Does Etowah Village align with our Comprehensive Plan?
The purpose of our Comprehensive Plan is to “provide guidance for everyday decision- making by local government officials and other community leaders”. The Future Land Use plan, a component of the Comprehensive Plan, is designed to guide development and therefore zoning decisions. According to our Future Land Use Plan, rezoning the 518 acres for Etowah Village is not in agreement with our Comprehensive Plan. In fact, our Future Land Use Plan allows less than 370 residential units as opposed to the 1,447 residential units planned for Etowah Village. In addition, commercial use would be limited to less than 4% of the project and intended for small scale neighborhood use. Offices, hotels and Continuing Care Retirement facilities would also be prohibited.

Could Etowah Village be developed with current zoning?
No, in fact the current zoning would only allow for 1/4 of the residential units planned for Etowah Village.
