Chattahoochee Hills planners recommend explicit data-center prohibition in every zoning district

Chattahoochee Hills Planning Commission voted 5-0 on August 13, 2026, to recommend code changes that would explicitly disallow data centers in every zoning district, according to the city's account of the vote.

The proposal would retain and amend the definition in the Unified Development Code while changing the permitted-use table. Staff say that approach would reduce the risk that a data center could be interpreted as another use. The August action was a recommendation to City Council, not a Council adoption vote.
