Peachtree Corners amends stream-protection rules to clarify exemptions for city-maintained trails
Summary
Council approved an amendment to Chapter 18 to explicitly allow trails and paths maintained by the city to be exempted from stream-protection-area standards, clearing ambiguity for future trail designs.
Peachtree Corners — The City Council approved a second-read amendment to Chapter 18 (environment) to clarify that trails and paths the city maintains may be exempted from stream-protection-area standards when the city is the maintaining entity.
Sean Adams, presenting for public works and land development, said the change removes ambiguity in the code and will allow city staff to advance designs for multiple trail systems without creating unnecessary review hurdles. "The point of this is to clarify that trails and paths that can be exempted include paid and unpaid provided that they're maintained by the city," Adams said.
There were no public comments recorded. The council moved, seconded and approved the amendment by voice vote.
