Site Development, Stormwater Design, and Land Disturbance Permitting for North Fulton County Projects

Alpharetta has become one of Metro Atlanta’s most dynamic markets for residential, commercial, and technology-driven development. Located in North Fulton County along the GA-400 corridor, the city has attracted significant corporate investment, mixed-use development around Avalon and the Alpha Loop, and continued residential growth in surrounding neighborhoods. Mack Engineering is based in the Alpharetta area and provides civil engineering and land development services for projects throughout the city and North Fulton County.

What Civil Engineers Need to Know About Alpharetta

• Alpharetta administers its own development review process through the Community Development Department. Land disturbance permits require coordinated review across multiple departments including stormwater, arborist, and fire.
• The city maintains a Unified Development Code that consolidates zoning, subdivision regulations, and development standards. This code includes specific overlay districts for the Downtown Alpharetta area and the Alpha Loop mixed-use corridor.
• Alpharetta enforces a tree preservation ordinance requiring tree density calculations, specimen tree surveys, and replacement planting for any development clearing. Tree save plans must be submitted alongside land disturbance applications.
• Stormwater requirements follow the Georgia Stormwater Management Manual with additional city-specific post-development standards including detention requirements for peak flow control and water quality treatment.
