UPCCA Land Use Meeting - November 6 - Peachtree Corners Baptist Church

A note from Alex Wright about this rezoning application:

The UPCCA just announced a Land Use Meeting on 6 November at PCBC.

Below is a map of the impacted area. The boundaries are approximate. The red area is the proposed development. Please read the more detailed info from UPCCA further down in the email but the jist of the proposed development is 169 apartments and a hotel in the red area.

A little history
The developer for this proposal is Charlie Roberts. Mr. Roberts is the individual that sued (and won) Gwinnett County back around 2000 to have the land where the Town Center is going, zoned for apartments. He sat on that land until 2012 when he sold it to Lennar who was going to build apartments until the City bought it from Lennar in 2013 to prevent those apartments from being built. This led to the creation of the Town Center. Mr. Roberts is now proposing to build apartments on land next to the Town Center.

I would strongly encourage you to attend this meeting on 6 November and to share this information with your neighbors.

Regards
Alex Wright
City Council - Post 3

More 141/Peachtree Industrial Blvd News

Many of you have seen the improvement in southbound traffic at Holcomb Bridge from the addition of a merge ramp onto 141/PIB. You have also observed progress being made by the state at the I-285 eastbound ramp at 141/PIB. Work there is expected to be completed in February 2018. The city is in negotiations with other highway authorities to widen 141/PIB to four lanes in both directions between I-285 and Jimmy Carter Blvd. Once complete, this should greatly relieve congestion in that corridor. There is no date yet for this project but I will keep you posted as we get more information.
