SITE PLAN ANALYSIS:
Based on the applicant's site plan submitted to the Department of Environment and Community Development on September 27, 2006, Staff offers the following considerations:
The applicant is proposing to rezone the
subject site from R-3 (Residential) to R-6 (Residential) and obtain a Use
Permit for a group home to develop a teenage pregnancy center for 10 school age
girls. The proposed center will consist
of 10,000 square feet at a density of 8,084.08 square feet per acre. A house manager will also live at the
facility.
Pursuant to Article 19.4.20, group
residences are allowed in R-6 (Residential) zoning districts. In Staff's opinion, the proposed group home
should be similar and compatible in style and size with existing residential
uses in the surrounding area. Properties
to the west, east and southeast of the subject site are zoned R-3 (Residential)
and developed with single family residences.
Staff also notes that directly across the street from the site is
existing single family residences within the City limits of
Since Staff is recommending a smaller
building, a reduction in the maximum number of occupants allowed to reside in
the facility would also be appropriate.
Staff notes that the Board of Commissioners has previously approved
group residences for six (6) girls in residential areas pursuant to 2001Z -0052 SFC and 2001U -0016 SFC along
Given Staff's recommendation to limit the
number and age of residents in the proposed facility there is another group
home use permit which better reflects Staff's recommendation. Article
19.4.20(1) of the Fulton County Zoning Resolution allows a use permit for a
group residence for children (under the age of 17) with a minimum number of
five (5) children and not exceeding a total of eight (8) children. This use permit unlike the one requested by
the applicant per Article 19.4.20 is a permitted use within the R-3
(Residential) zoning district. Staff shall recommend a substitute approval of
the use permit request to reflect the less intense group home use permit
pursuant to Article 19.4.20(1). This substitute recommendation negates the
requirement for a rezoning of the subject site to the more intense R-6
(Residential) district. Therefore, Planning Staff recommends DENIAL of petition 2006Z -0108 SFC for
the request to rezone from R-3 (Residential) to R-6 (Residential).
The building setbacks for the teen pregnancy center are as follows:
25 feet along
7 feet along interior east and west property lines (Article 7.1.3.C)
20 feet along the north (rear) property line (Article 7.1.3.D)
Staff notes that the submitted site plan does not indicate required setbacks but it appears the site can accommodate the minimum required setbacks.
If approved per Staff's recommendation the applicant will be required to meet the development standards of the existing R-3 (Residential) zoning.
Article 19.4.20.B.3 of the Fulton County Zoning Resolution states that landscape strips and buffers required for the O-I (Office-Institutional) zoning district must be applied to the proposed teen pregnancy center. Therefore the following is required:
20-foot wide front landscape
strip along
25-foot wide undisturbed buffer with an additional 10-foot improvement setback along the east and west property lines
50-foot wide undisturbed buffer with an additional 10-foot improvement setback along the north property line.
Staff's substitute recommendation for the less intense group home for children pursuant to Article 19.4.20(1) does not require any additional landscape requirements given the intended residential character of the permitted use.
The applicant is requesting the following two-part concurrent variance:
Part 1 - Reduce the 25-foot
buffer and 10-foot improvement setback to a 5-foot landscape strip planted to
buffer standards along the east property line. (Article 4.23.1)
Part 2- Reduce the 25-foot
buffer and 10-foot improvement setback to a 5-foot landscape strip planted to
buffer standards along the west property line. (Article 4.23.1)
Given that Staff is recommending a substitute use permit for a group home for children that would not require any additional landscape buffers, Staff recommends WITHDRAWAL of Parts 1 and 2 of the concurrent variance.
Article 18.2.1 of the Zoning
Resolution requires custodial care facilities to provide 2.5 parking spaces per
1,000 gross square feet of building area.
Based on the proposed 10,000 square foot building, the applicant is
required to provide 25 parking spaces.
Staff notes that the submitted site plan does not show or indicate the
number of required parking spaces.
However, the Letter-of-Intent does state that the location and number of
off-street parking spaces will be met as the proposed site will share parking
with
ENVIRONMENT
The Environmental Site Analysis
Report is sufficient and satisfies the requirement of the Fulton County Zoning
Resolution. A field survey of the site was conducted by
Given that the location of the proposed teen pregnancy center is within a residential community, Staff is of the opinion that the building height shall be limited to 2 stories and the structure shall be residential in appearance and style. Staff shall include this in the attached Recommended Conditions.
FINDINGS:
(Article 28.4.1) Planning Staff shall, with respect to each zoning application, investigate and make a recommendation with respect to factors A. through G., below, as well as any other factors it may find relevant.
A.
WHETHER THE ZONING PROPOSAL WILL
PERMIT A USE THAT IS SUITABLE IN VIEW OF THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADJACENT
AND NEARBY PROPERTY.
FINDING: The rezoning to the R-6 (Residential) district for the teen pregnancy center as proposed by the applicant is not compatible with existing single family residences in the area.
B.
Whether the zoning proposal will adversely affect the existing use
or usability of adjacent or nearby property.
FINDING: It is Staff's
opinion that the scale and character of the teen pregnancy center as
proposed by the applicant may adversely affect
adjacent and nearby residential uses.
C. WHETHER THE PROPERTY TO BE AFFECTED BY THE ZONING PROPOSAL HAS A REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE AS CURRENTLY ZONED.
FINDING: The subject site may have a reasonable use as currently zoned.
D. WHETHER THE ZONING PROPOSAL WILL RESULT IN A USE WHICH WILL OR COULD CAUSE AN EXCESSIVE BURDENSOME USE OF EXISTING STREETS, TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES, UTILITIES, OR SCHOOLS.
FINDING: Staff is of the opinion that the teen pregnancy center as proposed by the applicant may generate an increase in traffic. However, with the incorporation of the attached Recommended Conditions, Staff does not anticipate a significant impact on public facilities and utilities.
E. WHETHER THE ZONING PROPOSAL IS IN CONFORMITY WITH THE POLICIES AND INTENT OF THE LAND USE PLAN.
FINDING: The teen pregnancy center as requested by the applicant is inconsistent with the intent of the 2025 Comprehensive Land Use Plan and the following plan policies:
LAND USE PLAN MAP: Residential - 2 to 3 units per acre
Proposed
use/density:
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Map suggests residential at 2 to 3 units per acre north, east and south of the
subject site.
PLAN POLICY: The applicant's proposed use is inconsistent with
the following Plan policies:
Provide for the transition of land uses from higher to lower densities and between different land uses.
Encourage appropriate infill development, in residential areas, consistent with neighborhood preservation, transitional uses, and other Comprehensive Plan policies.
Encourage appropriate building heights which are compatible with the surrounding area and are consistent with transitional and other land use policies.
Provide for the establishment of permanent buffers separating community services, residential neighborhoods and other areas of low intensity use from high intensity uses, activity nodes and high volume major highways.
Institutional uses located in existing residential neighborhoods should adhere to established development standards as well as neighborhood preservation, transitional use and other Comprehensive Plan policies, in order to mitigate potential adverse effects.
F. WHETHER
THERE ARE OTHER EXISTING OR CHANGING CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE USE AND
DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY WHICH GIVE SUPPORTING GROUNDS FOR EITHER APPROVAL
OR DISAPPROVAL OF THE ZONING PROPOSAL.
FINDING: There are no
conditions affecting the use of this property.
G. WHETHER
THE ZONING PROPOSAL WILL PERMIT A USE WHICH CAN BE CONSIDERED ENVIRONMENTALLY
ADVERSE TO THE NATURAL RESOURCES, ENVIRONMENT AND CITIZENS OF
FINDING: The proposed group home for
pregnant teenagers is not considered environmentally adverse affecting natural
resources, the environment, or the citizens of
BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS POLICY
Article 19.4.20 of the Zoning Resolution provided for group residences
in R-6 (Residential) and TR (Townhouse Residential) with an approved Use
Permit. Similar Use Permits for group
residences for children approved by the Fulton County Board of Commissioners
are as follows:
On July 11, 2001, pursuant to 2001Z -0052 SFC
and 2001U -0016 SFC, the Board of Commissioners approved the petitioner's
request to rezone from AG-1 (Agricultural) to R-6 (Two Family Dwelling) and for
a Use Permit for a group home in an existing structure for 6 girls ages 10 to
17 years old on
On April 7, 2004, pursuant to 2004Z -0019
SFC and 2004U -0001 SFC, the Board of Commissioners approved the petitioner's
request to rezone from R-2 (Residential) to R-6 (Two Family Dwelling) and for a
Use Permit for a 5,704 square foot group home for 6 mothers ages 13 to 17 and
their babies on Hobgood Road.
On March 2, 2005, pursuant to 2004Z -0155
and 2004U -0026 SFC, the Board of Commissioners approved the petitioner's
request to rezone from SUB A (Residential) to R-2 (Residential) and for a Use
Permit for a 1,680 square foot group home in an existing structure for 8
children on Reynolds Road.
In the interest of the public health, safety and welfare, the Board of Commissioners may exercise limited discretion in evaluating the site proposed for a use that requires a Use Permit. In exercising such discretion pertaining to the subject use, the Board of Commissioners shall consider each of the following as outlined in Article 19.2.4 of the Zoning Resolution; Use Permit Considerations. Staff has reviewed said items pertaining to the subject use, and, offers the following comments:
(1) Whether the proposed use is consistent with
the Land Use or Economic Development plans adopted by the Board of
Commissioners:
Provided the teen pregnancy center is developed per Staff's recommendation as a Group Residence for Children (Article 19.4.20(1)) for five (5) children and one (1) house manager, the proposed use would be consistent with the intent and the following plan policies of the 2025 Comprehensive.
Encourage compatible institutional uses in neighborhoods and communities.
Encourage the
expansion of community facilities that meet the needs of citizens throughout
Ensure human services programs provide appropriate resources to meet the needs of citizens.
Encourage infill development in residential areas consistent with neighborhood preservation, transition of uses, and other Comprehensive Plan policies.
(2) Compatibility with land uses and zoning districts in the vicinity of the property for which the Use Permit is proposed;
In Staff's opinion, the proposed teen pregnancy center if developed per Staff's recommendations is compatible with residential developments in the area.
(3) Whether the proposed use may violate local, state and/or federal statutes,
ordinances or regulations governing land development;
The proposed teen pregnancy center does not violate any known statutes, ordinances or regulations governing land development.
(4) The effect of the proposed use on traffic
flow, vehicular and pedestrian, along adjoining streets;
Staff is of the opinion that the proposed group home, if developed per Staff's recommendation, will not generate a significant increase in traffic. Only pregnant teenagers along with a house manager will reside in the proposed group home. Staff anticipates that this proposed use will have a minimal impact on traffic.
(5) The
location and number of off-street parking spaces;
Based on a
10,000 square foot building, Article 18 requires 25 parking spaces. As previously noted, the teenage pregnancy
center will share parking with
(6) The amount and location of open space;
The subject site is a long deep narrow lot. The proposed site plan indicates that the 10,000 square foot building will be built near the rear of the lot but required buffers will need to be reduced. However, Staff is of the opinion that more open space would be provided for the teen pregnancy center if developed per Staff's recommendations for a 5,000 square foot building under the use permit for a group residence for five (5) children per Article 19.4.20(1) of the Zoning Resolution.
(7) Protective screening;
(8) Hours and manner of operation;
The proposed use is a 24-hour operation.
(9) Outdoor lighting;
The applicant is not proposing any additional outdoor lighting. It is the applicant's intent to maintain the single family residential character of the site. Staff anticipates that the existing lighting will have a minimal impact on the surrounding properties.
(10) Ingress and egress to the property.
The site has one (1) existing curb cut to access the current single family residence. No new curb cuts are being proposed to access the teen pregnancy center.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed teen pregnancy center if
developed per Article 19.4.20(1) as recommended by Staff is consistent with
Plan and Board policies, the intent of the
2025 Comprehensive Land Use Plan and with similar group homes approved by the
Board of Commissioners. Therefore, Staff
recommends DENIAL of the
petition to rezone from R-3 (Residential) to R-6 (Residential) and APPROVAL
SUBSTITUTE: USE PERMIT, GROUP RESIDENCE FOR CHILDREN (19.4.20(1)) for a 5,000
square foot residence limited to five (5) residents and one (1) house manager subject to the attached Recommended
Conditions. Staff also recommends WITHDRAWAL of all parts of the
concurrent variance.

the following:
a. Prior to submitting the application for a (LDP) with the Department of Environment and Community Development, Development Review Division, arrange to meet with the Fulton County Traffic Engineer. A signed copy of the results of these meetings will be required to be submitted along with the application for a Land Disturbance Permit.
b. Prior to submitting the application for an LDP, arrange an on-site evaluation of existing specimen trees/stands, buffers, and tree protection zones within the property boundaries with the Fulton County Arborist. A signed copy of the results of these meetings will be required to be submitted along with the application for an LDP.
c. Prior to submitting the application for an LDP, the developer/engineer shall contact the Public Works Department, Water Services Division, and arrange to meet on-site with an engineer from the Surface Water Management Program (SWMP), who is responsible for review of Storm Water Concept Plan submittals.
d. Prior to submitting
the application for an LDP, the developer and/or engineer shall submit to the
SWMP, through the Development Review Division, a project Storm Water Concept
Plan. This concept plan shall indicate the preliminary location of the
storm water management facilities intended to manage the quality and quantity
of storm water. The concept plan shall specifically address the existing
downstream off-site drainage conveyance system(s) that the proposed development
surface runoff will impact, and the discharge path(s) from the outlet of the
storm water management facilities to the off-site drainage system(s) and/or
appropriate receiving waters. As part of the Storm Water Concept Plan
submittal, a preliminary capacity analysis shall be performed by the engineer
on the off-site drainage system(s) points of constraint. The capacity
analysis shall determine the capacity of all existing constraint points, such
as pipes, culverts, etc. from the point of storm water discharge at the
proposed development site boundary downstream to the confluence of the
receiving drainage course at a point where the drainage area is at least ten
times the proposed development site area and the next downstream drainage area
having a drainage area of fifty acres or more. The critical capacity
points shall be selected based upon the engineer's field observation,
professional judgment, and limited field survey data. The analysis shall
identify the downstream properties pre and post-development 100-year water
surface elevations, and for any post-development water surface elevation
increase exceeding 0.05 feet, the developer shall acquire the applicable
offsite drainage easement to accommodate the 100-year storm flow through
impacted properties. Where
e. Where storm water currently drains by sheet flow and it is proposed to be collected to and/or discharged at a point, such that the discharge from the storm water management facility outlet crosses a property line, such discharge shall mimic pre-development sheet flow conditions. A description of the method proposed to achieve post-development sheet flow conditions shall be provided as part of the Storm Water Concept Plan. Should the method to achieve sheet flow across an external property line be unsuccessful, the developer shall acquire an easement(s) from the point of discharge to a point down gradient at a live dry weather stream sufficient to contain the 25 year storm flow or other location as approved by the Director of Public Works. This condition will not apply when the storm water management facility is designed and approved to discharge directly to a stream or watercourse.
f. A draft of the Inspection and Maintenance Agreement required by Fulton County Code Section 26-278 shall be submitted to the Department of Public Works with the Storm Water Concept Plan.
g. The Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall provide that all storm water management/detention facility outlet control structures shall be inspected, photographed, and cleaned, if necessary, on a monthly basis, by the owner. The Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall require that the design engineer shall prepare an operation and maintenance guidance document, for use by the owner and/or any professionals retained by the owner, to plainly describe the basic operational function of the facility(ies), including a description of a permanent marker post(s) which shall indicate that the level of sediment which, if exceeded, requires sediment removal. The Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall require an annual operation and maintenance report for all storm water management/detention facilities be prepared by a licensed design professional and submitted to the SWMP. The annual report shall include monthly inspections, photographs, and documentation of the cleaning of storm water management/detention facilities outlet control structure(s) as well as an operational assessment of the facilities indicating that they do, or do not, function as described in the design guidance document (described above), and if they do not, a description of the specific actions to be taken to allow the facilities to function as intended.
h. The required Inspection and Maintenance Agreement shall be recorded with the Clerk of Superior Court prior to issuance of an LDP, Grading Permit, or Building Permit associated with the development.
i. The engineer/developer is required to submit, along with the application for an LDP, signed documentation verifying approval of the Storm Water Concept Plan.
j. Where paved parking areas (including access aisles) are proposed to exceed 5,000 square feet, the storm water management facilities shall be designed to reduce pollutants such as oil, grease and other automobile fluids that may leak from vehicles. A general description, or concept, of the storm water management facilities proposed to achieve the removal of such pollutants shall be submitted with the Storm Water Concept Plan. A detailed design of such facilities shall be included in applicable documents for a land disturbance permit.
k. With the application for an LDP, provide documentation (such as channel cross-sections, centerline profile, etc.) describing the geometry of those existing natural streams, creeks, or draws within the proposed development boundary which in the design engineer's judgment are at risk of erosion due to increased flow, provide a description of the basis utilized in judging areas to be at risk, and provide details on the Storm Water Management Plan of the post-development channel bank protection measures.
l. The developer/engineer shall demonstrate to the County by engineering analysis submitted with the LDP application, that the discharge rate and velocity of the storm water runoff resulting from the development is restricted to seventy-five percent (75%) of the pre-development conditions for the 1-year frequency storm event, up to and including the ten (10)-year frequency storm event.
m. Drainage from all disturbed areas shall be collected and conveyed to a storm water management facility provided as part of the development. The Storm Water Concept Plan shall identify any proposed areas with incidental and minor release of storm water not conveyed to such facilities, subject to the approval of the Director of Public Works. Plans for any land disturbance permit shall show all proposed drainage patterns for the proposed development after its completion. Any incidental release of unmanaged or untreated storm flows from any disturbed portion of the developed property shall be allowed only with the approval of the Director of Public Works. Other than minimal incidental flows shall be specifically approved by the Director of Public Works. Bypass flows will not be permitted except from undisturbed areas within a buffer or other protected easement. Final plans shall provide for collection, conveyance and treatment of all approved incidental flows from developed lots or parcels, individual residences or building structures.
n. Storm water management facility(ies) volumes shall be designed to achieve water quality treatment, channel protection, over bank flood protection and extreme flood protection, in accordance with the Georgia State Storm water Manual, except that the duration of release for water quality treatment shall be 48 hours.

PROJECTED IMPACT ON DEMAND FOR POLICE
SERVICES:
It is the policy of the Fulton County
Police Department to answer all calls for service regardless of the impact of a
particular development. However, two of the most noticeable indicators of the
quality of police service will be as follows: As demands for service increase,
police response time to calls will increase. Time available for proactive
neighborhood/business patrol will decrease and crime prevention efforts will
decline.
The Police Department does anticipate a
significant impact on demand for police services.
