HB1500: HB1500 Suwanee, City of; change corporate limits

This bill amends Suwanee's city charter, first created in 1999 and previously amended in 2023, to change where the city's boundary lines run. It adds specific parcels and a stretch of unincorporated right-of-way along McGinnis Ferry Road, totaling about 93 acres, into the city limits, based on Gwinnett County Tax Assessor records as of the bill's effective date. At the same time, it removes one parcel and adjacent right-of-way along McGinnis Ferry Road and I-85, totaling about 8 acres, from the city's boundaries. The bill lists exact parcel numbers and a metes-and-bounds description of the added area, including the intersections with Wildwood Road, Satellite Boulevard, and Northholt Parkway. It also repeals any conflicting laws.

• Adds roughly 93 acres, including several named parcels and a section of McGinnis Ferry Road right-of-way, to the City of Suwanee's official boundaries.
• Removes roughly 8 acres, including one parcel and adjacent right-of-way along McGinnis Ferry Road and I-85, from the city's boundaries.
• Amends Section 1.11 of Suwanee's 1999 city charter (as amended in 2023) by inserting two new subsections describing the boundary changes.
• Ties the boundary changes to how the property is described in the Gwinnett County Tax Assessor's records as of the law's effective date.
• Repeals any existing laws that conflict with these boundary changes.

Residents and property owners of the specific parcels being added to or removed from Suwanee, the City of Suwanee government, and Gwinnett County, since the change affects which jurisdiction provides services and collects taxes for those parcels.

Property owners in the affected parcels would become subject to Suwanee's city taxes, zoning, and services if added, or lose that status if removed, which can change tax bills, permitting rules, and which local government residents deal with.

• Section 1 amends Section 1.11 of the Suwanee charter by adding subsection (f), which annexes about 93 acres including parcels 7168 001, 7168 001A, 7168 019, 7195 002, 7195 062, 7195 068 and part of the McGinnis Ferry Road right-of-way.
• Subsection (f) gives a precise metes-and-bounds description of the annexed right-of-way, starting at parcel 7168 021 and running along McGinnis Ferry Road past intersections with Wildwood Road, Satellite Boulevard, and Northholt Parkway.
• Subsection (g) removes about 8 acres, specifically parcel 7152 004A and adjacent right-of-way along McGinnis Ferry Road and I-85, from the city.
• Section 2 repeals any prior laws that conflict with the new boundary description.
