Johns Creek Planning Commission Recommends Approval for Advanced Air Mobility Zoning Text Amendment

The Planning Commission considered a zoning ordinance text amendment (A-26-004) to establish specific zoning districts and standards for advanced air mobility (AAM) and vertiports within Johns Creek. The amendment aims to allow vertiports as a special use in office institutional, commercial, and industrial districts, excluding agricultural and residential districts. It defines key terms, establishes operational standards, and requires compliance with FAA and GDOT regulations. The commission discussed potential impacts, safety measures, noise levels, and the process for future special use permit applications, ultimately recommending approval of the text amendment.
