PZ2026-1637 — Restaurant with enclosed front patio in Chamblee, GA
Galla's Pizza is requesting a sign variance to allow an existing pole sign to remain in place while a new roof is constructed over the front patio area. The sign predates the current zoning code and was previously compliant; the applicant argues that adding a patio roof underneath it should not trigger non-compliance since the sign itself does not change. This case affects restaurants and commercial properties with pre-existing signage that may be affected by building improvements.
