PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN & REPORT

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

The Public Participation Plan is to ensure that applicants pursue early and effective public participation in

conjunction with their petitions, ensure that the citizens of the City of Johns Creek have an adequate

opportunity to learn about petitions that may affect them, and to ensure ongoing communication between

applicants, adjoining property owners, environmentally stressed communities, community associations and

other organizations, elected officials and City staff. Potentially affected parties should be discussed by the

applicant and current planner at the time of the pre-application review. Applicants are required to submit a

Public Participation Plan for meeting with interested citizens to advise of pending rezoning/use permit

applications and to allow citizens the opportunity to discuss concerns and provide input about project design or

development. An

applicant's responsibilities are to inform the public, solicit input, and provide a summary of these activities in

the form of a written report (Public Participation Report).

The City of Johns Creek will host a Public Participation Meeting for every land use petition, which will count

towards the applicant’s required public participation plan. The meetings will be held approximately 1 month

after the filing deadline. The applicant is required to attend the meeting to present their project to public and

answer questions that may arise. The City of Johns Creek will mail a postcard notification to all property

owners within ¼ mile to notify them of the Public Participation Meeting, the Planning Commission hearing, and

Mayor & City Council hearing. While the City of Johns Creek will be hosting a Public Participation

Meeting for the land use petition, the applicant is welcome to set up additional community meetings to

ensure the citizens of the City of Johns Creek have adequate opportunity to participate in the land use

petition process. Please note that applicants are highly encouraged to meet with nearby properties

prior to filing an application.

The requirement for a Public Participation Plan does not give communities decision making powers or force a

consensus on issues. Applicants are not obligated to make any concessions or changes based upon input

from citizens. A refusal by the community to meet with applicants does not mean that the applicants fail to

meet the requirements of the Public Participation Plan.

The Public Participation Plan must be filed simultaneously with the application. The Public Participation Report

is required to be filed no later than seven (7) calendar days after to the Public Participation Meeting.

LAND USE PETITION APPLICATION PAGE 11 UPDATED 12/19/2019

THRESHOLDS FOR ADDITIONAL STUDIES, REPORTS AND FORMS

Traffic Impact Study: Traffic Impact Studies are required upon submittal as per the thresholds and

criteria located in the Traffic Impact Study Guidelines. The need to conduct a Traffic Impact Study (T. I.

S.) is based on the land use and size of the development. More specifically, a T. I. S. is required when

the development generates approximately 100 trips during the peak hour. For mixed-use developments,

a Traffic Impact Study is required when the combined trips generated by the individual land uses exceed

100 trips per peak hour.

A Traffic Impact Study may also be required at the discretion of the City Traffic Engineer where site

conditions indicate:

• Existing traffic problems or congestion,

• Negative impacts on adjacent developments,

• The development proposes a deviation from City of Johns Creek standards, or

• Other local issues that may be present.

Metropolitan River Protection: If the property is within 2,000 linear feet of the natural riverbank of the

Chattahoochee River, it is part of the Chattahoochee River Corridor and subject to a Metropolitan River

Protection Act Review. Applicants must complete the appropriate letter/form and submit it with all

rezoning/use permit applications. The letter/form is available from the Department of Community

Development.

Development of Regional Impact (DRI): The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has formulated

development thresholds as listed on the next page. When a development meets or exceeds the

thresholds, the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) and the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority

(GRTA) shall review the project concurrently. Applicants shall first file the rezoning/use permit request

with the City of Johns Creek. After the ARC/GRTA findings are complete, the rezoning/use permit will be

placed on the next available appropriate agenda. It is the applicant’s responsibility to contact and follow

all ARC and GRTA review procedures. For details contact the ARC at

https://atlantaregional.org/community-development/comprehensive-planning/developments-of-regional-

impact/ and GRTA at http://www.srta.ga.gov/programs-projects/dev-of-regional-impact/ or at 404-463-

3100.

Environmental Impact Report: Any rezoning to M-1A or M-1 or specific use categories identified in

Article 19.4 of the Zoning Ordinance, as may be deemed environmentally adverse, shall include an

Environmental Impact Report as part of the rezoning/use permit process.

Noise Study report: Any rezoning/use permit located in an area exceeding a DNL of 65dBA within 500

feet of a principal arterial and/or expressway; within 750 feet of an active railroad line; or within the

Hartsfield-Jackson Airport Noise Contours must submit a Noise Study Report.
