On the second Tuesday of each month, the Midtown Development Review Committee holds a public meeting — sans a public comment period — to hear area development proposals.
Proposals aren’t required to be approved by the DRC before going to city planners, but getting clearance before approaching the city is considered neighborly and can help.
Three new applications are scheduled to be presented at the Oct. 9 meeting, which begins at 5:30 p.m. on the 5th floor of 999 Peachtree St.
The proposals are as follows:
• Student housing project at 699 Spring St.
The proposal is for a 27-story building with two ground floor retail spaces at the southeast corner of Spring and 3rd streets near Georgia Tech. Plans call for six levels of above-ground podium parking with about 315 parking spaces, topped by 19 stories of 320 units marketed to students. The rooms will hold 715 beds.
Applicants: Jessica Hill, Morris Manning & Martin LLP; Francisco Rios and Chris Johnson, CA Ventures
• Residential project at 903 Peachtree St.
The proposal is for a 32-story building with ground floor retail spaces at the southeast corner of Peachtree and 8th streets. Plans call for eight levels of above-ground podium parking with about 549 parking spaces, topped by 23 stories of 417 market-rate units.
Applicants: Jessica Hill, Morris Manning & Martin LLP; Francisco Rios and Chris Johnson, CA Ventures
• Residential condos at 1084 Piedmont Ave.
The proposal is for a 7-story condo building with up to 29 units. A bi-level parking deck would provide 40 spaces. The 6th level terrace would include open space and a pool.
Applicants: Michael Gamble, Gamble + Gamble; Brad Berman, Freeman Partners
The DRC committee, appointed jointly by the city of Atlanta and Midtown Alliance, is made up of 10 people who represent residents, property and business owners, institutions, neighborhood associations and MARTA.
They provide formal recommendations to the Office of Planning on all Special Administrative Permit applications within Midtown’s special public interest zoning districts.
Applicants must submit project information — such as project narratives, site plans, elevations and renderings — a week in advance to be placed on the agenda.
