The Avondale Estates Board voted to approve a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) to provide assistance on the city’s local comprehensive plan update.
The motion carried by voice vote at the Feb. 11 meeting. Commissioners thanked ARC staff and stressed that the plan should be used actively as a guiding document for future development and that the city should engage a broad group of stakeholders during the outreach process.
Commissioners noted the update will shape how the city develops and asked staff to ensure ample public engagement opportunities during the planning process. The city manager said staff will share materials and timelines as the ARC-assisted process moves forward.
Outcome and next steps: staff will work with ARC on the plan schedule and public-engagement strategy and report back to the board as milestones are reached.
