PZ2025-1538 — Expansion of a rehabilitation center facility and surface parking lot in Chamblee, GA
This case involves a rehabilitation center facility (PruittHealth Ashton Woods) requesting two variances to reduce open space requirements from 10% to 0% and reduce the zoning buffer from 40 feet to 10 feet, along with two waivers for landscape and street tree requirements. Staff recommends denial of both variances but conditional approval of both waivers, citing concerns that the variances would cause substantial detriment to the protected old growth Keswick Forest and increase stormwater/erosion impacts.
- Staff recommends denial — this one is fighting uphill
