Question 7
Do you support any of the recommendations of the Livable Centers Initiative (LCI Study), Comprehensive Plan or the proposed new Zoning Ordinance? If so which ones?
The Zoning Ordinance is currently undergoing a re-write and should be available for review
in the very near future.
I support the re-development and improvements to New Peachtree Road and Town Center
Intersection. Improvements such as sidewalks on New Peachtree Road will make
Shallowford Road and New Peachtree Road pedestrian-friendly, as will sidewalks on Park
Avenue, and sidewalks leading up to our schools. I also support mixed use development to
provide living quarters so people can work and shop near their homes, and many of the other
proposals of the LCI Plan. Many of these proposals will depend on whether we can obtain
grants, while other projects are capital improvements and will be funded from the General Fund
since as they are capital improvements. The Comprehensive Plan is an attempt to direct and
control our future development and give us a glimpse of what our city can be in the coming years.
