City Springs District LCI Update 1

Overview

In 2016, the City of Sandy Springs underwent its largest comprehensive planning effort since its

incorporation in 2005. The City now has a unique guiding plan, named The Next Ten, and a Development

Code of its own. Over the course of the past two years, the community, elected officials and staff

worked together to refine the vision for the City and the tools necessary for its implementation.

During the development of the Next Ten Comprehensive Plan, it was agreed that the 2013 City Center

Master Plan and LCI were still relevant, and that the associated goals and outcomes adopted by City

Council remained valid.

Current Study Area Characteristics

The LCI study area was reduced in

2013 from its original boundary to

include a segment of the Roswell

Road corridor, from the Interstate

285 interchange to the Alderwood

development located immediately

north of Abernathy Road (Figure 1 –

Study Area & Zoning Map). It

encompasses nearly 550 acres of

land, most of it already developed. It

used to be known as “City Center”,

but has been rebranded “City

Springs District” in fall 2015.Image 1 - Mayor and City Council at the unveiling of the City Springs logo

While the nature of the built environment is vastly commercial, the area comprises pockets of

residential use, and in increasing numbers. At this time, there are six multi-unit residential buildings

under construction or recently completed, replacing aging commercial and office buildings. Because of

the transitioning character of the area, it is difficult to give an accurate estimate of the number of

residents and jobs in the study area. This planned civic core comprised of the new City Hall offices, the

Performing Arts Center and the City Green is also taking shape.

The major transportation network in the study area includes some of the busiest roads in the City:

Roswell Road, Abernathy Road, Johnson Ferry Road, Mount Vernon Highway and Hammond Drive. This

accessibility allows a flow of customers to businesses, but as it also provides regional connections, the

area experiences heavy vehicular congestion at peak hours. Three MARTA bus routes serve the district,

yet one of them is limited to rush hours, providing easy access to the rail station.


Figure 1 – Study Area & Zoning Map


LCI Vision and Goals

The Next Ten Comprehensive Plan identified City Springs, the civic heart of the City, as a character area

of its own and exclusively applicable to the district outlined in the study area. It is described as a

“unique, vibrant, walkable district that serves as a civic/cultural center for Sandy Springs and a focal

point for community activity and identity” (The Next Ten, p.118). This coincides with the goals and

outcomes from 2013:

Goals (2012 Update)

� Create a unique, vibrant, walkable City Center rich in amenities desired by the community, such

as commercial retail, recreational and cultural facilities.

� Catalyze significant market-driven private investment in walkable, mixed-use redevelopment

that introduces substantial new dining, amenity retail, and entertainment options. This will both

achieve City Center development goals and strengthen the district’s ability to support Sandy

Springs’ fiscal goals.

� Create an appropriate setting for a new civic/cultural center that functions as a place of

community activity and identity.

� Create comprehensive infrastructure to support City Center which would include: walkable

streets, stormwater, traffic flow, transit services, bicycling facilities, parking, utilities and

signage.

� Introduce a green space network that accommodates a variety of activities, draws activity from

new development, and ties together City Center, established neighborhoods and existing open

spaces.

Outcomes (2012 Update)

� Reinforce the City Center as an attractive place to live by establishing a series of internal

neighborhoods including 1,500 or more units of new housing.

� Expand the City’s retail offerings to include districts of restaurants and other pedestrian-

oriented businesses.

� Create civic facilities that draw the community together in shared activities and convey

community identity.

� Foster new business growth spurred by an expanded workforce, retail choices and

transportation options.

� Improve the quality of traditional neighborhoods outside of the study area with new

connections to City Center amenities and reduced development and traffic pressures.


Report of Accomplishments

Land Development

Future Land Use and Zoning

As previously discussed, the Comprehensive Plan established a character area unique to the City Springs

District. The boundary of the character area is similar to that of the City Center Master Plan, but does

not extend as far as the LCI boundary. The remainder of the land not included in the City Springs

character area is classified in most part under Commercial / Mixed Use (Figure 2 – Character Area Map).

This character area is intended to “achieve a pedestrian-oriented scale and street character along

Roswell Road” (Next Ten, p.110).

The Character Area Map, used in the same manner as a Future Land Use Map, highlights Priority

Redevelopment Areas. City Council adopted a series of financial incentives to promote redevelopment in

those target areas. Depending on the number of jobs created and the level of capital investments,

businesses may be eligible for business tax credits, building permit and impact fee waivers.

Approximately 73 acres in the City Springs District are designated Priority Redevelopment.

In the same vein, City Springs has a tailored zoning district to

explicitly implement the Master Plan. While many regulations

applicable to the center of the city were incorporated into a Main

Street Overlay in the old Zoning Ordinance, the new base

standards carried over many of those requirements. Because the

pedestrian experience is crucial to implementing the vision, great

care was taken to incorporate design elements for the interface

between the public and private realms.

Recent Development

Development since 2012 within the LCI boundary has surpassed

the expectations. The 2012 Market Analysis had forecasted a

demand of 1,500 residential units over a ten-year period, yet

within five years, construction has already surpassed this

estimate (see Figure 3 – Recent Development Activity Map). Half

of those units were anticipated to be owner-occupied, however

the majority of units built are rented. This infill redevelopment is

revitalizing the Roswell Road corridor by replacing aging retail and

office structures. Many recent residential projects include

incidental commercial components.

The City Center LCI and Master Plan set out the ambitious goal of

creating a civic core for the City. Using the Public Private

Partnership model, City Springs was developed on the triangular block bordered by Johnson Ferry Road,

Sandy Springs Circle and Mount Vernon Highway. The construction of City Hall at the time of this report

is nearing completion, with an occupation date of late spring 2018.

In addition to investing into buildings, the City is setting a framework for open space and quality

pedestrian amenities. Adjacent to City Hall, a formal park is under construction and more greenspace is

expected to break ground across Roswell Road in the near future, as planned in 2012. The Marsh Creek

Preserve, a small park with a bioretention pond at its center, was completed in 2016 with the financial

support of the Georgia Environmental Protection Division. This area provides pollutant filtration from

stormwater and prevents flooding of downstream properties. The south side of the Abernathy

Greenway, a space for more passive use than its counterpart to the north, is another notable public

improvement and is expected to open in 2018.

Transportation and Infrastructure

Prior to the incorporation of the City of Sandy Springs, community leaders developed the first Sandy

Springs LCI under the nongovernmental organization Sandy Springs Revitalization, Inc. The Livable

Sandy Springs Plan of 2001 established a transportation framework which continues into 2017. Major

themes included in the 2001 study and carried forward in the City Center Master Plan and LCI Update of

2012 include:

Linking transportation and land use to create a robust multimodal transportation network to

better serve the downtown Sandy Springs area

Creating a street type framework to guide new street design, redevelopment, and establish a

relationship between the public and private realm

Taming Roswell Road as an obstacle and barrier and providing opportunities for pedestrian

travel and crossing

Enhancing travel options and connectivity through creating a new street grid

Greening the streets through tree plantings and landscaping

Creating an enhanced walking and bicycling network

Exploring opportunities for enhanced transit services

Developing centralized parking structures to park once and walk

Existing Conditions

Overall within the City Center LCI Study Area, the major transportation network has remained largely

the same. However, the City has been successful in expanding the street grid both through private

development and public investment. For the major street network, a comparison of average daily traffic

volumes between 2012 and 2017 is shown in Table 2. Although there are variations anticipated annually

in traffic counts, it appears that there has been some traffic growth particularly on the east-west

roadways. It is possible that the construction at City Springs could explain somewhat the decline in

traffic volumes on Sandy Springs Circle.

MARTA now operates three bus routes that traverse the City Springs study area. Route 5 Piedmont

Road/Sandy Springs is daily service that connects the Dunwoody and Lindbergh MARTA Stations. This is

the primary bus route serving Roswell Road to the south, but it also serves Mt. Vernon Highway and


Johnson Ferry Road. During the weekday peak period, this route is operating at service frequencies of

15 minutes or approximately four buses/hour. Route 87 Roswell Rd/Morgan Falls is daily service that

connects the Dunwoody and North Springs MARTA Stations and overlaps the Route 5 bus between

Hammond Drive and Johnson Ferry Road. The peak period service frequency is 20 minutes or

approximately three buses/hour. The newest route serving the study area is Route 148 Sandy

Springs/Riveredge Pkwy which is a weekday, peak period service only. This route does provide east-

west connectivity along Mt. Vernon Highway, but only provides five trips during the morning and

afternoon peak periods on an hourly frequency or one bus/hour.

Infrastructure Program

Since completing the 2012 City Center Master Plan, the City with support from its funding partners

(including the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT) and the Atlanta Regional Commission

(ARC)) has provided new transportation infrastructure within the City Center area. In pursuit of new

street network, the City has extended Blue Stone Road from Hilderbrand to Mt. Vernon Highway as part

of the City Springs development. A new east-west street has been constructed between Roswell

Road/SR 9 and Boylston Drive, named Denmark Drive after Dr. Leila Denmark, a physician who practiced

pediatric medicine in Sandy Springs. Denmark Drive traverses two new residential mixed-use

developments, Modera and The Adley. Another new north-south street is under development between

The Plaza at City Springs and The Cliftwood, which connects Allen Drive and Cliftwood Drive. In 2017,

the City also developed a concept plan identifying potential for new streets, as found in the City Center

Master Plan. A copy of the concept plan with street cross-sections is included in Appendix A.

Other roadway capacity, operations and safety projects completed include:

Addition of bridge capacity and dedicated turn lanes, signal upgrades, and sidewalks on Roswell

Road/SR 9 at I-285

Realignment of Carpenter Drive/Cliftwood Drive at Roswell Road/SR 9, correcting an off-set

intersection and improving signal operations

ATMS upgrade along Roswell Road/SR 9 and adjacent signals to add an adaptive signal

management system extending from Chastain Drive to Abernathy Road.

The City has made significant progress in adding and completing the pedestrian network of sidewalks

and curb ramps throughout the City Center, including:

Sidewalk and streetscape on Roswell Road/SR 9 from Cliftwood Drive to Hammond Drive and

Johnson Ferry Road to Abernathy Road

Mt. Vernon Highway, Johnson Ferry Road, and Sandy Springs Circle adjacent to City Springs

Finally, the city has completed a transit feasibility study to look at potential connections between City

Springs and Perimeter Center. Completed projects are illustrated in Figure 4.


Figure 4 – Completed Transportation Projects


In the 5-year Transportation Improvement Program for 2018 and 2022, the City has many major projects

underway that will also continue to advance the LCI goals. Programmed projects are shown on Figure 5

and include:

Widening of Hammond Drive to four lanes between Roswell Road/SR 9 and Glenridge Drive,

including bicycle and pedestrian accommodations

Operational and safety improvements on Johnson Ferry Road and Mt. Vernon Highway east of

Roswell Road/SR 9

Multimodal and last mile improvements on Mt. Vernon Highway between City Springs and

Perimeter Center East (Sandy Springs MARTA Station)

Completion of the last mile improvements and streetscapes on Sandy Springs Circle, Johnson

Ferry Road, Mt. Vernon Highway, Hilderbrand Drive, and Boylston Drive

Looking to the future, the City has identified many potential improvement projects within the City

Center Master Plan and other planning efforts, including The Next10 Comprehensive Plan, North Fulton

Comprehensive Transportation Plan, and the Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Trail Plan. The projects included

on the long-range plan are currently unfunded but can be considered by the City for future

implementation. Nearly all projects have been identified to improve last mile connectivity—improving

access and connectivity for multiple modes of travel such as walking and bicycling or multimodal, which

also includes improvements for vehicular and transit operations and safety. Future projects are shown

in Figure 6 and include:

Multimodal improvements for Roswell Road/SR 9 dubbed the “Roswell Road Boulevard”

Multimodal improvements for Mt. Vernon Highway, Johnson Ferry Road, and Abernathy Road

Last Mile Connectivity improvements for I-285, Bluestone Road, Sandy Springs Circle, Hammond

Drive, and Lake Forrest Drive

The Report of Accomplishments is summarized in Appendix B and all detailed project lists for completed,

programmed, and future transportation investments are included in Appendix C.

Action Plan and Next Steps

The City Springs District is transforming rapidly, owing to public and private investment, but this pace is

not expected to sustain indefinitely due to the normal cycles of the real estate market.

The implementation strategies listed in the 2012 update still have relevance today:

Create mixed-use neighborhoods designed for people:

� Define neighborhoods within City Center

� Bring a mix of activities together

� Support mixed-use neighborhoods with a network of walkable streets

� Take a cost effective approach to utility infrastructure

Create places of community that serve all of Sandy Springs:

� Expand Sandy Springs’ network of parks and greenways

� Attract more arts, cultural and civic events to City Center

Encourage investment

� Establish a clear, predictable process for development in City Center

� Continue to focus on key Roswell Road improvements

Barriers to Implementation

While long strides have been made in the implementation of the LCI, there are a few obstacles to

consider. The first one is the cost of the land. Properties have drastically increased in value across Sandy

Springs in the recent years and sale transactions around $1M per acre for parcels with frontage on

Roswell Road are common.

Another factor possibly hindering redevelopment is the fragmentation of ownership. As an example, the

4.2-acre site of the Adley apartment building at 6075 Roswell Road is an assemblage of seven distinct

parcels. It can be difficult to negotiate with several landowners at once. On the other hand, the

redevelopment of smaller areas at a time could result in a fine-grained main street feel, which is an

objective of the LCI and Master Plan.

Access to transit remains problematic in the area. While MARTA offers bus routes 87 and 5 with

connections to the rail stations, the headways off-peak hours and during weekends can be a deterrent.

The City is exploring alternatives to provide more effective connections to the rail stations and mobility

options under the Last Mile Connectivity Study launched in 2016.

Next Steps

The Development Code (and in particular the City Springs zoning district) was designed to create

walkable and connected places and will enable developers to propose many projects without going

through the lengthy and costly rezoning process. The long-term success of the City Springs District relies

on the quality of the built environment, but also on the engagement of the community. In this regard,

the City must continue to provide places for socialization. The expansion of the open space network and

the offering of cultural activities is becoming a priority. The City took a first step with the park adjacent

to the new City Hall and the Performing Arts Center, and more initiatives are underway. The local


nonprofit organizations can play a crucial role in strengthening the sense of community, including the

Sandy Springs Conservancy for greenspace and Art Sandy Springs for the activation of public places.

The City will pursue the implementation of the LCI plan in accordance with the Five-Year

Implementation Plan available in Appendix D, and intends on continuing to participate in the program by

preparing a major update in five years.
