SPI-12 DRC Request
Applicant: Kimley Horn, David Meyers/ JHP Architecture
SAP#: SAP-12-063
Project Scope: 320 Multifamily Units, internal corridors, 1-2 bed mix apartments
Variation Requested: Wieuca frontage requires 18 foot height to facilitate inclusion of future retail on the ground level. The development as
proposed does not meet this, however, achieves the impression of the required height by architectural detail. The DRC does not anticipate retail
development on in this area and recommends the City accept the request for variation.
The DRC noted that the ground floor units must have doors directly accessing the Wieuca frontage and the end unit did not meet this requirement
and should be modified.

http://livablebuckhead.com/phipps-multi-family/
The DRC recommends the Phipps Drive vehicular entrance be modified to accommodate pedestrian traffic accessing Phipps Plaza via the internal
road adjacent to Wieuca. The DRC recommends the applicant coordinate with Simon to provide attractive accessible pedestrian connectivity
across Phipps Drive and along the road adjacent to Wieuca leading to the upper level parking.
The DRC members noted that all bicycle parking is interior to the development and recommended the inclusion some spaces in areas where
visitors might gain access.
The DRC members noted the 65% fenestration requirement on Wieuca and asked the applicant to be sure this is achieved.
The DRC noted concerns about the retaining wall noted on the plans along the eastern end of the Wieuca frontage (toward Phipps). The
recommended careful consideration of the treatment to ensure the maximum 36 inch variation in topography requirement is not exceeded.
The DRC recommended the applicant ensure the inclusion of internal areas to support tenants in recycling activities. The applicant noted that
recycling, solar panels, electric vehicle charging were all items they will incorporate.

Project Description: A 359 unit luxury apartment complex spanning the two remaining development sites in Terminus on structured parking 463
spaces. A circle brand concept developed by Crescent Resources that focuses on providing a sense of community for its tenants.
Applicant: LAS Architects, Jay Silverman
SAP#: 12-073
Project Scope: 359 apartments, 463 structured parking, 2 bldgs, LEED certified
Variation Requested:
The DRC noted concerns about the proposed bridging of Highland Road, which ranges in clearance height from 14 to 29 feet. The DRC noted
concerns about the tunnel-like quality of this space, the lack of active uses on the street face, the safety and general aesthetics of this area. The
DRC members offered several ideas for consideration including, wrapping the area with active uses, incorporating public art, incorporating the
fitness center, minimize, reshape and/or relocate structural columns to provide as much clear space as possible, provide artistic lighting, vertical
penetrations to the amenity deck above to allow sunlight to filter into the space.
The DRC noted concerns with Terminus Drive – specifically that it is not activate and does not appear to meet the fenestration requirements for

http://livablebuckhead.com/circle-terminus/
minor street sidewalks.
The DRC noted concerns with loading on Highland and suggested this be reconsidered as this is a major access point in the street network, not an
internal service drive.
The DRC noted concerns with the configuration of the pet walk area – being overly long and narrow and recommended the Applicant explore
opportunities to rework this area.
The DRC noted they liked the general design of the proposed project in terms of look and feel, however, since significant revisions are needed to
address the issues raised requested the applicant return to present the revisions at the July meeting.

Project Description: Bhojanic- An Emory area favorite comes to Shops Around Lenox, the Bhojanic Indian restaurant will be nested into one
corner of the recently renovated Shops Around Lenox Development managed by HW properties.
Seven Lamps – A new restaurant concept featuring small plates and a gathering around the kitchen island feel is going to be nestled into the
corner opposite Bhojanic anchoring the Shops Around Lenox development managed by HW Properties.
Applicant: Coley Garrett
SAP#:
Project Scope: New façade, entry doors, outdoor dining pavilion
The applicant presented two new dining establishments being built out within the two “internal corners” of the Shops Around Lenox
development. The Applicant noted that they had previously been approved by the NPU for liquor licenses and that no other variations are
necessary.

Project Description: Located in Tower Walk facing Piedmont Road, the spot previously housing Keller Williams has been converted to a rustic
sports bar known for hearty man food, ice cold beer and boasting scenic views.
Applicant: Jean Vallee, Robb McKerrow
SAP#:
Project Scope: Reclad exterior columns and replace exterior lighting and railing for existing outdoor dining area. Build entryway/canopy and
apply stone veneer to pillars and column bases.
Variation Requested: 12 sf Exterior Dining, pillars in front entry
The Applicant noted that the façade design presented has already been permitted with the exception of the addition of the stone pillars, wood truss
and wood handrail surrounding the outdoor dining. The DRC found that its role really does not extend to aesthetics and, therefore, recommends
approval of the request.

Project Description: The former AIU site on Peachtree will soon be replaced with a 16,504 s.f two story two tenant space developed by Regent
Partners.
Applicant: Regent Partners, Jim Feldman /Keith Mack
SAP#:
Project Scope: 2 story 16,504 gsf building, phase I of II, 2 tenants
Variation Requested: The proposed design includes a small percentage of the Peachtree frontage which has a use designated as electrical room
which is not an active use as required. The DRC recommends the approval of this variation as the impact is minimal in that the architecture
supports the designation of this use and fenestration requirements are satisfied.
The DRC noted that the address must be displayed on the front of the building in 6 inch or larger font. The Applicant indicated he will add this to
the plans. DRC Member Jim Feldman abstained from voting on this project given the conflict of interest present.

Project Description: The Applicant presented changes to the façade of Lenox Square which included the following:
A pedestrian connection to Peachtree Road
A roundabout where the Peachtree Road entrance interfaces with the internal “ring road.”
A proposed water feature in the middle of the roundabout
Landscaped area adjacent to the outdoor seating
Additional 5’ sidewalks on the Neiman Marcus (western) facade
Reconfiguration of the existing road serving the porte cochere
New drop off zone and curb cut for new mall entry
Recladding of the facades
Display cases along western façade
The Applicant presented changes to the rear food court which included the following:
“Enclosing” outdoor patio area to create formal outdoor seating area.
Incorporation of planters with bamboo to screen area from parking
Addition of patio doors to connect food court to new patio area.

Applicant: Shelby Morris, Beck Design/ RTKL/Simon Property Group
SAP#:
Project Scope: Modifications to front facade
Variance Requested: Facade Changes
Recommendations:
The development includes existing Buc shuttle stops at both the main front and food court entrances which are impacted by the proposed
modifications. Current plans do not include accommodations for the stop signage nor any amenities for waiting passengers. The Applicant
should incorporate these considerations into the plans to encourage transit ridership.
The development previously included an installation of public art – a sculpture – along the pedestrian way towards Peachtree Road which
has been relocated off the property. The Applicant is encouraged to consider incorporating a new piece of public sculpture or to complete
the design in such a way that a piece of sculpture can be placed there as part of future art programs currently under development through
Livable Buckhead, Inc.
The access point to Peachtree Road also serves as a MARTA bus stop. The Applicant should incorporate benches and trash receptacles to
create a pleasant waiting environment for passengers.
It was noted that the rear food court entrance currently serves as a smokers congregating point which would negatively impact the dining
environment desired. It was recommended that this be a posted nonsmoking area.
It was noted that the GA 400 Trail is planned to come to the back of the mall via connection across the Gordon Bynum bridge and proceed
to Lenox MARTA station along E. Paces Ferry Road. The Applicant should consider this new connection and develop amenities to serve
patrons arriving by bicycle, foot and MARTA. Bike racks should be readily accessible here.
It was noted that access to Lenox Square from the Lenox MARTA station is particularly difficult and that efforts should be made to direct
rail patrons to the Food Court entrance.
It was noted that access between Lenox Square and Shops Around Lenox is neither safe nor easy. The Applicant is encouraged to consider
enhancing connectivity for pedestrians between the two areas.
A question was raised as to whether the new façade and signage may eliminate the need for an LED sign on Peachtree. The applicant will
take this under consideration.
It was noted that the top of the “Lenox Square” sign above the new front entrance will be approximately 65 feet above ground level but will
probably be within allowable limits from the sidewalk at street level, due to the fact that the mall is located lower than the Peachtree
frontage.
It was noted that the walkway from the sidewalk at Peachtree to the front entrance cuts across the parking lot. The applicant was urged to
set off the walkway with pavers and/or landscaping so as to provide shielding from the parking lot to the extent possible.

Project Description: The applicant presented elevations and plans for 250 unit apartment complex (70% 1-bed, 30% 2 bed) on Maple Drive to
replace two existing buildings. The plans are very early in development and do not reflect a significant level of architectural detail. Specific
elements are noted below:
Plans include 338 parking spaces in two stories underneath the building with a shared parking arrangement for 35 to 40 spaces with the
adjacent commercial property facing Piedmont Road. Parking will be accessed from the side driveway and also on the east corner facing
Piedmont at controlled times.
Two points of access from Maple Drive.
Street frontage is to be activated with placement of clubhouse and leasing functions.
Dog curbing/park to be included on the southern edge of the site accessible by a grand stair and considered part of their open space. This
area shall be accessible by an unlocked gate.
Bike parking to include 50 spaces – 4 will be out front and the rest inside and secured
Stormwater management will be handled via underground storage, bioswales and some reuse of water.
Efforts will be made to meet NAHB standards to ensure energy efficiency.
Recycling has not been planned yet, but will be incorporated either through a valet operation or a separate chute.
Loading and dumpsters will occur on the northern edge of the site.
The development will include two (2) loading dock instead of the required three (3).

http://livablebuckhead.com/3091-maple-broadstone-maple/
SAP#: Formal Application Not Yet Submitted to the City of Atlanta
Project Scope: Demolish existing commercial buildings and construct a multi-family building.
Variance Requested: Parking and Loading
Recommendations:
The committee made the following observations/recommendations:
Plans for the area include a future road connection between Maple and Piedmont and the side drive should be designed with this in mind
and the ability to be activated.
-
The future resident parking located along the northern driveway must be screened from Maple Drive.
-
Shared parking agreement is commended.
-
The Applicant should make every effort to include “green” components.
The Applicant shall keep the DRC committee abreast of any significant changes to the plans and submit plans electronically once they
progress to a level of significant detail.
The committee is in Agreement with variations needed to accommodate the proposed 338 parking spaces and sharing of 35-40 with
adjacent site. A formal agreement for the sharing should be presented to the committee.
The committee is in Agreement with the variations needed to accommodate the reduction in loading spaces provided the property
management team establishes and actively managed plan for scheduling move ins/outs.

Project Description: Modifications to outdoor dining area to enclose walkway.
Please click on image to download all documents:
Applicant: Cindy Silver on behalf of Healey Weatherholtz
SAP#:
Project Scope: Modifications to outdoor dining area to enclose walkway and provide additional retail space in the area beneath the restaurant
fronting the internal parking lot.
Recommendations:
Pedestrian access to Around Lenox Shopping Center from Peachtree Street northbound is currently most feasible via a sidewalk that runs
the full length of the west side of Wooddale Drive. To connect with this sidewalk, stripe pedestrian crosswalk from southwestern corner of
proposed new sidewalk to connect the ADA ramp to the sidewalk on the west side of Wooddale Drive
Add a short screen wall on the western side of the building, parallel to the southern façade. This will block view of mechanical equipment
from pedestrian crosswalk and discourage pedestrian access to the eastern side of Wooddale Drive. We are suggesting this because
Wooddale Drive cannot have a continuous sidewalk, due to the location of the existing structure.
Remove the two steps on the southern front of the building. Replace them with a sloped ramp with handrail. Add an ADA ramp on the
southeastern corner of the proposed new sidewalk along the proposed enclosed façade of the building.
Add a striped crosswalk connecting the new ADA ramp to the existing sidewalk coming into the development from Lenox Loop Road.

Project Scope: New construction of 219 unit apartment development, 308 parking spaces on 1.964 acre site (site of current Dante’s)
Click picture below to download project files:
Applicant: Atlantic Realty
SAP#: not filed – pre-application meeting
Variation Requests: (not filed)
Ceiling Height minimum for first floor – allow height to be articulated on façade through materials selection, but not reflected in interior
space.
Reduction in Loading Zones from three required to two.
Recommendation:
The Committee has requested the developer make several changes to the proposed project prior to filing for the Special Administrative Permits
and come back before the committee at the December meeting prior to final recommendations being made regarding the requested variations.
Specific suggestions include:
Accommodation of the future pedestrian circulation plan along the rear and eastern frontages of the building. Specifically activating the rear
end of the building and providing ground level entrance and potential retail or active use space to provide direct access to future pedestrian
“plaza” space and access to northern concourse of Buckhead MARTA station.
Designing the back drive and associated detention in response to a future potential green space in the adjacent property to the rear of the
site.
Consider providing future ability to access the proposed street network (specifically item 14 on the pedestrian circulation plan map) from
7/2/2014 7:45 PM

the lower parking level to provide accessibility to a signalized intersection.
Exceed bike parking requirements given adjacency to future GA400 greenway trail.
Incorporate public art.
Pursue all green features possible with a focus on recycling (multiple trash chutes and collection areas on each floor).
Incorporate green rooftop deck.
Eliminate “alley” access on eastern side of building from Peachtree via a “wing wall” or other architectural element.
Incorporate some type of green façade on parking deck. (Retain required “headlight” screen, but consider incorporating green/landscape
elements above.

Project Scope: Development for the former City Place site located between Roxboro, Oak Valley and East Paces Ferry.
Click image below to download project files:
Applicant: Bob Hughes, HGOR (on behalf of Wellsfargo)
SAP#:
Variation Requested: Master Plan
Bob Hughes, HGOR, presented a proposed master plan for the former City Place site located between Roxboro, Oak Valley and East Paces Ferry.
Basic features of the proposed plan are outlined below:
Central 2 acre park to be developed as storm water detention to service the site. Park timed to be developed with the first development site
that moves forward. Park separated into two discreet pieces.
4 individual development parcels – which will each come in separately for review as they are developed.
Association to be established to oversee common areas (park).
Plan provides street network including connectivity to East Paces Ferry, Wright Ave, Kingsboro, Oak Valley and Roxboro. Roads
anticipated to be dedicated to City as public roads.
Connection to Roxboro right in right out only.
All roads to meet streetscape requirements and are anticipated to be designed in a consistent manner throughout the development
(specifically regarding sidewalk materials)

City Place, East Paces Ferry – Roxboro « Livable Buckhead
2 of 2
http://livablebuckhead.com/city-place-east-paces-ferry-roxboro/
General Observations:
Developer would like to see a road diet on East Paces Ferry to facilitate connection to Lenox MARTA station.
There is some question as to the legal validity of the conservation easement surrounding the open space in the northeastern corner of the
site that needs to be resolved.
The road placement between parcels “B“ and “C” is intentionally left somewhat flexible to be adjusted for future development
opportunities.
The committee noted the presence of a pedestrian easement through the former Starwood site that might be incorporated to provide
connectivity to Lenox Road.
The Development of the parcels is intended to be between 225’ and 600’ as dictated by the height plane.
The city’s transportation staff comments that the transportation network is redundant and may allow for more space to be reclaimed for open
space.
Recommendations:
The committee formally commends WellsFargo for working with the community through the SPI-12 rezoning process to ensure the future
vision for this site is protected and defined prior to bringing the property to market.
The committee recommends the plan be amended to ensure parcel “A” will be developed with a “gateway” element at the corner of
Roxboro and East Paces Ferry. The committee recommends inclusion of additional greenspace and/or public art in this area.
The committee recommends the City take the actions necessary to “swap” the public right-of-way previously proposed with the net street
network presented in the master plan.
The committee recommends approval of the proposed master plan with the park and street grid presented with the modifications noted
above.

http://livablebuckhead.com/monarch-plaza-2013/
The committee expressed significant concerns about the operation of the traffic circle and conflicts that are created with traffic (including
buses) exiting the adjacent Ritz Carlton property. The configuration as laid out is confusing as to whether it operates as a traffic circle or a
“lay by” and needs to be clarified. Several suggestions regarding reconfiguration of the island in the middle were suggested as well as
incorporating clear directional signage.
The committee recommends clearly marking the pedestrian access across the driveway to the bank teller windows to enhance connectivity
with the Ritz Carlton and also improve pedestrian safety.
The committee recommends the designation of some parking spaces on the western face of the building surface lot for incorporation of
Zipcar.
The committee recommends incorporating permeable pavers that meet ADA requirements for the arched sidewalks.
The committee recommends incorporating active use on the street level east side of the building to enhance the visual connection between
the street and the dining courtyard between Monarch and The Ritz Carlton.

Applicant: McKenna Long & Aldridge – Sharon Gay, Pete Moriarty
SAP#:
Variation Requested: The applicant asserts the right to proceed under Section 16-18L.001(2.) of SPI-12, which provides as follows:
Subject to property interests otherwise properly vested under state law, all zoning districts and related site plans and conditions in existence prior
to the effective date of this chapter shall be replaced by the regulations of this chapter, except as follows:
a.
Any principal building shown on a parcel of property that is subject to a site plan approved prior to the effective date of this chapter that was not
constructed prior to said effective date may be constructed through issuance of an SAP in accordance with the uses(s), height, location and
7/2/2014 7:48 PM
2 of 3
density applicable to that building as specified on such site plan. Such building shall be deemed conforming for purposes of Chapter 24
(Nonconformities) as to such previously approved use(s), height, location and density. Except as otherwise provided herein, all other regulations
of this chapter shall apply to said parcel unless compliance with these other regulations renders construction of such building consistent with such
prior use(s), height, location and density structurally unfeasible.
By way of history, the applicant stated the following: The property was originally zoned in the 1990s as part of the PD-MU (Planned
Development – Mixed Use) classification adopted for Phipps Plaza (Z-96-70). In 2001, the City Council amended the PD-MU zoning for the
property to approve a revised site plan and landscape plan. Ordinance No. 01-O-0588 (Z-01-25), adopted by the Council on July 16, 2001 and
approved by operation of law on July 25, 2001 (copy attached for your information). This 2001 Amendment approved a site plan prepared by
Burt Hill Kosar Rittelmann Associates dated August 16, 1999 and landscape and section plans prepared by Hughes, Good, O’Leary, and Ryan
dated July 10, 2001 and entitled “View A from Phipps Boulevard to Mall Service Road” and “Phipps Boulevard Frontage Plan.” (Color copies
of these plans were included in the packet submitted to the DRC.)
The PD-MU site plans for 750 and 1000 Park Avenue were designed to connect and coordinate as a unified development pursuant to companion
zoning site plans and unified control adopted for the entire Phipps Plaza block. The landscaping, building layouts and orientations, private street
and entry court, and walkways were designed to work as a unified development. Additionally, the landscape plan for 1000 Park Avenue was
carefully negotiated with the neighborhood.
The applicant is seeking approval to develop a residential building in accordance with the building location, site and landscaping layout, height,
use, and FAR approved by Z-01-25. All other pertinent elements – parking, loading, street tree and lighting placement, bike parking, open space
– are covered by SPI-12 regulations.
Because the applicant plans to proceed under a previously approved site plan approved as part of Z-01-25, the committee’s review under SPI-12
is limited to one variation required: a reduction in the required loading areas from 3 to 2.
Recommendation:
The committee voted unanimously to support the requested variation and recommends the City allow this variation.
Additionally, the committee notes acknowledgement by the applicant of a previous private agreement between the property owner and the North
Buckhead Civic Association, and recommends the Applicant coordinate with that organization prior to issuance of the recommendations by the
City of Atlanta.
The committee also recommends the applicant establish shared parking arrangements and direct connections between the parking deck for the
original Tower and the proposed 100 Park Avenue Tower contemplated in this SAP.

Project Scope: new construction apartments
Applicant: Novarre Group, Jim Borders /Kimley Horn Emmy Montagne
SAP#: not filed
Variation Requested: The applicant presented the development which includes a 26 story apartment development with a mix of one two and
three bedroom units although predominantly one bedroom. The first floor is a common area, there is a rooftop amenities deck, open air terrace,
tennis court on top of the parking structure. Loading occurs between the building and the parking deck, future interparcel access with the
remainder of the site toward Peachtree is contemplated as is a shared driveway with the future development to the south. The building is to be
energy star certified and have a valet recycling program.
Recommendations:
7/2/2014 7:49 PM
2 of 3
The committee recommends the applicant entertain more significant integration with the MARTA pedestrian bridge adjacent to the
development, preferably providing direct controlled access to the bridge for the residents.
Open Space Sec. 16-18L.008(1) – A minimum of 20% of the site must be open space.
16-18.007(4) – a Pet walk area a minimum of 500 square feet must be provided.
16-18L.011(2) – Major Sidewalk Level Façade – 50% of the major sidewalk level requires fenestration. Where the sidewalk level does not
align with the internal space on the southern edge of the Stratford face, the committee recommends the integration of display space for
public art.
The primary building entrance on Stratford should be architecturally articulated to give it more significance.
16-18L.011(3) Minor sidewalk level fenestration and use requirements should be satisfied.
Parking Deck Screening/Décor. The committee strongly recommends that the northern side of the parking deck be treated artistically to
enhance the pedestrian experience connecting to the MARTA pedestrian bridge. Additionally, the western side of the deck facing GA400
should be screened with a vegetative buffer to provide an attractive perspective of the building from the highway as this is a major point of
entry to the community.
Parking deck fenestration requirements – the committee recommends approval of a variation to not include fenestration on the western side
of the deck facing GA400.
Traffic. Although not in the purview of this committee, the traffic projections were discussed. The applicant noted that Stratford was
anticipated to be retrofitted by the CID as a result of a previous DRI with a right turn lane onto Peachtree.
Bicycle Parking – Sec 16-18L.017 – Bicycle parking – one space for every 5 units maximum of 50. 364 units = 72.8. 50 spaces should be
provided.
Transit Station Parking – Sec 16-18L.016(7) allows for designated MARTA parking to be provided in transit station areas. The Buckhead
station is one of the lowest utilized in the MARTA system likely due to the lack of adjacent parking. The committee recommends the
applicant take advantage of this flexibility and add designated parking for MARTA patrons.
Transportation Management Plan – Sec 16-18L.018 – developments over 50,000 of gross leasable floor area are required to become
members of the Transportation Management Association (BATMA).
Loading – Sec 16-18L.012 – 3 loading spaces are required by code. The developer plans to use one of the designated spaces to house a
compactor and has requested a variation. The committee recommends approval of this variation.
Curb Cuts – 16-18L.014(2b) Curb cuts allowed maximum of 36 feet per street frontage. The proposed development is likely to exceed this,
however, the exact calculation was not available and the southern curb cut is anticipated to be a shared driveway with the future adjacent
development. The committee is comfortable with the concept of this variation upon the provision of exact dimensions.
Sec 16-18L.019 – Roof Surface must achieve a minimum initial SRI Solar SRI of 78.
The committee recommends the inclusion of a robust recycling program, such as a valet service, that makes it very easy for residents to
recycle.
The committee recommends the incorporation of public art into the development – particularly along the access to the MARTA station.
The committee recommends the inclusion of electric vehicle charging stations.
The committee requests the developer return to the DRC as the connectivity to MARTA is such a significant consideration.

Lenox Square Residential « Livable Buckhead
2 of 2
http://livablebuckhead.com/lenox-square-residential/
SAP#: not filed – preliminary review
Variation Requested: 2 building phased development. Phase I = 400 feet in height, Phase II 450 feet in height. 750 units.
Recommendations:
The DRC commends the developer on the creativity used to address the parking deck structure.
The committee recommends the designer pay particular attention to the treatment of the northwestern corner of the site – specifically
incorporating the entrance from the proposed PATH400 trail to the mall as well as considering the views from the Peachtree Park
neighborhood across GA400 and ensuring the loading area does not feel like the back of house for this significant point of entry.
The committee recommends the designer develop an interim facing for the eastern elevation of the parking deck to enhance the aesthetic
quality until such time as the second phase of the development is constructed.
The committee notes that the Bloomingdales signage on the parking deck will likely not be allowed as it is off-site advertising and while
this is not the purview of the DRC recommends the designer look into this consideration.
The committee recommends the designer pay particular attention to facilitating the PATH400 connectivity to the Lenox MARTA station and
incorporate landscaping that provides a pleasant experience and enhances the current sidewalk along GA400.
The committee recognizes issues related to the designation of a major sidewalk frontage since Lenox Square Parkway is a private road. The
committee is in agreement that this roadway is the appropriate sidewalk frontage.
Transportation Management Plan – Sec 16-18L.018 – developments over 50,000 of gross leasable floor area are required to become
members of the Transportation Management Association (BATMA).
The committee recommends the inclusion of a robust recycling program, such as a valet service, that makes it very easy for residents to
recycle.
The committee recommends the incorporation of public art into the development – particularly along the access to the MARTA station.
Bicycle Parking – Sec 16-18L.017 – Bicycle parking – one space for every 5 units maximum of 50. 50 spaces should be provided.
Additionally, this is a site anticipated incorporate bike sharing facilities to serve the PATH400 trail.
16-18.007(4) – a Pet walk area a minimum of 500 square feet must be provided.
The committee looks forward to seeing the next versions of these plans upon further refinement and recommends the developer coordinate with
Peachtree Park neighborhood as well.

Description: New restaurant on the northwest corner of Lenox Square (facing Peachtree Road) in the previous Clubhouse space with expanded
outdoor dining area.
Click the image to download all documents:
Applicant: Cindy Silver
SAP#:
Variation Requested: The committee notes the code requirement Section 16-18L.010(4) which establishes height requirements (max 42”) and
requirements for the fence to be open (60%). The committee cannot determine the height from the plans presented and recommends the City
ensure these requirements are satisfied.
In order to maintain a satisfactory amount of pedestrian accessibility surrounding the proposed development, the committee recommends the
northeast corner of the development adjacent to the valet operation be modified to allow more pedestrian circulation space. It is suggested that the
corner of the building be chamfered, curved or indented to facilitate this change. The canopy may remain in place as long as support column does
not encroach on the sidewalk clear zone.
It is requested that the applicant provide documents which provide the context of the site more coherently.

Project Description: New Construction. The proposed development is in the early design stages. It is a 560,000 sf commercial office
development with supporting retail restaurant in the lobby. This building is the final phase of the original master plan which was subject to a DRI
analysis. The proposed square footage is under the threshold necessary for the DRI so does not trigger additional analysis. There are 19 levels of
office, 10 levels of parking with 4 levels below the plaza grade. The building is oriented to face the plaza serving Alliance Center One and
Alliance Center Two (which are under separate ownership). The applicant notes they plan to come under the requirements of the new SPI-12 code
and plan to seek LEED Gold certification. The maximum height allowable is 377 feet and the proposed building is under that. The exterior of the
building will have faceted glass to give it a “sparkle” effect. There are two points of vehicular access to Stratford Road and the main point of
access to Lenox road through the shared plaza. The parking deck connects directly to the Two Alliance Center deck.

Recommendations Regarding Variations: Sec 16-18L.016(4) – The committee noted the significant visual impact of the parking deck on
Stratford Road as well as the direct visibility from neighboring Post Apartments and suggested aggressive and creative screening be pursued for
the parking deck.
The committee noted a desire to incorporate public art into the development – particularly in the visible green areas along Lenox Road and
potentially as a screening element for the parking deck per the comment above.
Section 16-18L.011 (2) The committee noted the need to meet the fenestration (65%) requirements along Lenox Road.
Section 16-18L.009 (Table 5) Primary streetscape must be satisfied for Lenox Road. 5 foot amenity zone, 15 foot walk zone, 30 foot street tree
spacing and 60 foot street light spacing.
Section 16-18L.007 (7) - the committee noted the requirement for the building tower to “step back” in the upper levels from the base SHOULD
the floor plate exceed 30,000. This requirement is currently not triggered with the proposed 25,000 footprint, however, should the floor plate
change this could become a consideration.
Section 16-18L.011(c)(ii) The committee noted the need to incorporate an 18 foot street level height.
Section 16-18L.011(c) The committee noted the need to incorporate active sidewalk level uses along Lenox Road. The applicant indicated this
was the intention with restaurant and retail spaces.
Section – 18L.014 (3) – Sidewalk materials must be continuous across driveway aprons and curb cuts.
Section 16-18L.011(3) – Fenestration requirements along Stratford road are 25% where there is direct frontage, but not where the parcel is
separated from the street by the Paramount property.
Section 16-18L.016 (6) – 3% of the parking spaces must be reserved and marked for carpool and 2% must be reserved and marked for vanpool. It
is important to note that vanpool spaces need to be located where the height restrictions do not prohibit 15-footpassenger van access.
Section 16-18L.018 – The applicant must prepare and submit a Transportation Management Plan to BATMA to demonstrate how alternative
modes of travel will be supported.
Section 16-18L.017 – The development must incorporate bicycle parking per Table 10. Greater of 2 spaces or 1 space per 4,000sf no more than 50
spaces.
Recommended Changes: The committee noted the importance of connectivity to the new MARTA platform and expressed significant concern
about providing a positive and easily accessible pedestrian experience in making this connection. The proposed design does not currently
maximize the potential of this connectivity.
The committee noted concerns about the amount of traffic pressure on Stratford Road and subsequently the intersection with Peachtree Road.
They suggested direct coordination with the Community Improvement District to facilitate intersection improvements as well as working with
Councilman Howard Shook to craft legislation to ensure impact fees paid for the development address this specific intersection.
Suggested Considerations: The committee recommends the applicant consider taking advantage of Section 16-18L.016(7)
Section 16-18L.016 Transit Station Area. Within the transit station areas, off-street parking spaces shall be permitted to be reserved and
designated as “Transit Access Only” parking. The allocations of such spaces shall be permitted without limit and shall be coordination with the
Buckhead Area Transportation Management Association.
The committee recommends the applicant coordinate with Livable Buckhead on the community-wide recycling program.
The committee suggested the applicant explore providing increased left turn stacking ability to facilitate the movement of traffic onto Lenox Road
accessing GA400.
The committee requests this applicant return to the DRC once more detail is available and these concerns have been addressed.

Recommendations Regarding Variations: Section 16-18L.011(c) The committee noted the need to incorporate active sidewalk level uses along
Roxboro Road.
Section – 18L.014 (3) – Sidewalk materials must be continuous across driveway aprons and curb cuts.
Recommendations for Changes: The committee expressed a very strong desire to incorporate at least minimal amounts of retail to support basic
residential functions to position the development as a less automobile dependent configuration. The committee does not agree with the applicant’s
position that this small scale retail would not be supported by the market. Several recent examples of comparable projects where this has been
done successfully are currently under development in the City, including 280 Elizabeth Street in Inman Park and MARTA’s King Memorial transit
Station. The committee strongly encourages the applicant to reconsider their position.

The committee notes that Public Works might have an issue regarding the separation distance between the curb cuts on East Paces Ferry Road as
they appear too close together.
Suggested Considerations: The committee notes that the block is very long and suggests the applicant consider enhancing the architectural
emphasis of the articulation in the façade to help break up the visual impact of the development. Emphasizing the height difference between the
sections is one suggested consideration.
The committee recommends the applicant coordinate with the Buckhead Community Improvement District to address East Paces Ferry Road and
explore options for enhancing street level pedestrian connectivity to the Lenox MARTA station.
The committee notes that the intersection of Roxboro and East Paces Ferry is a significant point of entry to Buckhead and recommends the
applicant ensure the southeastern corner of the site be addressed to maximize the experience and sense of arrival to the community.

Project Scope: New Construction. A new 6-story Marriott brand hotel under a new Spanish AC brand is being launched across the country.
The brand is described as “design forward” and “sexy,” catering to millenials. Price points are high, there is no conference/meeting space, but
there is an indoor pool and 2 levels of parking which connect at the bottom level vehicularly and for pedestrians on the top level. The proposed
development also includes a future phase of development on the Peachtree frontage with an outparcel for anticipated restaurant development
which will come before the committee separately.

Applicant: Cooper Carry – Lee Ayers
SAP#:
Recommendations Regarding Variations: Wieuca Road is the primary street for all street-space requirements, and Longleaf should be treated
as a local street. The following requirements should be satisfied.
Section 16-18L.011(3) Fenestration requirements along Longleaf/Service road are 25%
Section 16-18L.011(c) Active uses shall be provided within buildings and parking structures for the entire length of said building façade except
ingress and egress points into parking structures of loading areas. (Wieuca Road Back of House functions).
Section 16-18L.011 (5)(a) entrances shall be architecturally articulated and face, be visible from, and be directly accessible from the adjacent
public sidewalk. The use of fire escape, entrance only and exit only doors as primary entrances is prohibited. (Wieuca Road entrance).

http://livablebuckhead.com/ac-marriott-hotel-wieuca-at-peachtree/
Recommendations for Changes: The committee recommends the applicant work with Simon Properties to facilitate pedestrian connectivity
from the hotel across the Nordstrom parking deck to the mall (i.e. striping).
Suggested Considerations: The committee recommends the applicant explore opportunities to incorporate hotel signage on Phipps Boulevard at
Longleaf- within sign ordinance requirements – to facilitate accessibility and avoidance of the Wieuca Road intersection.
The committee recommends providing Buc shuttle connectivity to the extent same is consistent with the site plan. The committee recommends
that the driveway from Wiueca onto the property be permanently limited to ingress only.
The committee does not need to see the hotel back, however, when the future outparcel is developed, it will need to be presented to the committee.

Project Scope: New retail along Piedmont
Applicant: Jay Suever, HKS Architects/Cousins
SAP#: not files
Variation Requested: New construction
Description: The applicant presented plans for the addition of 5,000 sf of retail development in two levels along Piedmont Road between
Terminus 100 and the parking structure for Terminus 200. This retail is being added primarily as a solution to wind issues which currently render
the patio area unsuitable for outdoor dining as originally intended.
Recommendations Regarding Variations:
Section 16-18L.011(2)(c)(ii) Minimum sidewalk level floor to ceiling clear height shall be 18 feet. This is likely not a required variation, but

could not be verified at the time of the presentation. The committee recommends the clearance be confirmed and if not meeting the requirement,
adjusted to satisfy the requirement.
Section 16-18L.015(4) – Removal of a pedestrian walkway. The committee recommends the applicant demonstrate the specific requirements are
achieved. The committee recommends the openings through the retail to the courtyard be visually articulated and accessible in keeping with the
initial designation of this area as a pedestrian way used for block calculations and corresponding height allowances.
Section 16-18L.017 Minimum bicycle parking the greater of either two spaces or 1 space per 4,000sf. The committee recommends the applicant
satisfy this requirement.
Section 16-18L.009(4) Sidewalks. Street tree planting requirements should be satisfied. It appears that one additional tree is needed.
Section 16-18L.008 Open Space requirements. The applicant should confirm compliance with and note on plans the overall open space
requirements for the development.
Recommended Changes:
Suggested Considerations:
The committee recommends the construction materials be delivered in the morning hours to minimize disruption to rush hour and lunch time
traffic.
The committee recommends the incorporation of skylights to maintain the outdoor feel of the courtyard area.

Project Scope: Modification to Façade for new Haverty’s store
Click image to download all files:
Applicant: Stephanie Loew/Selig Kevin Curry/Mitchell Davis
SAP#: SAP 14-071
Description
Total development site 76,400sf (whole center)
Total impacted with this project 27,000 sf retail space – Haverty’s Furniture Store
Smaller footprint, new concept store with higher design catering to a more upscale demographic.
Current parking 402 on site, 382 maximum allowable
Requirements:
Sec 16-18L.011(8) – incorporate the building address on the front of the building using lettering at least 6 inches in height
Sec. 16-18L.011(4)(a) – ensure that all fenestration incorporated uses clear or tinted glass in accordance with the requirements and note this
on the plans.

presented in an effort to bring it as close as possible to compliance without major investment while improving the overall pedestrian accessibility
and aesthetics of the site.
Provide Pedestrian Connectivity from front entry to Peachtree. Eliminate parking spaces to provide a well-defined pedestrian walkway,
preferably with an accent material. Incorporate landscape along the sides and at the beginning of the path. An example for comparison is
Lenox Square’s approach to Peachtree.
Provide Pedestrian Connectivity to Piedmont. Provide a striped pedestrian crosswalk from the eastern edge of the front façade across the
side driveway that provides access to the rest of the site connecting to the sidewalk along Piedmont Road.
Minimize curb cut width – consider eliminating operational difficulties on the Piedmont entrance by extending the existing planter to a
rounded “bulb out”.
Landscape Parking Lot – maximize opportunities to provide landscaping to the existing surface parking lot including widening the existing
landscape island near the Piedmont entrance.
Sec 16-18L.017 Minimum Bicycle Parking Bicycle racks – Provide the greater of either 2 racks or 1 rack per every 4,000sf.
Sec. 16-18L.016(2) Off Street parking Requirements – Maximum 1 space per 200sf of floor area. In that the site currently exceeds the
parking requirements above, providing landscaping and pedestrian connectivity will help achieve compliance with this requirement.
Sec 16-18L.016(4) Screening – Consider planting a hedge along the Peachtree streetscape to meet the code requirements and shield the
surface parking lot from the view of the street. Where you provide pedestrian connectivity from the store to the street in the
recommendations above, break the hedge to accommodate access from the existing sidewalk along Peachtree to the internal pedestrian
circulation within the site.
Consider working with Livable Buckhead, Inc. to bring the building into the Atlanta Better Buildings Challenge program to document and
highlight energy efficiency efforts.
Loading dock hours – consider limiting these to business hours to mitigate noise issues for adjacent residents behind the development.
Consider developing a site for the installation of monumental sculpture as part of the community’s future art program – potentially in
conjunction with the pedestrian connectivity provided to Peachtree.
Consider meeting with adjacent neighborhood to the rear, Peachtree Park Civic Association to orient them to project and establish open
lines of communication.
