Etowah Village: Avalon or Asian Village Atlanta?

The proposed Etowah Village project is back on the table. A new rezoning application was submitted on August 8th - less than a month after the withdrawal of the previous application. A copy of the withdrawal request and the amended application can be viewed here (see pages 12-32).
So what's the plan for Etowah village?
While Etowah Village is often compared to Avalon in Alpharetta, Dawson Village Partner's President, Yong Pan, is known for his attempt to develop Asian Village Atlanta in Gwinnett County. A rezoning application submitted in 2006 reveals similarities to the proposed Etowah Village application submitted to Dawson County earlier this year. Both proposals included Chinese Gardens, a Chinese Cultural Center, museums and a Preforming Arts Center.
According to the new application submitted to Dawson County last month, the Chinese Garden and Cultural center have been removed. However, their commitment to leave the Chinese Cultural Center and Garden out of the plan…

Etowah Village is back with a different name

The proposed mixed use project formerly known as Etowah Village is back on the table. This time it's being called Dawson Village. The plan calls for 288 apartments and 653 single family homes with lot sizes ranging from 4800 to 7200 sq ft. A fire station was mentioned in the letter of intent submitted to the Planning Department but it's unclear if it will be a donation or just an option for the County to purchase the land. Several people have asked me if the previous developers, Yong Pan and WePartner, are behind this rezoning application. The short answer is, I don't know. The previous developers are not named on the application or site plan. However, their corporation named Dawson Village Partners, LLC was renewed this year. In addition, there are similarities between the previous site plan and new site plan. The application and site plan leave a lot of room for flexibility and lack specific details which point to speculative zoning. If that's true, there's no…

Rezoning Application for 140 Townhomes goes to Planning Commission October 15th

Ridgeline Land Planning submitted a request to rezone 25 acres from C-HB (Commercial Highway Business) to RMF (Residential Multifamily) and C-HB (Commercial Highway Business). There are 2 parcels involved. According to the rezoning application (ZA 19-16), the smaller parcel that touches Highway 53 will remain commercial with a change in boundaries. The proposal for the larger parcel includes 140 Townhomes and amenities.
What is the density?
5.98 Residential Units per Acre
Is the proposal in conformance with the Future Land Use Plan (FLUP)?
No, rezoning the larger parcel from Commercial Highway Business to Residential Multifamily is not in conformance with the FLUP. The future land use designation for both parcels is Commercial Highway Business.
Dawson County ordinances require conformance with the Future Land Use Plan. In other words, the Board of Commissioners have a mandate to rezone only if the proposed change in land designation matches the future land use designation set forth …
