Chattahoochee Hills City Council unanimously approved the 2026 Comprehensive Plan with changes and recommendations, according to draft action minutes. The recorded approval of Item 26-045 moves the plan beyond the Planning Commission recommendation previously reported.[1][2]
The commission’s September 17 recommendation called for modifying references to the 20-acre rule to affirm the status quo and adding hamlet-expansion and contiguous-preservation work to the Community Work Program. Commissioners also recommended adding the Town Green at City Hall to the parks list and the Cedar Grove Community Center renovation to the public-investment list.[1]
The Council action summary does not itemize its changes or reproduce the adopted plan, so the precise final wording remains unverified. The draft also conflicts on the meeting date: its header says October 1, 2026, while its footer says October 6. The approval date remains unresolved.[2]
