Chattahoochee Hills planners recommend keeping 20-acre rural subdivision rule

Chattahoochee Hills Planning Commission recommended keeping the city's 20-acre rural subdivision rule as part of its September 17 recommendation on the 2026 Comprehensive Plan. The draft explains that rural properties generally cannot be divided into parcels smaller than 20 acres. The commission's requested edits would affirm the status quo rather than relax that constraint.

The recommended changes would remove the 20-acre-rule reference from a land-use strategy while retaining discussion of Micro/Mini-Hamlets. Council is scheduled to consider the plan as Item 26-045 on October 6 at 6:30 p.m. These are recommended planning-policy edits, not a Council adoption or a new subdivision ordinance.
