Development Proposed for 1280 Chattahoochee

5/5/2025

 
Picture
Just across from The Works and adjacent Top Golf, a proposal to Rezone from I-2 to MR-4A and Redevelop the site with 350 multifamily units and 105 town-homes.
Although not in Underwood Hills, the developers have offered to present their proposal at the next GM, answer questions and receive community feedback. Interested eligible parties can vote on it at the NPU-D meeting.
When presented at the UHNA Steering Committee meeting, concerns raised included increased traffic and access impacts, and potential impact on the new Woodall Trail.
Elizabeth Hollister, Executive Director of the upper westside improvement district (UWCID) explains-
"Our CID has a permanent easement in place for the section of trail that goes across that property to Topgolf, so the trail cannot be removed. It may be closed temporarily for construction though. The developer is required to "use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the trail publicly accessible during its development or redevelopment of the property and shall only close the trail during ongoing periods of construction of the Property that would impact the Trail or the Trail Easement Area." The easement also allows for relocation of the trail, as long as it still connects to Topgolf and the Southland Circle/Chattahoochee Ave intersection. 

It would definitely still be helpful if y'all could impress upon them the importance of keeping the trail open during construction as much as possible. Other requests that we would love UHNA's help making to Jessica Hill and the development team:
  • No additional driveways added on Southland Circle (we want to minimize conflicts between vehicles and trail users)
  • Pedestrian scale lighting along the section of trail they touch--Southland Circle and the part that goes across their property to Topgolf
  • Vehicular access between the multifamily and the townhomes so there are two points of access for the parking deck. 
  • No variations from the standard streetscape required by Upper Westside Overlay zoning for Chattahoochee Ave (5 foot landscape strip, 10 foot sidewalk area, and 5 foot supplemental zone) It's important for them to hear that the community supports the zoning code and is not willing to see it varied for any reason." "
If you'd like to be part of the discussions please attend the UHNA GM Monday May 12. Details in the calendar
