Alcoa leaders have granted a zoning exception to a 15-plus-acre Topside Road development that would comprise seven buildings and hundreds of apartments.
Alcoa Board of Zoning Appealsâ recent and final meeting of 2020 saw members approve a request for a special exception from architect Dan Brittain to allow Topside OZ II LLC to develop 226 apartments at the intersection of McBath and Topside roads.
The land â two parcels next to Topside Wine & Spirits and called the âMcBath Family Farmâ in BZA notes â is zoned as a general business district and required the exception to allow residences there.
A similar request came to the board in July 2018, when the apartments were initially proposed.
