A developer (Empire Homes) is seeking a zoning change to R-10M residential to build townhomes ranging from 3-5 bedrooms on a previously cleared property abutting Big Creek. The project has generated significant opposition from adjacent Camden Pond residents over traffic impacts, density concerns, environmental effects, and infrastructure capacity, with disputes over traffic study accuracy and the adequacy of environmental assessments.
25-231 — 195 townhomes (single-family attached housing)
This traffic impact study evaluates a proposed 195-unit townhome development at 3842 Old Milton Parkway against the existing zoning allowance for 315,000 SF of general office space. The proposed residential development would generate significantly fewer vehicle trips—51% fewer daily trips and 115% fewer trips during AM peak hour—compared to the office use currently allowed by zoning.
21-2026 — 195 attached single-family townhomes with clubhouse, pool, and community greenspaces

The project includes substantial community amenities, pedestrian connectivity to the Big Creek Greenway, and addresses the City's identified housing shortage while respecting existing environmental constraints including wetlands and challenging topography. The development is adjacent to existing townhome communities and aligns with the City's comprehensive plan goals to diversify housing and redevelop the Old Milton Parkway corridor.

18-2022 — other
This case involves an ordinance amendment establishing electric vehicle charging station (EVCS) requirements for non-residential and for-rent residential developments with 100 or more parking spaces.

A developer is seeking multiple variances for 1425 Mayfield Road to construct a gated residential community with six homes on 4.5 acres, including a reduced setback from Mayfield Road and a new street running along the western edge of the property. The project would require clearing old-growth trees, eliminating significant wildlife habitat, and introducing increased traffic, construction impacts, and infrastructure strain to an established residential neighborhood.
18-2013 — Residential development (6 units)
This rezoning application for 1425 Mayfield Road involves a six-unit residential development on property currently zoned R-15, with community concerns centered on increased traffic, tree removal, density, and stormwater management. The applicant has revised the design to include underground stormwater detention and replaced a T-shaped turnaround with a cul-de-sac in response to feedback. Multiple adjacent property owners have expressed opposition to zoning changes and variances associated with the project.
12-200 — Single family attached townhomes
This rezoning case involves approximately 8.77 acres on Brookside Parkway, requesting a change from Office-Institutional (O-I) to Mixed-Use (MU) zoning to accommodate 104 single-family attached townhomes with associated amenities including a community pool and pocket parks.

25-232 — other

The development will generate approximately 1,806 daily trips, with the study analyzing impacts at seven key intersections in the Morris Road/Windward Parkway corridor. Key findings indicate that signalized intersections will continue to operate at acceptable levels of service with marginal increases in delays, though two intersections are projected to experience LOS "F" conditions in the PM peak hour due to adjacent development traffic.
PH-25-037 — 9 single-family residential homes
This is a residential development proposal for 9 single-family homes at 75 & 91 Roswell Street with planned access via Cotton Alley. The primary community concern involves traffic circulation and egress, as Cotton Alley is one-way from Marietta Street, which would force all residential traffic through neighboring Victoria Square's private streets (Hidden Alley and Orchid Lane). Secondary concerns include construction staging impacts, guest parking adequacy, and alternative access solutions via Roswell Street.
14-2015 — Church with 128-seat worship hall and up to 16,000 square feet of commercial office or warehouse space
This case involves a proposed Spirit of God Christian Church with a 128-seat worship hall and up to 16,000 square feet of commercial office/warehouse space at 145 Nobel Court in the Windward Business Center. The application seeks a Master Plan Amendment and conditional use permit but fails to demonstrate compliance with parking requirements—the 54 available spaces appear insufficient for the combined uses, with staff recommending denial due to lack of a professional parking study. This matters to developers because it signals strict enforcement of shared parking ordinances and the requirement for detailed technical proof of non-overlapping demand before approvals.
90-907 — Church with 128 maximum seating capacity, office space for lease and church business, with planned future conversion of warehouse to worship center
A nondenominational church seeks a conditional use permit to operate at 145 Nobel Court within the Windward Business Center, a master-planned business and industrial park. The proposal requires a master plan amendment and conditional use permit, with significant community opposition from adjacent property owners and the Windward Business Center Association regarding inadequate notice and potential impact on commercial zoning restrictions.
25-224 — rezoning
Case 25-224 involves a proposed land use change on Lake Street that reduces approved office space (from 470,000 SF to 270,000 SF) and adds residential units including 25 single-family detached, 27 single-family attached, 63 low-rise multifamily, and 225 mid-rise multifamily units. The proposed change results in a 12% reduction in overall daily traffic (832 fewer trips) and significant reductions in peak-hour trips, particularly a 22% reduction in AM peak traffic.
08-2026 — 52 residential units: 25 detached townhomes and 27 attached townhomes
This master plan amendment to the Lakeview Park development exchanges 200,000 square feet of proposed office space for 52 for-sale residential units (detached and attached townhomes), reducing traffic impacts and replacing a commercial use with attainable housing. The townhomes range from 2,400-3,200 square feet starting in the $600,000s and include internal amenities and green space.
07-2026 — other
This case involves conceptual street improvements for three major corridors in Alpharetta: Mansell Road (Old Roswell Road to GA 400), Mayfield Road (Foe Killer Creek to Canton Street), and Windward Parkway (Union Hill Road to McGinnis Ferry Road). The improvements include turn lane modifications, new sidewalks, planting areas, curb and gutter work, and landscaping features that will affect traffic flow and pedestrian access along these key routes.
24-062 — Single-family residential dwelling with accessory structures (cabana, porte-cochere, casita)
This case involves an individual lot plan for a 1.34-acre residential property requesting approval of a 6,610 SF house with accessory structures in R-15 zoning. The project includes stream buffer mitigation with approximately 17,785 SF of encroachment requiring replanting and live stake installation along the creek bank. Developers should note the stringent tree preservation and buffer requirements, as well as the need for specimen tree recompense and substantial landscape screening compliance.
MP-26-13 — Georgia Power substation in conjunction with expansion of existing data center
This case seeks to amend the Royal 400 Master Plan to allow a utility substation as a conditional use on 38.8 acres currently operating as a data center. The request has been deferred by staff and will not be heard at the September 3, 2026 Planning Commission meeting.
