BRAND PROPERTIES, LLC'S RESPONSE TO STANDARDS GOVERNING THE EXERCISE OF ZONING POWER

WHETHER A PROPOSED REZONING WILL PERMIT A USE THAT IS SUITABLE IN VIEW OF THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF ADJACENT AND NEARBY PROPERTY:

WHETHER A PROPOSED REZONING WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE EXISTING USE OR USEABILITY OF ADJACENT OR NEARBY PROPERTY:

~o, the proposed Rezoning Application will not adversely affect the "Xisting use or usability of any of the nearby properties. The proposed .oning classification is compatible with existing residential, commercial,

~and industrial uses of adjacent property. In fact, the proposed development

ould provide an appropriate transition of land uses from commercial to sidential.

\ HETHER THE PROPERTY TO BE AFFECTED BY A PROPOSED REZONING H S REASONABLE ECONOMIC USE AS CURRENTLY ZONED:

T e Applicant submits that due to the size, location, layout, topography, and na ural features of the Subject Property, it does not have reasonable ec nomic use as currently zoned.

The Applicant submits that the character of the surrounding development and the existing mix of uses in the area provide supporting reasons for approval of the rezoning. Anticipated growth in Gwinnett County based on the 2040 Comprehensive plan suggests a strong need for this type of housing.

COMBINED LETTER OF INTENT

Telephone: 770.822.0900 Direct Dial: 770.339.0475 Direct Fax: 770.236.9719

FOR REZONING APPLICATIONS OF BRAND PROPERTIES, LLC

Andersen Tate & Carr, P.C. submits this Combined Letter of Intent and attached rezoning applications (the "Applications") on behalf of Brand Properties, LLC (the "Applicant") for the purpose of requesting the rezoning of an approximately 20.87-acre assemblage of parcels situated along Duluth Highway (State Route 120) and McDaniel Road (the "Property"). The surrounding area is characterized by a mix of land uses including office & institutional, industrial, and residential. The assemblage of tracts includes tax parcel numbers R7119 100; R 7119 114; R 7119 116; R 7119 118; and R 7119 002A.

The Property is currently zoned 0-I (Office-Institutional District) and C-2 (General Business District). The Property is localed within the Workplace Center Character Area as set forth in the Gwinnett County 2040 Unified Plan (the "2040 Plan"). The Applicant is proposing to rezone the Property from 0-I and C-2 to the RM-24 (Multifamily Residence District) zoning classification of the Gwinnett County Unified Development Ordinance (the "UDO") to accommodate the development and construction of a multifamily residential community as depicted on the Site Plan and building elevations/renderings submitted with the Applications.

The proposed community would provide approximately 3 73 units of upscale, luxury multifamily homes. The proposed community would include a mixture of one, two and three­bedroom units, with only approximately 7% of the of the total units being three-bedroom floorplans. The proposed development would provide various amenities for residents, including recreational options such as a fitness center, pool, and outdoor patio area with grilling stations and fire pits. Residential buildings would include internal, unconditioned corridors and attractive architectural elements in general accordance with the building elevations submitted with the application. The Property would be developed as reflected on the enclosed Site Plan which identifies a ~'North Parcel" and "South Parcel" for the development. The North Parcel (Tax Parcels R7119 100; R7119 114; R7119 116; and R7119 118) consists of approximately 11.504 acres and would include 204 units, or 18 units per acre. The South Parcel (Tax Parcel R7119 002A) consists of approximately 9.368 acres and would include 169 units, or 18 units per acre.

The proposed community is compatible with the policies set forth in the 2040 Plan which designate the Property as within the Workplace Center Character Area. Specifically, policies for this Character Area encourage a mix of land uses and higher residential densities, including

RZM '20 0 27

apartments and townhomes. The proposed development would also provide an appropriate balancing of the Property's existing split-zoning. The proposed development would provide an appropriate transition of land uses from the commercial node at the intersection of Duluth Highway (State Route 120) and Meadow Church Road toward less intense residential uses to the west. The proposed development would complement the existing commercial I industrial uses near the Property by providing necessary residential critical mass to support those uses. Pursuant to the 2040 Plan, the proposed development is consistent with the intent of potential development within the Workplace Center Character Area which provides that "[w]hile reserving these lands to focus on employment uses, these elements should be supported where appropriate by opportunities for residential uses and multi-use oriented commercial areas."

Residents would have convenient access to Duluth Highway (State Route 120) and major employment centers along Duluth Highway, Sugarloaf Parkway, Interstate 85, and University Parkway (State Route 316) corridors. The proposed development is compatible with the policies of the 2040 Plan, it would complement the existing mix of commercial, industrial, and residential uses, and it would provide an appropriate transition from them towards single-family detached uses to the west.

The Applicant and its representatives welcome the opportunity to meet with staff of the Gwinnett County Department of Planning & Development to answer any questions or to address any concerns relating to the matters set forth in this letter or in the Rezoning Applications filed herewith. The Applicant respectfully requests your approval of these Applications.

Respectfully submitted this 1st day of July, 2020.

RE: JUSTIFICATION FOR REZONING FOR BRAND PROPERTIES, LLC (2449 Duluth Highway and McDaniel Road, Duluth, Georgia)

Dear Chairman and Commissioners:

This letter is written on behalf of Brand Properties, LLC (the "Applicant"), in connection with the rezoning applications for property located at 2449 Duluth Highway and McDaniel Road, Duluth, Georgia (the "Subject Property"). The Subject Property is further identified by tax parcel ID numbers R7119-100; R7119-114; R7119-116; R7119-118; and R7119-002A.

Constitutional Objections

The portions of the Gwinnett County Unified Development Ordinance, as amended, (the "UDO") which classify or may classify the Subject Property which is the subject of the rezoning application into any more or less intensive zoning classification, development and/or conditions other than as requested by the Applicant are, and would be, unconstitutional in that they would destroy the Applicant's property rights without first paying fair, adequate and just compensation for such rights, in violation of Article I, Section I, Paragraph II of the Constitution of the State of Georgia of 1983, the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

The application of the UDO, as applied to the Subject Property, which restricts its use to the present zoning classification, is unconstitutional, illegal, null and void, constituting a taking of the Applicant's property in violation of the Just Compensation Clause of the Fifth Amendment and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, Article I, Section I, Paragraphs I and II of the Constitution of the State of Georgia of 1983, and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States denying the Applicant any economically viable use of the Subject Property while not substantially advancing legitimate state interests. Under Lathrop v. Deal, the application of the UDO in a way that constitutes a taking shall be deemed a waiver of sovereign immunity. 1

The Subject Property is presently suitable for development under the RM-24 (Multifamily Residential District) zoning classification as requested by the Applicant and is not

Andersen, Tate & Carr, P.C. •One Sugarloaf Centre• Suite 4000 • 1960 Satellite Boulevard• Duluth GA 30097 • www.atclawfirm.com

RZM '20 0 27

economically suitable for development under its present 0-I (Office-Institutional District) and C-2 (General Business District) zoning classifications of the Gwinnett County UDO. A denial of the requested rezoning would constitute an arbitrary and capricious act by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners without any rational basis therefore, constituting an abuse of discretion in violation of Article I, Section I, Paragraphs I and II of the Constitution of the State of Georgia of 1983 and the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.

A refusal by the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners to rezone the Subject Property to the RM-24 zoning classification, with only such additional conditions as agreed to by the Applicant, so as to permit the only feasible economic use of the Subject Property, would be unconstitutional and discriminate in an arbitrary, capricious and unreasonable manner between the Applicant and owners of similarly situated property in violation of Article I, Section I, Paragraph II of the Constitution of the State of Georgia of 1983 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

Any rezoning of the Subject Property to the RM-24 zoning classification, subject to conditions which are different from the requested conditions by which the Applicant may amend its application, to the extent such different conditions would have the effect of further restricting the Applicant's utilization of the Subject Property, would also constitute an arbitrary, capricious and discriminatory act in zoning the Subject Property to an unconstitutional classification and would likewise violate each of the provisions of the State and Federal Constitutions as set forth hereinabove.

Accordingly, the Applicant respectfully requests that the rezoning application submitted by the Applicant relative to the Subject Property be granted and that the Subject Property be rezoned to the zoning classification as shown on the respective application.

Respectfully,

ANDERSEN, TATE & CARR, P.C.
