Council approves second reading of vertiport zoning text amendment as conditional/master-plan use
Summary
Council approved second reading of a Unified Development Code amendment adding definitions and placing vertiports as permitted/conditional uses in certain zoning districts; the amendment requires vertiports be approved via conditional use or master-plan amendment, per staff change.
On second reading Sept. 8, Alpharetta’s City Council adopted an amendment to Articles 1 and 2 of the Unified Development Code to add definitions related to vertiports (takeoff/landing facilities for vertical-takeoff aircraft) and to classify vertiports as a permitted or conditional use in selected zoning districts.
Planning staff reported one change since first reading: all affected zoning districts were set to require a conditional-use approval or a master-plan amendment for vertiport proposals. Council voted unanimously to approve the ordinance amendment.
Outcome: the Unified Development Code now includes vertiport definitions and requires vertiport proposals to proceed through conditional-use review or master-plan amendment processes in the designated zoning districts.
