27-1285 — Ordinance / Text Amendment in Brookhaven, GA
This text amendment modifies the zoning code's treatment of nonconforming uses and structures, specifically allowing residential properties with existing density to be redeveloped with the same number of principal dwelling units without losing grandfathered status. Developers should note that the changes encourage infill redevelopment of properties with "missing middle" housing types (duplexes and triplexes) in single-family zones while preserving existing nonconforming residential densities.
