Chattahoochee Hills staff present broad Unified Development Code text amendments
Summary
City staff summarized a package of UDC text amendments framed around eight topics — open-space concurrency, feasibility requirements, buffers, subdivisions, hamlets, clustering, rural uses and density rules — and answered council questions ahead of formal ordinance drafting.
City staff on Tuesday presented a multi-part package of proposed text amendments to the Unified Development Code aimed at tightening rules on open-space preservation, developer feasibility, buffers and several rural and hamlet zoning provisions.
"We came before you to talk about those eight topics," the presenter said, describing outreach that began in March and included office hours and feedback from both the Planning Commission and City Council. The briefing walked the council through changes intended to align the UDC with the comprehensive plan and to make preservation and feasibility requirements more enforceable.
The amendments would, among other things, clarify open-space concurrency tied to phase completion, require more detailed feasibility studies for rezoning applicants (infrastructure, funding and phasing), add illustrations for buffer exemptions, and consolidate hamlet typologies into a single Hamlet (HM) district. Staff emphasized that many of the changes are clarifications rather than regime shifts and that conservation easements, third‑party baseline studies and permitting checks are already part of the city's review practice.
