A large grocery store may well be coming to the Lindbergh Drive area of Piedmont Road, following approval of two zoning ordinances Tuesday night (Aug. 2) by Neighborhood Planning Unit B. The ordinances amend the Piedmont commercial corridor regulations to remove a minimum residential requirement for the property identified.
Although no one on the NPU-B board would say, if they knew, what the large grocery store might be that is planned for the area, they all agreed that a grocery store would fill a huge void and provide a needed amenity for the future of the Lindbergh MARTA station area.
What the NPU action approves is the possibility of present apartments that are located in the area bordered by Lindbergh Drive, Morosgo Drive, Adina Drive and Piedmont Road to be removed and replaced by a mixed-use commercial development, with active use along the perimeter and a disguised interior parking deck along with greenspace park strips.
NPU-B chair Sally Silver told the board, “Most importantly, there is going to be a grocery store there. That is the big important thing that is going to make Lindbergh work.”
Both of the ordinances were approved by the NPU-B board unanimously.
When will the Council vote on this? Isn't that kind of an important step?
ReplyDeleteWow that would be amazing! I was going to say Publix, but of course there's one right down the street at Cheshire Bridge. One to watch...
ReplyDeleteExcellent choice of location ... projects should have be torn down a couple of years ago ... a grocery store is very much needed in the area. Ansley mall is the closest grocery now ..
ReplyDeleteI live in the area (in the Eon apartments) and I agree this is needed. Currently we have Target, but it really doesn't compare to a Kroger or Publix.
