A new subdivision is coming to Augusta, near the Columbia County line.
Among the Augusta Planning Commission’s first item in its initial meeting of 2025 is reviewing the final plat for a planned neighborhood of townhomes on Gordon Highway.
Weatherstone Townhomes is to consist of 199 attached lots across some 19 acres along 2933 Gordon Highway, some three miles east of Fort Eisenhower’s Gate One.
The owner of the parcel, just south of the burgeoning Captain’s Corner subdivision, is listed as Cyber Development LLC as of April of 2021, according to property records. Ronnie Powell purchased the land from Byron Magnum Jr. in 2020, and that year successfully petitioned the city to rezone the tract from Agricultural to Multi-family Residential (R-3C).
At the time, the plan for the development entailed 179 townhomes alongside 320 apartments. Portions of the tract, which totals more than 60 acres, are zoned One-family Residential (R-1E) and General Business (B-2).
The Planning Commission is slated to review the final plat in its Jan. 6 meeting, the same day it’s scheduled to revisit the tabled request by Charles Walker to rezone three acres at 1924 Grand Blvd. for the sake of a proposed 14-lot neighborhood.
