The property is generally located at the southwest corner of Curtis Lane and US Highway 75. The property to the north (across Curtis Lane) is zoned Corridor Commercial. The property to the west is zoned Planned Development No. 118 Single Family Residential R-7. To the south, the properties are zoned Planned Development No. 54 Corridor Commercial. To the east (across US Highway 75), the property is zoned Community Facilities.
The property is currently zoned Corridor Commercial. The applicant is requesting to change the zoning by creating a Planned Development with a base zoning of Corridor Commercial for a Target Range use, and adopting Development Regulations, a Concept Plan, and Building Elevations for the property.
The property is approximately 1.61± acres. The attached Concept Plan shows a 21,232± square foot indoor Target Range facility. The facility will include a total of 30 range lanes (at 50 yards, 25 yards, and 15 yards), an office/administrative area, two classrooms, and a retail component.
To accommodate the building on the site, the northern (front) and southern (rear) setbacks will be modified as shown on the Concept Plan. A 10' landscape buffer is required along Curtis Lane. Four feet of the buffer will be on the property and the remaining six feet of the buffer will be within the right-of-way. As the entire 10' buffer requirement is not on the site, the six feet within the right-of-way will be accounted for on the property with enhanced landscaping, subject to the Parks and Recreation Department.
Parking and Landscaping meet ALDC standards. A 5' sidewalk exists along US Highway 75 and is proposed along Curtis Lane.
There are two (2) points of access into the property; both on Curtis Lane. Driveway throat depths will be modified as indicated on the Concept Plan.
The building will be one (1) story with a maximum height of 35'. Primary building materials include concrete and stone.
The development regulations include design standards to establish the Planned Development, including the additional permitted use, setbacks, landscape buffer, driveway throat depths, and detention requirements.
The applicant has conducted two meetings with residents in the neighboring Ansley Meadows HOA. Attached is the applicant's response to the concerns raised at these meetings. Building section cuts and an acoustic study are also attached to supplement the response to these concerns.
The request has been reviewed by the Technical Review Committee.
The item was tabled at the October 17, 2017, Planning and Zoning Commission meeting.
The applicant made no changes subsequent to that meeting.
On November 7, 2017, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended denial of the request.
