A new memory care and assisted living facility could be coming to Suwanee at the intersection of Buford Highway and McGinnis Ferry Road.
The Planning and Zoning Commission will consider the application to rezone the 6.6-acre tract of land, which sits on the southeast corner of the intersection, near Burnette Road, at its meeting Tuesday.
The building, if ultimately approved by the commission and Suwanee City Council, would be approximately 67-thousand square feet. City staff has requested a condition be added that limits the number of residential units to 86.
Plans call for access to the facility to come via McGinnis Ferry Road (right-in/right-out only) and Burnette Road.
Developers don't anticipate much traffic to come to or from the facility, since most of the residents likely will not be able to drive. They anticipate most residents will be transported by an on-site shuttle bus, while the traffic in and out of the facility will be limited to staff and visitors.
The commission will hear the request Tuesday night, then move on for approval or denial from the city council at a later date.
