any entity or official other than the City Council; special restrictions on certain uses within the general zoning ordinance; setbacks, buffers, and construction standards in the general zoning ordinance; and requirements and restrictions imposed in the general zoning ordinance by any overlay district. Please note that zoning codes and regulations are subject to change.

Respectfully, Brennen Reilly, GIS Analyst/Planner II https://stockbridgega.org/departments/community-development JUNE 8, 2026 ✔ Ryan Anderson Community Development APPEAL CASE #AP-2026-01. Consideration of an appeal of the completed Zoning Verification letter (ZVL) for two parcels at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road, including Parcel #047-0016001 with 2.64 acres and Parcel #029-02021005 with 10.88 acres. Applicant: Newton Galloway, Attorney. Property Owner: Samir Patel. The ZVL was completed on March 27, 2026, and the applicant filed the appeal on April 19, 2026. The City Council deferred this case at their May 11, 2026 meeting. Mr. Patel wants to build a gas station, a commercial building with several tenants, and townhomes on the property. The ZVL states that the property is zoned as PUD, but the applicant believes that it is still zoned as PTD (a PUD predecessor) and that it is still governed by a 2001 Development Agreement. PUD zoning requires a Special Use Permit for a gas station and convenience store, while the PTD zoning did not. The Planning Commission had approved the recombination of the two parcels into one parcel on February 27, 2020, but the applicant still has not submitted a copy of the recorded plat; yet, the site plan shows only one parcel. Staff Recommendation: Denial. ✔ $0.00 APPEAL CASE #AP-2026-01. DENIAL. MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN CITY OF STOCKBRIDGE AND HENRY COUNTY, GEORGIA THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (“MOU”) is made and entered into this ________ day of ______________, 2026 (“Effective Date”), by and between the City of Stockbridge, Georgia, a municipality established under the Laws of the State of Georgia (“City”) , and Henry County, Georgia, a political subdivision of the State of Georgia (“County”), known collectively as the “Parties,” and clarifies the roles and responsibilities of the Parties regarding the public transit service along the fixed route. WHEREAS, County, acting by and through its Henry County Transit Department, is introducing public transit service along a fixed route from McDonough to Stockbridge with defined stops for passengers to load and unload (See Exhibit “A,” Fixed Route Map, attached hereto and incorporated herein); and WHEREAS, the service will travel along various streets owned by the City; and WHEREAS, such service will require signs delineating the bus stops to be placed within the City-owned right-of-way; and WHEREAS, the City desires such services for the use of its citizens, and desires to assist the County with the placement of bus stop signs. NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and the covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows: I. Purpose This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) is intended to provide a framework for cooperation between County, acting through its Henry County Transit Department, and the City in locating bus stop signs within right-of-way owned by the City where required to provide fixed route transit service. Per City of Stockbridge Title 12 – Unified Development Code, Chapter 4 Development Standards, Section 4.8.22 – Encroachment on public rightsof-way, structures are prohibited in the City-owned right-of-way. This MOU serves as an agreement between the City and the County to allow bus stop signs in city owned rights-ofway. II. Background The City of Stockbridge Title 12 – Unified Development Code, Chapter 4 Development Standards, Section 4.8.22 – Encroachment on public rights-of-way states the following: No building, structure, fence, service area, parking facility/area, loading area, except driveways shall be permitted to encroach on public-right-of-way. All permanent structures or inorganic objects that are placed near, but not within the right-of-way, shall be located as to not obstruct, hinder, or impede the view or movement of pedestrian and vehicular traffic as to become a nuisance, danger or hazard to the public. It is a standard transit industry practice to place bus stop signs within public right-of-way to identify designated transit locations and alert motorist awareness of transit activity and anticipate stops. Additionally, permanent signs increase safety during boarding and disembarking. Therefore, County is requesting a variance from the City to install bus stop signs within City-owned rights-of-way. III. Roles and Responsibilities County or their designated contractor(s) will be responsible for: • • • Fabrication of all bus stop signs Installation of all bus stop signs as to not obstruct, hinder, or impede the view or movement of pedestrian and vehicular traffic as to become a nuisance, danger or hazard to the public Ongoing maintenance of all bus stop signs Henry County Transit will design and install all bus stop signs in compliance with the Atlanta Regional Commission Regional Unified Bus Stop Signage Installation Plan Set, dated March 2018. City will be responsible for: • IV. Permitting Henry County Transit to install bus stop signs in city owned right-of-way Term The term of this MOU shall be from the Effective Date of this MOU, as stated above, until such time as the fixed route transit service, as contemplated in Exhibit “A,” ceases to operate. However, this MOU shall automatically renew on an annual basis on the anniversary date of this MOU. V. Termination This MOU shall automatically terminate upon the cessation of the fixed route transit service, as contemplated in Exhibit “A.” VI. Notices All notices, demands and request which may be required to be given by one Party to the other shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been properly given when postage sent prepaid by registered and certified mail (with return receipt requested) addressed as follows: VII.

Such changes are mutually agreed upon by and between the Parties and shall be incorporated in written amendments to this MOU executed in the same manner as original MOU approval. VIII. Governing Law This MOU shall be governed by the laws of the State of Georgia. IX. Waiver and Enforceability In the event that the terms and conditions of this MOU are not strictly enforced by either party, such non-enforcement will not act as or be deemed to act as a waiver or modification of this MOU, nor will such non-enforcement prevent such party from enforcing each and every term of this MOU thereafter. If any term or provision of this MOU is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this MOU will be considered valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. X. Entire Agreement This MOU constitutes the final agreement between the parties. It is the complete and exclusive expression of the parties’ agreement on the matters contained in this MOU. All prior and contemporaneous negotiations and agreements between the parties on the matters contained in this MOU are expressly merged into and superseded by this MOU. The provisions of this MOU cannot be explained, supplemented or qualified through evidence of trade usage or a prior course of dealings.

All councilmembers were present and a quorum was established.

ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES Approval of the Work Session Summary Minutes April 28, 2026 Approval of the City Council Summary Minutes April 13, 2026 Approval of the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes Day 1 – March 4, 2026 Approval of the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes Day 2 – March 5, 2026 Approval of the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes Day 3 – March 6, 2026 1|P a ge Before the vote, Councilmember Barber requested two amendments to the meeting minutes. The first addressed the Planning Retreat minutes of March 4, 2026, which she stated did not reflect her discussion regarding the use of parking meters during the city's concerts and other events. The second pertained to the April 28, 2026 Work Session minutes, which she stated did not capture her final comments during the vote on the Flock LPR/PTZ camera item, specifically, that supporting documents and the contract had not been provided to council prior to or during that meeting. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander clarified for the record that there was no council consensus to implement paid parking meters downtown, though he had no objection to reflecting that Councilmember Barber raised the topic. Councilmember Barber emphasized that she was requesting reflection of the topics she raised, not a record of any vote or consensus. Councilmember Gantt noted that the full discussion—including any rebuttal regarding whether documents were or were not provided—should also be reflected in the minutes in totality. Motion to amend the minutes to include Councilmember Barber's comments from the March 4, 2026 Planning Retreat and the April 28, 2026 Work Session, along with all related council discussion, was made by Councilmember Barber and seconded by Councilmember Berry. The motion passed 5–0. Motion to approve the Work Session Summary Minutes for April 28, 2026; the City Council Summary Meeting Minutes for April 13, 2026; and the Planning Retreat Summary Minutes for Day 1 through Day 3 (March 4–6, 2026), inclusive of the revisions made by Councilmember Barber was made by Councilmember Gantt; seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 5–0. PUBLIC COMMENTS Six people presented Public Comments: Audrey Holmes (206 Hunting Court, Spivey Ridge) described the impact of construction activity on neighboring residents, noting that heavy machinery operated directly at the property line with no advance notice to homeowners, removing the tree line that had previously provided privacy and visual screening. She expressed a sense of disrespect as a taxpaying resident and requested that a security boundary be established between the construction site and the subdivision. Linda Stanley (7940 Christian Court, Lake Spivey) expressed that she no longer felt safe or at peace in her home of nearly 31 years, citing strangers traversing her yard. She requested that the city provide a resolution to restore safety and peace to the subdivision. 2|P a ge Evelyn Dixon (267 Spivey Ridge Circle, Lake Spivey) acknowledged and thanked the council for its prior communication regarding the postponement of a town hall meeting on the Tranquil Trails development and for providing a FAQ document. However, she stated that several important questions remained unaddressed, particularly regarding what she characterized as a substantial modification from the 2022 conceptual plan— specifically, the increase from four to six apartment buildings. While acknowledging that the total unit count reportedly remained unchanged, she argued that more buildings represented a material design revision with implications for density, site layout, traffic flow, green space, buffer placement, and parking. She formally requested clarification, updated impact assessments, and supporting documentation to be provided before the rescheduled town hall. Mike Adams (224 Hunting Court, Lake Spivey) presented a visual slideshow showing before-and-after photographs of the tree buffer behind his property. He documented the clear-cutting of mature trees up to and reportedly in some cases over the property line by construction equipment. He shared a quote from a Facebook post attributed to a community page stating that the developer would be required to replant the mandated buffer with trees and install a fence along the property line, and expressed hope that this would be enforced. Cathy Walker (200 Hunting Court, Lake Spivey) addressed what she described as a pattern of transparency and accountability failures. She referenced the city's own FAQ document, which she said identified changes between the 2022 approval and current construction involving building count, site layout, parking, stormwater systems, amenities, commercial relocation, and the removal of townhomes from the original concept. She stated that substantial and major modifications to approved zoning conditions require review and approval by the mayor and council before permits are issued, and questioned whether this process had been followed and who approved the changes. She also raised concerns about the last-minute scheduling and cancellation of the town hall meeting and called for consistent, direct communication from elected officials—particularly the District 1 councilmember whose constituents are directly affected. Kay Adams (224 Hunting Court, Lake Spivey) appealed to the council on behalf of longterm homeowners, asking that they consider the impact of the development on property values. She expressed a preference for owner-occupied housing over rental units, citing differences in investment and stewardship. She raised specific concerns about trash dumpster placement near the residential fence line and strongly requested a substantial buffer—not minimal landscaping, but multiple rows of fast-growing, mature trees—to restore the visual and practical separation that existed before construction. QUARTERLY REPORTS – BOARDS & COMMITTEES Downtown Development Authority Quarterly Report – 1st Qtr. 2026 Warren Washington, Vice Chair of the Downtown Development Authority (DDA), presented the first quarter 2026 report. He reports financially, the DDA maintained stable balances across its three primary accounts. 3|P a ge The operating account recorded $15,000 in inflows with controlled expenses, the project account maintained a balance exceeding $145,000 after a $15,000 strategic transfer to support operations, and the facade grant account had approximately $18,000 in grantrelated outlays supporting local business improvements. On the governance side, the DDA advanced the process of securing legal counsel, improved compliance procedures, and continued board training. The DDA is also developing a new internal grant program to expand facade improvement support to all downtown businesses— both exterior (up to $15,000) and interior (an additional $15,000 or more). Key project initiatives included preparations to bring a formal request to council for a Daddy King statue and related cultural identity anchors in downtown, efforts toward downtown boundary expansion, alleyway redevelopment, streetscape improvements, and coordination on major city-led investments including the amphitheater, a STEM school, and roadway enhancements. Mayor Pro Tem Alexander commended the DDA and highlighted the progress towards the revitalization of the MLK Senior corridor, citing new businesses including ABA Therapy, Downtown Social, and a new clothing retailer as evidence of forward momentum. Councilmember Barber asked about the timeline for the downtown boundary expansion vote, and Mr. Washington indicated it should occur by the next council meeting. Councilmember Barber specifically requested that Stockbridge Lakes Bed and Breakfast be added to the boundary expansion map. Mr. Washington acknowledged this was the first time the matter had been brought to the DDA's attention, and Councilmember Barber directed City Manager Edmondson and Mr. Anderson to ensure the property is included. Citywide Development Authority Quarterly Report – 1st Qtr. 2026 No representative was present to deliver this report. Youth Council Quarterly Report – 1st Qtr. 2026 The Stockbridge Youth Council (SYC) quarterly report was presented by Mackenzy Edwards (Mayor Pro Tem, SYC; Eagles Landing High School), Houleymatou Diallo (Member at Large, Dutch Town High School), and Sharika Zellers (Advisory Committee Student Liaison). The council reported on a full slate of first-quarter activities centered on the 2026 initiative theme of "well-being," encompassing social, physical, mental, and spiritual health. Activities included an MLK Day of Service cleanup with Mayor Pro Tem Alexander on Campground Road, a Winter Wonderland Teen Skate Night with over 300 student participants, a leadership retreat in February focused on brand-building and entrepreneurship, participation in the Shades of Melanin African American History Celebration, a community breakfast with the Stockbridge Police Department aimed at bridging the gap between teenagers and law enforcement, participation in the A.D. King 4|P a ge March to Selma representing the City of Stockbridge alongside students from other counties and Atlanta University Center institutions, and the third annual Youth Entrepreneurship Expo held at the Merle Manders Conference Center with over 50 youth vendors. The SYC reported a starting budget of $31,900 for the year, with $17,832.81 remaining as of the report date, accounting for expenditures through the period including the police dinner in April and upcoming costs for the senior banquet and awards ceremony. Remaining planned expenditures include beautification activities, health and wellness initiatives through the summer, and a school supply drive in July. Councilmember Gantt commended the SYC for its activity level and encouraged the council to explore fundraising to support attendance at the National League of Cities (NLC) conference, noting that other youth councils have done so, sometimes with contributions from participating families. Mrs. Zellars noted that fundraising for NLC travel is already being discussed and that with the budget now supporting growth from 15 to 20 student members, recruitment and fundraising will be major focuses in the upcoming school year. Mayor Williams praised the SYC's representation at the AD King trip, highlighting that the staff at the AD King Foundation commended Stockbridge's scholars as among the best who attended. CEREMONIAL REVIEW Mayor Pro Tem Alexander read and presented the following proclamations on behalf of the City of Stockbridge. National Public Works Week Proclamation; Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month Proclamation. Mayor Williams also noted that the City of Stockbridge won the competition against Jonesboro as part of the "Move with Mayor" Initiative. NEW BUSINESS Appeal Case #AP-2026-01 (Council District 4) Consideration of an appeal of the completed Zoning Verification Letter (ZVL) for two parcels at the southwest corner of East Atlanta Road and Stagecoach Road, including Parcel #047-01016001 with 2.64 acres and Parcel #028-02021005 with 10.88 acres. Applicant/Property Owner: Samir Patel. Agent: Newton Galloway, Attorney. Community Development Director Ryan Anderson presented the staff report. He explained that the applicant's attorney, Newton Galloway, filed a ZVL application on March 27, 2026, and the same day staff confirmed the zoning on the subject property as PUD (Planned Unit Development). The applicant contends the property is zoned PTD (Plan Town Development) based on a 2001 rezoning ordinance and an associated development agreement for the Pine Grove community. The applicant's intent is to develop a mixed-use project including a gas station/convenience store, additional retail, and townhomes. 5|P a ge Staff's position is that the PTD designation was effectively replaced when the city adopted a new Unified Development Code (UDC) and zoning map in March 2022, converting all PTD-, MUD-, and TND-zoned properties to the new PUD classification. Under PUD, a gas station is a special use requiring council approval; under PTD, the applicant contends it would be permitted by right. Mr. Anderson detailed a complex 26-year history of the property, including its 2000 annexation, its 2001 rezoning to PTD with an associated development agreement, the applicant's purchase in 2018, a 2020 Planning Commission approval of a recombination plat that was never recorded, multiple applications filed and withdrawn or stalled since 2021, and the 2022 UDC rewrite that reclassified the property to PUD. He noted that in 2025 the applicant himself submitted a special use permit application acknowledging PUD zoning, which staff viewed as an admission consistent with staff's current position. Staff's recommendation was denial of the appeal, confirmation that the property is zoned PUD, confirmation that the Pine Grove development agreement no longer applies, and direction that the applicant must record the recombination plat, apply for a special use permit for the gas station, and file a comprehensive plan amendment before the project may proceed. Attorney Newton Galloway presented on behalf of the applicant, tendering a 567-page evidentiary record to the clerk for inclusion in the official record. He argued the matter is a quasi-judicial proceeding under OCGA 36-66-3-1.2 and the city's UDC Section 10.30.1. He contended that the 2001 development agreement—recorded in Henry County Superior Court records and binding on successors—vests the property in PTD zoning and controls over any subsequent changes to city regulations by virtue of its own terms (Section 13, "Future Changes in Development Standards"). He argued the agreement contained no termination date, was expressly amended as late as 2019 when the city itself used the agreement to release the Pine View residential tract while explicitly preserving the agreement's force as to the commercial tract. He stated the commercial tract was never notified of the 2022 rezoning, that no party speaking for the commercial tract consented to the Pine View amendment, and that the development agreement remained in the chain of mister Patel's title. Attorney Galloway also recounted a lengthy history of applications dating to 2020 that, in his characterization, had never been brought forward to the council for a vote, and questioned whether the council was aware any of these applications had been pending. He acknowledged that at various points his client filed for a special use permit under PUD but stated this was done in good faith to try to move the project forward after being told the development agreement was void—a characterization he disputes. Councilmember Gantt raised the point that due to the volume of materials presented she would seek to table the item pending review by legal counsel. 6|P a ge Attorney Galloway stated he had no objection to tabling to the next regular council meeting. Motion to table Appeal Case #AP-2026-01 to the next regular council meeting to allow council and legal counsel time to review the submitted documentation was made by Councilmember Gantt and seconded by Councilmember Cloud. The motion passed 4–0–1. Councilmember Barber abstained. Council Consideration For A Resolution Establishing A Council Voting Member As Intergovernmental Representative Councilmember Gantt presented a resolution to formalize the appointment of a voting council member as a liaison and representative at intergovernmental meetings, mediations, litigation proceedings, and other significant external meetings where city interests are negotiated. She explained the policy is not uncommon among municipalities and is consistent with how the city has already been operating such as with Mayor Pro Tem regularly attending such meetings alongside the mayor, but to ensure that a voting member of the governing body is always present and able to bring discussions back to the full council a resolution should be in place. She emphasized that the representative would not have independent authority to vote or make binding decisions on behalf of the council but would serve as an informed liaison. Mayor Williams sought clarification on whether this function was simply the existing role of the Mayor Pro Tem. Councilmember Gantt explained it extends beyond that position so that any voting council member may serve in the role when the Mayor Pro Tem is unavailable. Councilmember Barber objected and questioned each council members asking if they had been involved in directing legal counsel to draft the resolution and noting she had not been included in the discussions. She expressed concern that the resolution was another effort to diminish the authority of the mayor, stating that in her tenure since January 2020, the mayor had always served as the city's representative in intergovernmental matters. She further noted she is the only council member not currently serving as a liaison to any board. Councilmember Gantt responded that the resolution was based on needs arising from experience, including instances where a non-voting staff member had been sent in place of an elected official, and cited several past situations including litigation/mediation, SPLOST/LOST negotiations with other counties and cities that require negotiation as examples where this policy would have applied. Gantt reiterated that the resolution is standard municipal practice and is consistent with the council's city manager–council form of government. 7|P a ge Clarifying that the liaison has mandatory attendance requirements and the liaison can be appointment by a majority council vote each time. Motion to approve the Resolution of the Mayor and City Council of the City of Stockbridge appointing a council member to serve as City Intergovernmental Representative, establishing duties, authorities, and reporting requirements of such representative, and for other lawful purposes was made by Councilmember Gantt and seconded by Mayor Pro Tem Alexander. The motion passed 4–1-0. Councilmember Barber opposed.

Aaron Public Works Council consideration to amend the contract with Dianna Hunt & Associates, Inc. to provide acquisition services for approximately 43 parcels in connection with the Tye Street Muti-Use Path Project right-of-way acquisitions. The contract amendment will increase the contract from $40,000.00 to $107,500.00. Funding for this contract amendment is available in TSPLOST Account Number 335- 42200-541404. The vendor submitted a per-parcel fee of $2,500 for acquisition services, totaling approximately $107,500 based on an estimated 43 parcels. Additional services, such as data book preparation, title work, and appraisals, were not included in this amount and were provided only as optional or supplemental services if requested by the City. The consultant’s proposal was reviewed appropriately; however, during preparation of the agenda item summary, the pricing structure was simplified in a manner that combined the base acquisition services with separate, optional cost components. As a result, an incorrect estimated total was presented. ✔ $67,500.00 Consequently, the resolution approved an amount of $40,000, which does not align with the consultant’s actual fee proposal or the full scope of services contemplated. Staff is bringing this item back to Council to ensure the approved amount accurately reflects the intended scope of services and remains consistent with the consultant’s original proposal. Funding is available in TSPLOST Account Number 335- 42200-541404. Public Works recommend approval. May 26, 2026 ✔ ✔ ✔ Decius T. Aaron Public Works Council consideration to approve the City of Stockbridge to contract with the HCWA to supply the labor and materials and coordinate the efforts to relocate the City’s water and sewer facilities that are in conflict with the Rock Quarry Road widening project in the amount of $617,085.95. Funding is available in SPLOST VI Account No. 321-43300-541405. Construction is officially underway on the 2.6-mile Rock Quarry Road widening project. During recent utility coordination meetings, it was identified that existing city water and sewer infrastructure located within the right-of-way directly conflicts with the new roadway, median, and multi-use path installations. ✔ $617,085.95 ✔ To prevent costly construction delays and keep the project on track for its projected 2028 completion, the City needs to formally contract with the Henry County Water Authority (HCWA) to facilitate the necessary utility relocations. Public Works recommend approval. 5/26/26 ✔ William Smith and Megan McCulloch Economic Development / Legal Council consideration of a Resolution approving a Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Stockbridge and the Downtown Development Authority regarding a phased approach to the design and construction of a statute honoring the legacy of Martin Luther King Sr., also known as “Daddy King.” At this time, the DDA is not requesting financial support from the City in this project.

It must be noted that our property taxes are collected at the end of the fiscal year, our sales taxes are two months behind, and we receive insurance premium revenues in October. Some Alcohol and wine tax revenues are way above annual estimates while others are tied to city events that are soon to kick off. On the other hand, expenses reached $10,824,780 at the end of April, representing 31% of the total budgeted expenses of $34,768,690. All departments are within the spending estimate at this time of the year. Expenditures may seem to be higher than revenues as some expenses are paid in advance such as insurances. One thing we do not see this year, is unbudgeted spending. There is no spending outside the budget. 10 Other Funds Financial Highlight FINANCIAL REVIEW YTD AS OF APRIL 30, 2026 UNAUDITED The City of Stockbridge Amphitheater collected $428,805 in revenues by end of April. This is a combination of ticket sales as well as sponsorships including one from Vystar. Revenues will increase with the first concert for the season in May. TSPLOST1 and SPLOST V! revenues have been flowing in as anticipated. Hotel/Motel revenues will surplus the estimated amount as was the case in 2025. This is a good indication of growing businesses and tourism in the city. Revenues for water & sewer, sanitation and stormwater are flowing in at a very slow pace. The trend will be closely monitored to decide if downward adjustmant will be needed during mid year budget amendment. 11 General Overview GENERAL FINANCIAL REVIEW YTD AS OF APRIL 30, 2026 The City is in good financial status to meet all its obligations and plans for growth in all aspects in line with short- and long-term goals through Governing Body’s priorities. Financial Policies and Procedures adopted by the Governing Body, have been critical in addressing the fiscal health of the City. One major accomplishment in this, is the end to unbudgeted spending. We believe in that if an expenditure is not in the budget, that means it does not exist. 12 GENERAL FINANCIAL REVIEW YTD AS OF APRIL 30, 2026 General Overview The City is in good financial status to meet all its obligations and plans for growth in all aspects in line with short- and long-term goals through Governing Body’s priorities.

City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule DECISION CONTEXT Current State vs. Proposed State The proposed structure creates a consistent operating model and reduces case-by-case negotiation pressure. Current State Proposed State • Case-by-case rental discussions • Limited distinction between small and large events • City service costs can be difficult to isolate • Higher staff burden and inconsistent expectations • Standardized outside rental schedule • Attendance-based facility impact surcharge • Actual cost recovery for public safety and operations • Clear administrative authority and financial controls Strategic result: a defensible policy that protects taxpayers and makes expectations clear for external renters. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule PROPOSAL Recommended base rental fee schedule Base fee covers event-day facility use, standard utilities, and limited load-in/load-out. City-required services are billed separately. Rental Day Recommended Fee Policy Rationale Monday – Thursday $10,000 Lower-demand use window Friday $15,000 Weekend event demand Saturday $18,000 Premium event demand Sunday $17,500 Weekend demand with operational reset Important Clarification • The base rental fee is not intended to absorb police, EMS, fire marshal, traffic control, cleanup, or specialized event costs. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule FACILITY IMPACT SURCHARGE Scale fees with verified event impact Large private events should contribute proportionately to facility wear, sanitation demand, traffic burden, and operational support. Attendance / Footprint Surcharge Purpose Included Baseline impact covered by rental fee 2,001 – 3,500 attendees $3 per attendee Moderate impact scaling 3,501 – 5,000 attendees $5 per attendee High impact scaling 0 – 2,000 attendees Verification Standard • Attendance should be verified through ticketing data, settlement reports, or documentation acceptable to the City. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule FINANCIAL CONTROLS Cost recovery and risk controls should be nonOutside rentals should not shift private event costs onto taxpayers or internal operating budgets. negotiable City Services Billing Standard Deposits • Police / security • EMS / medical • Fire marshal, if required • Traffic control and barricades • Sanitation and cleanup • Actual cost + 15% administrative fee • Clear estimates provided in advance • Final reconciliation after event • 30% non-refundable reservation deposit • $10K–$25K security/damage deposit • Final payment due 14 days prior Policy Principle Cost recovery protects the City’s financial position without restricting legitimate third-party use of the facility. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule PRICING PROPOSAL Community & Non-Profit Access Creates an intentional public-benefit pathway while protecting baseline City costs. Weekday Rate Weekend Rate Eligibility Controls • $5,000 – $7,500 • Best suited for lower-impact community events • City services billed separately • $7,500 – $12,500 • Reflects higher demand and operational impact • Reduced deposit: $5K–$10K • 501(c)(3) or public-benefit documentation • City Manager approval • No automatic waiver of safety costs Policy Position: Balance community access with fiscal responsibility; reduced rental rates should not become an unfunded City subsidy. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule PROGRAMMING INCENTIVE Kids & Family Show Pricing Proposal Encourages daytime utilization and family-friendly programming without undermining the standard rental structure. Recommended Rate Attendance Treatment Operating Assumptions • Flat rental: $7,500 – $12,500 • Designed for youth and family-oriented programming • Earlier event hours encouraged • Surcharge waived up to 3,000 attendees • Standard surcharge applies above 3,000 • Verified attendance still required • Lower security footprint where appropriate • Family-focused event plan required • City services billed separately Strategic Benefit: Activates the venue beyond premium night concerts and expands access for families, youth organizations, and school-age audiences. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule MARKET COMPARISON Regional market context supports a structured municipal model Comparable venue data should be used as directional support, not as a one-for-one pricing match. Venue / Model Published or Reported Signal Implication for Stockbridge Mable House Barnes Commercial: greater of 10% gross or $3,200/day; cap noted Validates revenue-sensitive pricing for commercial rentals Wolf Creek Current rental page directs inquiries; 2019 model was $15K + $15/ticket Supports base fee + scaled impact concept $10K–$18K base + attendance surcharge More predictable, transparent, and administratively defensible Stockbridge Proposed Market Position Stockbridge should not underprice a premium public asset; the recommended model remains competitive while improving cost recovery and transparency. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule COMPARABLE VENUE SIGNAL Wolf Creek benchmark supports a scaled-fee approach Wolf Creek is a useful regional signal because it is a public-sector amphitheater with a large event footprint. 2019 Publicly Reported Model Current Public Information Stockbridge Application • $15,000 flat rental fee • $15 per ticket • Promoter responsible for security, concessions, ushers, and other needs • City of South Fulton rental page directs inquiries • Published current fee table not clearly posted • Use benchmark as directional context only • Use base rental fee for certainty • Use surcharge for event impact • Keep City service costs separate Bottom line: the strongest policy lesson is not the exact number—it is the structure: base fee + scaled use + separate service costs. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule FINANCIAL IMPACT Projected revenue logic The model improves predictability while allowing revenue to scale with actual event impact. Base Revenue Impact Revenue Cost Recovery • Guaranteed rental income by day of week • Protects the City even if attendance is lower than projected • Creates a minimum cost-recovery floor • Large events pay proportionately • Surcharge reflects wear, staffing pressure, sanitation, and traffic impact • Avoids one-size-fits-all pricing • Police, EMS, fire marshal, traffic control, cleanup • Actual cost + 15% administrative fee • Protects taxpayers from subsidizing private rentals Bottom Line: The City maintains competitive pricing while formalizing cost recovery, risk controls, and public-benefit access. City of Stockbridge | Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule IMPLEMENTATION Recommended Council action Adopt the fee schedule and authorize staff to administer the program consistently. Step Action Responsibility 1 Adopt the outside rental fee schedule Mayor and Council 2 Finalize application, agreement, and event checklist City Manager / Legal / Venue Staff 3 Apply deposits, insurance, service estimates, and final payment controls Venue Staff / Finance 4 Reconcile actual City service costs after each event Finance / Public Safety / Operations Recommended Motion Approve the Stockbridge Amphitheater Outside Rental Fee Schedule as presented and authorize the City Manager or designee to implement administrative procedures.
