The applicant is proposing the development of three R-65 single family building lots with the construction of three new homes. City of Norcross Mayor & Council – November 17, 2014. Page 1 Zoning The existing zoning for the subject parcel (6254 307-6254 320) is R-100. The adjacent parcels are zoned R-100, R-75, and OI. The site is currently being utilized for two rental properties. PROJECT LOCATION In accordance with section 115-316, referencing procedures in section 115-310 and 115-311 in the zoning ordinance, this rezoning request requires a public hearing. The rezoning application initially requires review and recommendation for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. All public hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the Georgia Open Meetings Law (O.C.G.A. § 50-14-1 et seq.). Site Analysis The parcel indicated on the map above, outlined in red, is zoned R-100 and has two existing rental properties with a shared drive. The adjacent properties on the same block are in a variety of zones. The immediately adjacent lot on the west is zoned OI. The residential lots on the east are R-100 and on the south the lots are R-75. The two structures that exist on the site are rental properties constructed in 1983. They have a shared drive off of Holcomb Bridge and are located on high ground above two blue line streams. The streams are subject to buffering as waters of the state and as such require a 25’ state buffer which is to be undisturbed and an additional city buffer City of Norcross Mayor & Council – November 17, 2014. Page 2 that is 25’ undisturbed and 25’ where no impervious surface is allowed. There is a requirement for a Stream Buffer Variance for site disturbance as a part of this application. The site plan provided by the applicant shows the removal of the existing driveway which is running through both of the city required buffers and is paralleling the required State buffer. The new plan places the bulk of the driveway in the in the outside 25 foot City buffer. The balance of the development is located outside the stream buffers. The Applicant is proposing the re-subdivision of the property into three single family lots under the R-65 zoning. The homes are proposed for the high ridgeline which runs through the center of the property. The access to the homes will be through a shared driveway with cross access easements. This plan will minimize the driveway cuts from three to one on the Holcomb Bridge frontage. The proposed site plan and examples of proposed homes are below. City of Norcross Mayor & Council – November 17, 2014. Page 3 City of Norcross Mayor & Council – November 17, 2014. Page 4 Staff Recommendation The applicant is requesting the approval of the request for rezoning to R-65. While R65 is a departure from the single family areas around the site this location encompasses a total area of 51,725 sf with a proposed average lot size of 17,241 sf which places the proposed development in the same density category as R-100. The relocation of the driveway as shown greatly reduces the impacts to the stream as compared to the existing condition. Staff recommends approval with the following conditions: 1. The project shall be developed in accordance with the site plan by Georgia Civil dated 10/02/2014. 2. The Developer will comply with the requirements of the City’s site development ordinances. 3. The Developer will construct the new drive utilizing pervious paving material as a condition of approval. 4. The proposed homes shall be consistent with the Architectural and Site Design Standards of the City of Norcross 5. Prior to any construction on the site the Developer shall provide architectural plans for the homes and complete site development plans including: a- The location of the proposed structures, driveways, patios and other site features. b- The grading and drainage, tree preservation, tree protection and landscape plan for the proposed home sites. c- Complete utility service plans for the lots showing plan and profiles of the service pipes as needed. 6. The applicant shall coordinate all needed approvals with Gwinnett County Fire Marshal and Water & Sewer prior to the issuance of a Building Permit. 7.

Neal Castleberry BDP2 Management, LLC 5333 Bells Ferry Rd., Suite 202 Acworth, GA 30102 Petitioner’s Request Operation of a Retail Store/Pawn Shop Vicinity Map SITE OF SUP2014-0002 The subject parcel (6213 009) is within the Indian Village Shopping Center. The center contains a mixture of uses including restaurants, professional offices and the new Tiny City of Norcross Mayor & Council Meeting – Nov. 17, 2014. Page 1 Town facility. The center is a typical one story brick building with a pedestrian arcade with outlot uses. Zoning The site is located on the southeast corner of the intersection of Indian Trail and Beaver Ruin. The property is zoned C-2 General Business. This district is intended to provide spaces in appropriate locations along major roads for commercial uses. The use of property within this district for a Pawn Shop requires the issuance of a Special Use Permit. Furthermore, in accordance with section 115-316, referencing procedures in section 115-310 and 115-311 in the zoning ordinance, this special use request requires a public hearing. The Special Use Permit initially requires review and recommendation for approval by the Planning and Zoning Board. All public hearings shall be conducted in accordance with the Georgia Open Meetings Law (O.C.G.A. § 50-14-1 et seq.). Analysis The applicant BDP2 Management, LLC DBA Big Deal Pawn states in the letter of intent the proposed use is for a Pawn Shop and Retail Store. The applicant also states that they will accept general merchandise for pawn or to sell. They also indicate that they will be stocking general merchandise for sale. While A Pawn Shop is a permitted use with the issuance of a Special Use Permit there are concerns about the juxtaposition of the Pawn Shop use with the new Tiny Town facility. Tiny Town caters to children and families and the business represents a major investment in the center which could be a precursor to additional commercial and professional uses that would serve a family oriented market. The inclusion of a Pawn Shop in the mix may be an issue for further improvement in the center along those lines. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that if the Planning & Zoning Board wishes to approve this Special Use Permit Application for the use of a Pawn Shop the following conditions should be applied: 1. The Special Use Permit is only approved for the use of a business operating as a pawn shop and general merchandise sales company. 2. This Special Use Permit is issued on behalf of BDP2 Management, LLC, dba Big Deal Pawn & Shop., and exists exclusively for the use/occupancy of that applicant, and expires upon the vacancy of the tenant by BDP2 Management, LLC 3. No additional businesses may be operated in the suite except the use proposed by the applicant. 4. Applicant shall follow established procedures for obtaining a business license. 5. The applicant shall apply for a Building Permit if construction is proposed. City of Norcross Mayor & Council Meeting – Nov. 17, 2014. Page 2 6. The Applicant shall fulfill all the conditions of Chapter 8, Article VII. Pawnbrokers in the Norcross Code of Ordinances prior to being issued any business license to operate within the city. 7.

LAY OF THE LAND: In the last thirty years, the Atlanta metropolitan’s immigrant population has increased by 425%. Regionally, and nationally, the image of a city that embraces its immigrant communities is very important, and it is time to seek a more integrated scale of planning for immigrant communities. Norcross is at the nexus of new immigration in Georgia, as it has expanded post initial 1970s refugee resettlements into the older housing stock along Buford Highway. Recent immigrant booms and ethnic entrepreneurship have fueled residential and economic growth in the area but also migrated further north along the corridor into Gwinnett County. Author: Anna Kim. Map of immigrant growth in the Atlanta Metropolitan Statistical Area Data Sources: ACS PUMS, ESRI/TIGER Spanish language speaking neighborhoods in Southeast Atlanta (central city) declined over the 1990s, while the percentage of Spanish speakers in suburban Atlanta neighborhoods grew. Gwinnett county is perhaps the current poster child of new levels of Georgian diversity, where “nearly one in four residents is foreign-born…different from other metro counties because its minority make up is a more balanced mix of black, Hispanic, and Asian” (Pickel, AJC, 2008). The highest growth in absolute numbers came to suburban Spanish language suburbs in Atlanta. Where Latinos are the largest foreign-born group in Atlanta, Asians are the fastest growing group, with the Korean population alone estimated at 100,000. Many Koreans have made Norcross both a center for community, and a place of economic investment and opportunity. In addition to being home to Hyundai’s construction equipment site (approximately $10 million invested), Norcross was also chosen as the 2014 location for the Korean Cultural Center at 5900 Anna Joo Kim, 2014 Brook Hollow Parkway, where business leader Mr. Baik Kim fundraised over $1.5 million dollars from the Korean community in just 8 months to build it. The city is already an important place of commerce and industry, and becoming even more culturally vibrant. Hong Kong Supermarket and the Vietnamese Community Center are a draw for the diverse Asian community, another reason why many service organizations have chosen to operate out of the Norcross. Rapid population growth from both Asian and Latino immigrants have led to wonderful contributions to the diversity of Norcross, and in general, these two groups will lead residential growth in Gwinnett County and Atlanta metro for a long time to come. As growth happens, we at Georgia Tech propose strategic, smart growth, to accompany the efforts of residential and business leaders from those communities. CONTENT OF PROJECT: (Purpose, Products and Deliverables) Although diversity has led the region’s growth, it is important for cities to understand these emergent communities, new challenges, and growth opportunities along two parallel topics of immigrant integration: 1) Civic Engagement and Increased Community Participation 2) Economic Development and Small Business Growth The two arms will examine the immigrant community’s needs and strengths from both a residential, and business perspective. a. Data collection and analysis on Hispanic/Latino and Asian housing preferences and employment outcomes (BLS; ACS PUMS 2000-2010). b. Interviews with business owners will be led by studio students to collect primary source data on challenges and benefits of entrepreneurship and economic development along the Buford Highway corridor. There is intense business activity clustered along the I-75/85 and GA-400, and “the pattern of Hispanic and Asian self-employment by workplace coincides with their residential concentration…the correlation between ethnic residential concentration and selfemployment spatial clustering suggests that ethnic communities may provide certain resources such as ethnic market, labor and even capital to the development of ethnic businesses” (Wang and Walcott, 2010, p. 330, 331). c. Spring 2015 Graduate Student Studio – Approved at Georgia Tech, possible client partners include City of Norcross. Current Title: “Planning with Immigrant Communities” The studio team will conduct a comprehensive analysis of Hispanic/Latino residential clustering, community needs, and economic development opportunities. Should this proposal be funded, we anticipate a partnership among three target clients: Latino American Association, City of Norcross, and Gwinnett County CIDs. GT/SCARP students will play an important role in understanding the process of change, across cultural differences in these areas and translating them into recommendations for strategic improvements. Tech has provided Dr. Kim with $10,000 in funds for this project (to be used for initial data collection and research design). Anna Joo Kim, 2014 d. Report and Recommendations: Deliverable: Survey of needs and assets, and Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Threats (SWOT) analysis of immigrant communities with focus on various Asian and Hispanic/Latino groups, acknowledging and understanding that there is great diversity within the community. This studio will aid the City of Norcross in understanding the strengths of immigrant contributions and the needs of Georgia’s growing Asian and Latino constituents in order to produce an informed strategic plan – thus helping Atlanta metro to keep pace with cities and counties that have already implemented their own plans for immigrant integration (Chicago, 2012; NYC, 2013). Budget: $15,000 requested. Including matching funds, total budget: $25,000. Budget Line Item Description $17,500 Studio/ Outreach to relevant business and residential organizations, socialStaffing Fees service organizations, and city agencies. Analysis of Census data (population and economic), minority business database, and other secondary datasets with particular attention to year of immigration, non-Citizen immigrants, and ethnic differences. $5500 Research Spanish-speaking GRA to conduct in-depth interviews with ethnic assistance businesses & translate survey instrument into Spanish. $2000 Stipends, Business owner interviews, stipends for participation. Travel and Printing and materials costs. Materials Time period of performance and schedule. Time Period Goal October-November 2014 Outreach to potential partners: Dr. Kim has met with Mayor Bucky Johnson, and Gwinnett Village CID, both parties are interested in participating in a county-scale analysis of immigrant communities. December 2014 Finalize research design and methods. Translation of materials January 2015 Launch of small-scale ethnographic study of Atlanta metro Asian and Hispanic/Latino experiences (via business owners and associations). February 2015 Outreach to service and advocacy organizations at the forefront of discussions on how Georgia is doing on issues of immigrant integration (e.g. AALAC, CPACS, Georgia Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition, Georgia Latino Alliance for Human Rights, Freedom University Georgia).

UFA is the result of the merger of two neighboring soccer clubs: Atlanta Soccer Academy and Forsyth Fusion Soccer Club in 2010 and later Norcross Soccer Academy in 2014. UFA competes against other clubs within the state through Georgia Soccer, abiding by guidelines set forth by this organization. In addition to this competition, many of our travelling teams successfully participate in regional tournaments and the Region 3 Premier League (R3PL) which operates throughout the Southeastern United States. UFA is devoted to providing a developmental structure along with quality instruction for children ages 3-18. In order to experience the game of soccer at every level, we offer various programs within the club: recreational, academy, select and TOPSoccer; which encompass each child’s soccer potential. We also offer an adult league for people over the age of 18. UFA functions under the belief that the true value of success in soccer lies through the overall development of the individual player’s soccer skills (technical, tactical, physical and psychological) as opposed to the result of each game. To allow each player to develop at his or her own pace, we operate under the club system utilized around the world in which every player in each age group has the opportunity to reach their full potential. UFA wants to be successful in creating an organization that sustains the club over time, contributes to the community, and provides valuable life experiences for young players. Our Locations The United Futbol Academy (UFA) now has programs at the following locations: - Forsyth - Norcross - Dawson - Lumpkin Click on each location to learn more about the programs. Mission Statement United Futbol Academy’s (UFA) mission is to provide soccer players of all ages the appropriate level of play and training in a supportive environment where skills for soccer are developed alongside skills for life. Our goal is to promote the game of soccer by providing a positive learning atmosphere, where players can achieve their full potential in the development of their technical, tactical, physical and mental skills, regardless of skill and ability. Our purpose is to create challenging programs that are attractive to the novice player, challenging to the average player, and demanding to the most advance player wanting to play at the highest level. We want to develop a multicultural organization with a vast array of staff and players to further enhance the culture of the game in an environment that is professional yet enjoyable.

Responders were asked to identify categories of service for which they wished to be considered. 60 firms replied. An evaluation team of three staff was established. The staff members are the Director of Public Works (DPW), the Director of Community Development (DCD), and the City Engineer (CE). The eight categories of services anticipated to be needed: 1. Surveying 2. Site Development Engineering & Landscape Architecture 3. Environmental Engineering 4. Transportation & Traffic Engineering 5. Geotechnical Engineering & Materials Testing 6. Structural Engineering 7. Architectural Design 8. Construction Management The basis of scoring was: 45% ‐Qualifications 45% ‐Experience 10% ‐Proposed Fees With 60 firms to evaluate and 8 categories, there are many approaches that can be taken to evaluate and score the firms. The level of service selected was to identify at most three firms per category. With this level of service, the city can retain a service by soliciting the firms in that service category (SC) for a competitive proposal or can alternate firms in a category by going sole source and using the published fees in the proposals submitted, depending on the circumstances of the particular project.

They specialize in the sale of locally produced craft beers from independent small local brewers. A Growler Shop will have a number of taps, sometimes 35-40 that each are dedicated to a specific brand of beer. The customer purchases a personal small keg, which is called a Growler, and they come to the Shop and purchase their beer selection. With each purchase the shop may either sterilize the customer’s personal growler or exchange it for one that is full of the beer of choice. A Growler Shop will have tasting events where customers can come and try selections of craft beers but they do not generally sell beer for on site consumption. The retail element of the stores can have various sized Growler containers, Home Brewing Kits, and or possibly some food items. The basic business is the sale of the beer to be consumed off site by the purchaser. The Growler Shop is licensed under a sub-heading to the Alcohol Ordinance which has a much lower retail/food element than a restaurant or bar would have. I am enclosing an example of a good ordinance from Flowery Branch. It is simple and to the point. 65 LAWRENCEVILLE ST., NORCROSS, GEORGIA 30071 (678) 421-2069 FAX (770) 770-255-2335 http://www.norcrossga.net • Sec. 8-164. - Growlers. Package malt beverage licensees, who are not also licensed to sell distilled spirits by the package, may fill growlers with draft beer at the licensed location subject to the following requirements: (1) Either at least 90 percent of the licensee's total gross sales are from the packaged sale of malt beverages and/or wine or the licensee's premises have a minimum of 400 square feet of floor space dedicated to the display of malt beverages offered for sale. (2) A growler shall not exceed 64 ounces. (3) Growlers may only be filled from kegs procured by the licensee from a duly licensed wholesaler. (4) Only professionally sanitized and sealed growlers may be filled and made available for retail sale. (5) Each growler must be securely sealed and removed from the premises in its original sealed condition. (6) Consumption on the premises is strictly prohibited. However, samples of tap beers may be made available without a malt beverage tasting license, but shall not exceed one ounce nor shall any one individual be offered more than three samples within a calendar day.
