The Johns Creek City Council on Monday approved its Newtown Amphitheater Rental Policy and Fees policy, which outlines how much the city will charge residents, nonprofits and businesses to use the facility.

Based upon city staff recommendations, the city adopted a $2,000 base rental fee for nonprofit organizations and residents and a $4,000 base fee for commercial organizations.

Other rental fees for the Amphitheater and its associated equipment include:

• Damage deposit: $500/event
• Park attendant/cleaning fee: $50/hour
• Police officer: $50/hour
• Police vehicle: $35/hour
• Folding chairs: $1/chair
• 72’’ round table: $10/table
• 8-foot table: $8/table
• 6-foot table: $6/table
• Podium: $10/day
• Portable sound system: $100/day
• Backstage storage/green room/private restrooms: $100/day
• Single table rental at city event: $200/table

The city in 2014 opened the 10,600-square-foot open air amphitheater. The structure is made of laminated pine and seats up to 440 people under its wooden structure and hundreds more on its terraced grass surrounding.

In other business, the council voted to defer until June 1 a request from TXG, LLC to change zoning conditions on 6.12 acres of land at 10500 Block of Medlock Bridge Road and 10600 Block of Parsons Road. The request would allow the company to build a 107,265-square-foot assisted living facility.

The property is zoned C-1 Conditional, and the project would include a three-story, 86-bed assisted living facility and a one-story, 26-bed memory care unit.

The site plan shows one access point onto Parsons Road, along with a second, right-in, right-out access point onto Medlock Bridge Road and indicates 89 total parking spaces, city documents show.
