VIII. PUBLIC HEARING
To be presented by the Community Development Staff.

A. REZONING CASE #RZ-2022-01 -- Remi Rose Development, LLC, the Applicant,
represented by Battle Law, P.C., the Agent, requests the rezoning of certain
property from the C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial), C-2 (General Commercial), and
PMU (Parkway Mixed-Use Overlay) districts to the PUD (Planned Unit
Development) and PMU (Parkway Mixed-Use Overlay) districts to allow for a mixed-
use development. The property contains two parcels, as are listed below, with 68.87
+/- total acres within the Stockbridge City Limits.
• Parcel #012-01003000 – The smaller parcel. Currently zoned ‘C-1’ and ‘PMU’.
Contains 3.131 +/- acres and comprises the property at 1036 Highway 138 West,
across from Spivey Road. Located in Land Lot 55 of District 12.
• Parcel #012-01002000 – The larger parcel. Currently zoned ‘C-2’ and ‘PMU’.
Contains 65.743 +/- acres. Situated adjacent to the western side of the smaller
parcel, with frontage on Highway 138 West, across from Tributary Parkway.
Located in Land Lot 42 of District 12.

PRESENTATION--Linda Logan gave a PowerPoint presentation of RZ-2022-01,
including the following key points:
1. The developer proposes to build 360 apartment units, 102 townhomes, and 48,000
square feet of commercial/retail space.
2. The main entrance would be via a driveway to be constructed across from Spivey
Road, which would enable the usage of the existing traffic signal. A secondary
access would also be provided.
3. To allow for the main entrance, the smaller parcel would need to be subdivided,
and its western tract would need to be combined with the larger tract. The eastern
Summary Minutes--City of Stockbridge, GA Planning Commission, May 26, 2022 2
tract of the smaller parcel would not be included within the project, and it would
remain zoned ‘C-1’.
4. The subdivision of the smaller parcel, and its recombination with the larger parcel,
may not occur unless and until the rezoning is approved so that the eastern tract
of the smaller parcel would not be rezoned to ‘PUD’ as a remnant, which the UDC
does not allow.
5. The applicant prepared a trip generation report, which estimates that the proposed
project would generate about 7,390 per day.
6. A 50-foot-wide buffer would be provided along the property’s western border,
adjacent to the Glen Devon Subdivision.
7. Reeves Creek would be protected.
8. The Community Development Staff recommended the approval of RZ-2022-01,
with five zoning conditions:
a. The developer must comply with all requirements of the UDC>
b. The rezoning should occur simultaneously with the requested Comprehensive
Plan Amendment (CP-2022-01).
c. The rezoning shall not be finalized until the smaller parcel is subdivided and its
western tract is combined with the larger parcel; and that this would not be
finalized until a new plat is recorded in the Henry County Superior Court.
d. The developer must protect Reeves Creek, submit a landscape plan, and
protect the existing small cemetery on the property.
e. No permits may be issued by the City until a copy of the recorded new plat is
provided to the Community Development Department.

BOARD COMMENTS:

1. Chairman Abdullah—He questioned whether the subdivision of the smaller parcel
would result in a 3-acre remnant being left over. Ms. Logan provided a response.
2. David Planchon—He questioned whether water would be provided to the site by
Clayton County. Ms. Logan stated that the applicant had provided a letter from the
Clayton County water authority. He also asked about a secondary access. Ms.
Logan responded that one would be provided across from Tributary Parkway.
3. Chairman Abdullah—He asked the applicant whether he had any comments. Kyle
Brock of Crescent Communities stated that Ms. Logan did a “fantastic job” of
presenting their site plan. Mr. Brock also stated that he’s attracted to Stockbridge
due to the following: a) the availability of existing infrastructure; b) the growth of
the City with jobs and other developments; c) the fact that the large size of
proposed site offers mixed-use potential; and d) the site offers sufficient
greenspace for providing a walking trail.
4. David Planchon—He questioned whether it would be necessary to rezone a
portion of the smaller parcel. Ms. Carter stated that the two parcels must have the
same zoning, and that there could not be a split zoning of the smaller parcel. Ms.
Logan stated that a suggestion was made to the applicant to possibly just obtain
an easement across the smaller rather than subdividing and rezoning a portion of
it.
5. Stanley Dumas—He asked about the price of the proposed townhomes. Mr. Brock
responded that they would be in the high $300s. Further, rental rates for the
proposed apartments would be $1,400 for a one-bedroom apartment, $2,100 for
a two-bedroom apartment; and $2,700 for a three-bedroom apartment.
Summary Minutes--City of Stockbridge, GA Planning Commission, May 26, 2022 2
PUBLIC HEARING—Chairman Abdullah opened the public hearing.
1. Brecca Carter—She cited one citizen’s question about proposed prices of the new
residential units, and stated that Troy Findley, who did not speak, opposed the
project due to his expected traffic volume increase on Lake Spivey Parkway due
to the right-turn-only exit from the proposed project at the second access.
2. Kyle Brock—He stated that most of the traffic from the proposed project would
head east, and that the secondary access would somewhat alleviate traffic
congestion for westbound traffic.
3. David Planchon—He questioned whether a full traffic impact study or a DRI
review was required.
4. Kyle Brock—He stated that no DRI study is required.
5. Brecca Carter—She stated that the developer would be required to coordinate
with GDOT since the property is located along a State highway.
6. Troy Findley—He chatted that another traffic light might be needed, and he
questioned whether an HOA would be established.
7. Kyle Brock—He stated that traffic calming devices would be installed, and that an
HOA would be established.
8. Brecca Carter—She stated that the City of Stockbridge, Henry County, and
Clayton County are working together to provide a beautification project on
Highway 138 West/Lake Spivey Parkway. Further, the City has a new Police
Department.
9. Ryan Oros—He stated that GDOT limits the ability to install another traffic light
so close to the existing traffic light at Spivey Road.
10. David Planchon—He stated that the traffic light would stay green unless someone
is turning left out of the project site.
11. Tyler McSwain—He chatted that deceleration and acceleration lanes would be
provided along Lake Spivey Parkway.

BOARD ACTION –Chairman Abdullah closed the public hearing and asked for a
motion on the proposed rezoning. David Planchon motioned to accept the proposed
project as planned. Stanley Dumas seconded the motion, to include the zoning
conditions which Ms. Logan identified. A vote was taken, and the motion was
unanimously approved as a recommendation to City Council.

B. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT CASE #CP-2022-01 -- Remi Rose
Development, LLC, the Applicant, represented by Battle Law, P.C., the Agent,
requests the changing of the Future Land Use Designation of certain property from
‘Low-Density Vertical Mixed-Use’ to ‘High-Density Residential’ to allow for a mixed-
use development. The property contains two parcels, as are listed below, with 68.87
+/- total acres within the Stockbridge City Limits.
• Parcel #012-01003000 – The smaller parcel. Contains 3.131 +/- acres and
comprises the property at 1036 Highway 138 West, across from Spivey Road.
Located in Land Lot 55 of District 12.
• Parcel #012-01002000 – The larger parcel. Contains 65.743 +/- acres. Situated
adjacent to the western side of the smaller parcel, with frontage on Highway 138
West, across from Tributary Parkway. Located in Land Lot 42 of District 12.

Summary Minutes--City of Stockbridge, GA Planning Commission, May 26, 2022 2
PRESENTATION--Linda Logan gave a PowerPoint presentation of CP-2022-01.
She briefly mentioned a few of the points which she had made in her presentation of
RZ-2022-01, and she showed the location of the subject property on the City’s Future
Land Use Map. She then added the following key points:
1. The applicant’s requested rezoning is not consistent with the City’s
Comprehensive Plan, and the land use designation change is necessary
because:
a. The current land use designation does not allow the applicant’s proposed large
multifamily uses and commercial uses in separate buildings; and
b. The proposed densities would not be allowed under the existing land use
designation.
2. The larger parcel’s existing C-2 zoning and its proposed PUD zoning are not
allowed under the property’s existing Low-Density Vertical Mixed-Use
designation.
3. There is no need to change the property’s land use designation unless the property
is rezoned for a development proposal.
4. Any approval of CP-2022-01 must be contingent upon the simultaneous approval
of RZ-2202-01.
5. No other properties in the vicinity have the requested High-Density Residential
land use designation, but the subject property is nevertheless suitable for this
designation due to the following:
a. Its large size, whereby the requested High-Density residential designation
would not represent a “spot” designation in the surrounding area;
b. Its location along a State highway, making it suitable for high-density
development;
c. Its proximity to a large C-3 zoning district on its eastern side, hwere major
commercial uses could be developed; and
d. Its proximity to a low-density use (single-family detached residential) on only
one of its sides.
6. Due to the location of the subject property along a State highway, as well as its
large size, it is unlikely that the types of land uses that are intended for areas
having the Low-Density Vertical Mixed-Use designation would actually be
developed on this property.
7. The requested Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be necessary and
desirable for the subject property in conjunction with the requested rezoning to
allow for the proposed mixed-use development.
8. The Planning and Zoning Staff recommends the APPROVAL of CP-2022-01 to
change the property’s land use designation from ‘Low-Density Vertical Mixed-
Use’ to ‘High-Density Residential’.

PUBLIC HEARING—Chairman Abdullah opened the public hearing. Troy Findley
chatted a procedural question, wondering if the case would be going to City Council;
and stated his opposition to the project. No one spoke in favor of the project.
Chairman Abdullah closed the public hearing.

BOARD ACTION—Kathleen Nelson motioned to approve CP-2022-01, and David
Planchon seconded the motion. A vote was taken, and the motion was unanimously
approved.
Summary Minutes--City of Stockbridge, GA Planning Commission, May 26, 2022 2
IX. PROJECT UPDATES
To be presented by the Community Development Staff. No action is required.
Brecca Carter, Community Development Director, stated that copies of the City’s new
Unified Development Code (UDC) have been made and distributed to Planning
Commission members, and that a new Staff Directory has been prepared to reflect
recent staffing changes within the Community Development Department.

X. STAFF COMMENTS
To be presented by the Community Development Staff. No action is required.
Brecca Carter, Community Development Director, provided the following information:
1) Community Improvement District (CID) --Some property owners, including Jay
Kresses and Larry Wilensky, are considering the establishment of a Community
Improvement District (CID) along Highway 138/Lake Spivey Road within the City,
where business owners would tax themselves for various infrastructure
improvements to be made within the District. This is a joint initiative between the
City of Stockbridge, Henry County and Clayton County.
2) Major City Annexation--The City of Stockbridge has proposed a major annexation
of unincorporated land into the City, whereby some 6,600 new residents would
become citizens of the City. A referendum has been approved by the State
Legislature and a vote will be made by those residents during the November 8,
2022 General Election. A Public Engagement Meeting was held on June 2, 2022
at the Merle Manders Conference Center, where presentations were made to
citizens on the possible benefits of annexation to them.
3) Comprehensive Plan Update--The five-year update of the City’s Comprehensive
Plan is required to be completed next year by the Atlanta Regional Commission,
and the City will begin working on the update soon. As part of that effort, an
alignment with the specifications of the City’s new Unified Development Plan
(UDC)—specifically its new zoning districts—will need to occur.
4) Public Information--The Community Development Department is in the process of
preparing a newsletter and reports.

XI. BOARD COMMENTS
Chairman Abdullah stated that having copies of the new Unified Development Code
(UDC) has been helpful and engaging. Kathleen Nelson asked for prayers for the
recent national tragedies involving shootings, as did Chairman Abdullah.

V. ANALYSIS

Project Description

The applicant is proposing to build a gasoline service station with a convenience store. The subject property
is zoned ‘PUD’ with a C-2 (General Commercial District) designation. The Stockbridge Unified Development
Code allows gasoline service stations to be built within a C-2 zoning with the approval of a conditional use
permit and several supplemental standards listed below.

UDC Development Regulations Relevant to Request:

• Section 3.2.14 – Gasoline Service Stations.
• Section 9.2.4 – Requirements for Conditional Use Permit
• Section 9.2.5 – Use Permit Considerations.

Staff Analysis

Section 3.2.14 – Gasoline Service Stations

a. Section 3.214 (C) of the Stockbridge Unified Development Code states that gas stations must
maintain a separation distance of 4,500 linear feet. The proposed location of the applicant’s
proposed use for a gasoline service station with a convenience store is approximately 0.3 miles
from an existing gas station, located at 3656 Jodeco Road.

Section 9.2.4 Requirements for Conditional Use Permits provides the following criteria for granting a
Conditional Use Permit from the City of Stockbridge Unified Development Code (UDC) requirements.

a. The proposed use shall not cause traffic congestion or conditions that will adversely affect
nearby properties.

• The proposed use has the potential to generate an increase in traffic congestion in an
area that may not currently experience much traffic.

b. The physical conditions of the site, including topography, drainage and size and shape, are
suitable for the proposed development.

• The property is currently vacant and would not be able to accommodate the proposed
use without the need of variances. The property is small in size and width.

c. Adequate public facilities are available to serve the proposed use.

• A letter from the Henry County Water and Sewerage Authority, dated June 10, 2022
states the County and water services are provided to the subject property.

d. The applicant has made a binding agreement for any specific limitations or conditions
necessary to protect the public interest and assure the continued beneficial use and enjoyment
of nearby properties or that no special limitations are necessary to protect the public.

• Staff is not aware of any binding agreement for specific limitations or conditions.

e. The conditional use with specific limitations and design features as may have been required
will further the aims of the comprehensive plan and will not be unduly detrimental to nearby

#CU-2022-01 - 108 Peach Drive (Tract 2)

properties.

• The request is to allow a gas station with a convenience store to be built within the PUD
zoning district with a C-2 zoning classification. The Stockbridge Unified Development
Code allows gasoline service stations to be built within a C-2 zoning with the approval
of a conditional use permit. The proposed use should have minimal impacts on the
nearby properties.

Section 9.2.5. Use Permit Considerations provides the following criteria for granting a Use Permit from
the City of Stockbridge Unified Development Code (UDC) requirements. In the event of the public health,
safety and welfare, the city council may exercise limited discretion in evaluating the site proposed for a use
which requires a use permit. In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject use, the city council shall
consider each of the criteria listed below. In exercising such discretion, the analysis of these factors is
included below:

1) Whether the proposed use is consistent with the comprehensive land use plan adopted by city
council;

• The subject property’s future land use designation is Low Density Residential since it
was part of the 26.43 tract that was rezoned to PD.

2) Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the property for which the
use permit is proposed;

• The proposed use is compatible with the other land uses and zoning districts in the
vicinity area. The other surrounding parcels are part of the 26.43 tract that was rezoned
from ‘PD’ in Henry County to ‘PD’ in Stockbridge with a ‘C-2’ designation.

3) Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statues, ordinances or
regulations governing land development;

• The proposed use will violate the local, state, or federal statues, ordinances or
regulations governing land development. Section 3.214 (C) of the Stockbridge Unified
Development Code states that gas stations must maintain a separation distance of 4,500
square feet. The proposed location of the use for a gasoline service station with a
convenience store is approximately 0.3 miles from an existing gas station, located at
3656 Jodeco Road. Therefore, it is in violation.

4) The effect of the proposed use on traffic flow, vehicular and pedestrian, along adjoining street.

• The proposed use has the potential to generate an increase in traffic congestion in an
area that may not currently experience much traffic.

5) The location and number of off-street parking spaces;

• According to the current site plan, the proposed building is 5,220 square feet with 26
parking spaces. Section 4.8.5 of the Stockbridge Unified Development Code states the
number of parking spaces that the proposed use of a gasoline service is required to
have 5 parking spaces per 1,000 square feet. Section 4.8.5 requires the building to have
approximately 26 parking spaces. Therefore, there are enough proposed parking
spaces.

#CU-2022-01 - 108 Peach Drive (Tract 2)

6) The amount and location of open space;

• The size of the parcel is not sufficient to build the proposed gas station with the
convenience store. Therefore, a variance is required.

7) Protective screening;

• A solid wall or solid fence not less than 6 feet in height will be required to be built as
stated in Section 3.214 (D) of the Stockbridge Unified Development Code.

8) Hours and manner of operation;

• The gasoline service station will be operated on a 24-hour basis.

9) Outdoor Lighting; and

• There is sufficient lighting at the proposed location.

10) Ingress and egress to the property

• The applicant has both adequate ingress and egress since it is located on Campground
Road.

Summary of Impacts/Concerns

Fire Marshal The Fire Marshall requires two entrances into the
property. He will need to determine whether it is
acceptable to have two driveways so close together,
and whether an emergency exit is needed off Wilshire
Way.
Henry County Water and Sewer A letter from the Henry County Water and Sewerage
Authority, dated June 10, 2022 states the County and
water services are provided to the subject property.

VI. STAFF RECOMMENDATION

Since gas stations must be separated by 4,500 linear feet, and since another gas station is
approximately 1,000 linear feet from the subject property (located at 3656 Jodeco Road), gasoline
service sales may not be allowed on the subject property.

Staff recommends DENIAL of the applicant’s request to allow gasoline service sales at the subject
property.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

You have requested that this Authority provide you with information concerning the present
availability of water and sewer services to the above-described property. This letter is being
provided for informational purposes only and will not act to reserve water capacity to you or the
property and will not create any liability to the Authority. The information contained in this letter
will remain in effect for a period of 365 days from the date of this letter unless subsequently
notified in writing by the Authority. The information provided herein is based upon the above-
stated zoning of the property. Any deviation in zoning that would increase density or usage above
that evaluated by the Authority will automatically void the information provided herein and will
require a separate re-evaluation by this Authority.

Water service is currently available to the property described above. A fire flow test conducted in
the area revealed the following data:

Static: 89 psi
Residual: 49 psi
Flow 1060 gpm
Calculated Flow @ 20 psi: 1422 gpm

As shown, these results are above the minimum adopted standards of 20 psi residual pressure at
1000 gpm for said proposed conditional use as established by the Henry County Board of
Commissioners.

Sewage treatment and sewer line capacity are available for the property.

The Authority provides water and sewer services where capacity is available on a first-come, first
served basis. Each customer, developer, and property owner must also comply with the rules,
