SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. -- The Sandy Springs City Council has delayed a vote on a plan for the Church of Scientology to put a church in a vacant office building until December 15th.

This came after the Church of Scientology has reworked plans to put a church in a vacant office building at the intersection of Roswell Road and Glenridge Drive.

“It’s a horrendous intersection and everybody knows that,” said Robin Beechey, a member of one of 16 neighborhood associations fighting the church.

Neighbors believe there is not enough parking at the site and they fear a potential increase in traffic.

However, an attorney for the Church of Scientology said the church has addressed residents' concerns. New plans call for the church to convert an underground parking area into worship space but continue to maintain 111 parking spaces.

The church has also agreed to limit the number of people in the church to 170.

“This is not a mega church," said attorney W. Woodson Galloway. "It is a small church and will operate as a small church.”

Galloway said that the church wants to be treated fairly.

“Whether you agree with it or I agree with their practice of religion, that’s irrelevant," said Galloway. "What’s relevant is that they be treated the same way everyone else is treated."

Neighbors said their fight has nothing to do with the controversy surrounding Scientology.

“This is about this site, this rezoning, this use," Beechey said. "Not this applicant.”

The City Council has now sent the issue back to the Sandy Springs Planning Commission.
