City of Newnan, Georgia Mayor and Council Date: April 26, 2016 Agenda Item: Text Amendment Application to the Zoning Ordinance to add Hotels/Motels in the OI-2 zoned districts as special exception uses. Prepared and Presented by: Dean Smith, Planner Purpose: To consider the text amendment application by Georgia Retail Investments, LLC to amend the Zoning Ordinance, Chapter 21, 21.090, table 21.04 pertaining to hotels/motels locating in the OI- 2 zoned districts as special exception uses.. Background: Georgia Retail Investments, LLC is requesting that the City consider amending its ordinance to allow hotels/motels as a special exception use in the OI-2 zoning districts. Currently, the zoning ordinance permits Hotels/Motels as conditional uses in the following zoning districts: Planned Development Commercial (PDC); Community Shopping Center District (CCS); Central Business District (CBD); General Commercial District (CGN); and Heavy Commercial District (CHV). Chapter 33, Sec. 33.080, (32) stipulates the conditions that must be satisfied when developing a Hotel/Motel site: a. Location Critera: Hotels, motels, and other similar traveler s accommodations, excluding travel trailer or RV parks shall be located on or with ready access to major streets. Ready access shall mean any court or service road directly linking to a major street. b. Site Development Criteria: 1. Each room within a hotel, motel or other similar traveler s accommodations (excluding travel trailer or RV Parks) shall be accessed through an interior hallway and shall not have access to the exterior of the building, except through the main or central lobby or as otherwise determined by fire codes. No guest rooms shall be accessible without passing through a secured area. 2. The main or central lobby shall be a minimum of 700 square feet with staff or management on duty 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. 3. Each guest room shall have a minimum of 300 square feet.
4. Each building shall have a minimum roof pitch or 4 in 12. 5. Any outdoor recreational areas provided shall be located to the rear of the site within all building setbacks. 6. No outside storage or permanent parking of equipment or vehicles shall be permitted. 7. Hotel or motel uses shall be separated from residential or institutional uses by a Type D Buffer as specified in the Landscape and Tree Preservation Ordinance. A Type D buffer ranges in width between 25 to 50 feet, depending upon the lot size. The foregoing conditions enumerated in Section 33.080 (32) would have to be met by any hotel/motel applicant as a component of a special exception use application in the OI-2 districts. In a brief survey of some comparable Georgia cities, staff discovered that Hotels/Motels are allowed in transitional zoning districts similar to the Office Institutional and Planned Development zoning districts in Augusta, Cartersville, Dahlonega, Holly Springs and Sandy Springs, Georgia. Holly Springs, GA has a similar process to our special exception uses procedures for hotels/motel establishments desiring to locate in one of its Office Institutional zoning districts. This application was heard by the City of Newnan s Planning Commission at a Public Hearing on March 8, 2016. At the conclusion of that hearing, the Planning Commission voted affirmatively that this request should be forwarded to City Council for their consideration to ratify it into the Ordinance, along with the Planning Commission s recommendation that the ordinance be tailored to only allowing Hotel/Motels to be considered as special exception uses in the OI-2 zoning districts. Options: A. Approve the text amendment as proposed. B. Approve the text amendment with conditions or exclusions. C. Deny the text amendment. Recommendation: Staff would concur with the recommendation of the Planning Commission Previous Discussions with Council: February 9, 2016

WHEN THE STREET LIGHTS GO ON Paramount Worldwide Productions, Inc. 175 Lakewood Way, SW, Atlanta, GA 30015 I respectfully request to be added to the next City Council Agendas for April to request a final date change for filming a television pilot in the City of Newnan. REQUEST TO APPROVE NEW FILMING DATES: At the last meeting, the City Council approved a change in dates for filming. Upon discussions with Rednexican restaurant, we determined our new dates would be detrimental to a private party they had planned. The request for the new dates, May 1 st and 2 nd, would eliminate the conflict and enable the filming to take place on Sunday and Monday for less impact to the local businesses and community. WHO: I am the location manager for the show, When the Street Lights Go On, for Paramount Worldwide Productions, Inc. and a resident of Newnan, Georgia. WHAT: Street Lights is a pilot for a series to be aired on HULU. The story is set in 1983 in the suburbs outside of Chicago, IL. Newnan has been chosen as our hero town for the series. WHEN: Street Lights will be filmed over the course of two days from Sunday, May 1 st and Monday, May 2 nd. WHERE: Locations include The Alamo, Newnan Square, a residence on Salbide Ave. We have also been reaching out to several businesses and churches in the area to secure parking of production equipment, vehicles and catering for crew. PLAN: I have been in touch with Chief Douglas Meadows of the Newnan Police Department and I am actively negotiating arrangements with the various locations to secure permissions for filming, parking and basing.. As a resident of Newnan, I am excited to play a role in landing this series in Newnan with the positive economic impact it s sure to bring to the community. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Kai Thorup Location Manager When the Street Lights Go On Paramount Worldwide Productions, Inc.
From: Colon Hemrick [mailto:colon@numail.org] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2016 2:58 PM To: kbrady@jybrealty.com Subject: late fee on business renewal April 13, 2016 Mayor Keith Brady Newnan City Council Newnan. Georgia 30263 Dear Mayor Brady and Newnan City Council: C. Hemrick Enterprises Incorporated Hemrick s Grocery 10 Franklin Road Newnan, Georgia 30263 770-253-6667 I recently applied for renewal of my City of Newnan Business License just like I have done for the past 40 plus years. It was due on April 1, 2016. I mailed it at the Greenville Street post office on Thursday March 31 where it was postmarked as such. On April 8, 2016, I received a notice from the City of Newnan Finance Department that I owed a late fee of $237.53. I promptly contacted Ms. Iris McClung and she proceeded to inform me that this penalty was assessed because my renewal arrived on Monday instead of Friday. I informed her of the postmark and she told me that the City of Newnan went by the date received instead of the postmark date. I personally have never heard of any government entity with this policy including the federal, state, and county. Would you please remove this fee since I was timely with the mail in date? Thank you in advance for your consideration in this matter. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Colon Hemrick
From: Sandi [mailto:ffoodsvc@bellsouth.net] Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2016 1:04 PM To: rdubose@cityofnewnan.org; rshell@cityofnewnan.org Cc: Jon Simmons Subject: Occupations Tax Penalties for R-781 and R-310 Dear Council Members Shell and DuBose: I was told by Chris Widner, Assistant Finance Director, that I would need to present my case in front of the City Council in order to request an abatement of the penalties that we have been assessed. Our Company has been doing business in the City of Newnan for over 20 years and our record shows that we pay our taxes in a timely manner. I mailed our returns on Tuesday 3/29 so they would be received by the due date of Friday April 1, 2016. I received notices in the mail on April 9 th (dated April 8 th ) that our returns were not received until Monday April 4, 2016. Our returns were mailed to a P. O. Box so I am unsure how often these boxes are checked. I believe that I mailed them in good faith with ample time to be received prior to the due date. Especially since the notice that was returned to me only took one day. I understand that the City does not go by postmark date but by date of receipt. The date of receipt is out of my control. However, I will use Federal Express in the future so I can track the progress and have proof of receipt. So I may obtain our business licenses and get them posted, I am sending checks today for the penalties (by Federal Express). We hope to hear back from you soon that these penalties have been abated and a refund check is pending. If we need to appear in person, please let me know the time and place. The properties I am writing to you about are as follows: Kentucky Fried Chicken 398 Bullsboro Drive Certificate # R-781 Penalty assessed $247.27 Krystal 220 Bullsboro Drive Certificate # R-310 Penalty assessed $168.86 Thank you for your time, Sandi de St Aubin Controller F&F Food Service Inc (E121) SLD Inc (ATLF21) LOT Chicken LLC (J064) JDL Land LLC JJL Restaurants LLC (DQ#43854 & #44220) 1204 Macy Drive Roswell GA 30076 770-650-2901x1 770-650-2903 fax
