17-2025 — Six single-family detached homes (four new homes to be constructed, two existing homes to be retained) in Brookhaven, GA

This rezoning reduces minimum lot sizes from 15,000 sq ft (RS-100) to 12,000 sq ft (RS-85) to enable development of six single-family homes on 2.35 acres, with proposed lots ranging from approximately 13,183 to 19,867 square feet. The application includes concurrent variances and targets an area already transitioning to moderate-lot single-family residential development, with nearby RS-85 districts present along Lanier Drive. The proposal preserves two existing homes built in 1915-1916 while adding four new residences compatible with the existing neighborhood character.
