Piedmont Kennel Club is Selling Their Property on Choate Circle, Apartments Planned (May 18, 2023) The Piedmont Kennel Club is in the process of selling their property on Choate Circle across from the Steele Creek Athletic Association fields. Current plans are to sell to Toll Brothers, who plan on building 375 high end, luxury apartments. The Piedmont Kennel Club is a volunteer organization with dwindling and aging membership. Their facility is outdated, and their volunteers are no longer able to maintain it properly. They plan to downsize and relocate to a smaller facility but will continue to host dog shows at other venues.
Toll Brothers plans one 4-story apartment building that will have offices and amenities, and four 3-story buildings. The 375 apartments will average just under 1000 square feet. They claim it will be the nicest apartment community in the Steele Creek area. The property is currently zoned R-3 (3 units per acre) and will require a rezoning to UR-2(CD) to allow up to 19 units per acre (375 apartments on 19.75 acres). The current recommended land use is up to 4 dwelling units per acre (R-4). See Petition 2023-013. (Locator map below.) The Steele Creek Residents Association opposes this rezoning due to its extremely high density that exceeds that recommended in the Steele Creek Area Plan.
