This is an administrative item amending Chapter 27 of the Brookhaven zoning ordinance regarding nonconforming uses and structures. The amendment addresses rules for relocating nonconforming uses to other locations on the same lot or to different lots, with conditions based on whether the relocation reduces nonconformity or whether the use is permitted under the new location's zoning regulations. Developers with properties involving nonconforming uses should monitor this amendment for compliance implications.
15-2025 — Mixed-use development: 280-unit multi-family residential (8 stories) with 5,000 square feet of ground-level commercial space and 375 parking spaces
This rezoning application seeks to amend conditions within the existing O-I zoning district to allow an 8-story, 280-unit mixed-use residential development with ground-floor commercial space, replacing the currently permitted 12-story office building. The project includes approximately 10% affordable housing units and requires special land use permits for the proposed use and height. The development conforms to the Brookhaven 2044 Comprehensive Plan and the Perimeter Center character area designation.
27-294 — 280 four+ household rental residential units and 5,000 square feet of commercial use (retail or restaurant)
Applicant seeks to amend existing O-I conditions to increase maximum building height from 5 stories/70 feet to 8 stories/85 feet on a 2.68-acre vacant property at 5005 Summit Boulevard. The proposal includes a mixed-use development with 280 residential units and 5,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space, replacing an economically unviable office entitlement from the 1980s. The modification aligns with Comprehensive Plan goals for the Perimeter Center character area and will not exceed traffic or infrastructure capacity.
15-027 — Mixed-use development with 280 multi-family residential units and 5,000 square feet of commercial use
This case involves subdivision of a 0.68-acre parcel at Perimeter Center to facilitate a mixed-use development with 280 residential units, 5,000 sq ft of commercial space, and an 8-story building requesting height relief to 85 feet. The development is designed to activate the Perimeter Center character area with mixed-use density while significantly reducing traffic impacts compared to existing office entitlements (77% reduction in peak-hour trips).
LUP22-00003 — 280-unit multifamily residential building (4+ household) with approximately 5,000 square feet of supportive commercial space
This special use permit seeks to convert a vacant office-zoned parcel in the Perimeter Summit area from a planned 12-story office tower to an 8-story multifamily residential building with 280 units and supporting commercial space. The proposal aligns with the Comprehensive Plan's encouragement of multifamily housing in this character area to counterbalance the current office overconcentration (29.1% vacancy rate) and create a more mixed-use neighborhood near I-285 access.
CZ85-043 — Mixed-use development with 280 residential units, 5,000 sf commercial space, and ~375-space parking deck
The applicant seeks to remove conditional zoning restrictions on the 83-acre Perimeter Summit development to allow a mixed-use project with 280 residential units and commercial space, requiring approval of two Special Land Use Permits for multi-family housing and height exceptions. This rezoning updates outdated 1980s development conditions to current standards and will directly impact residential density and building heights in a previously office-focused corridor.
27-588 — Multi 4+-household residential building (280 units)
A 2.75-acre property on Summit Boulevard is being rezoned from O-I Conditional to O-I and will seek special use permits to construct a 280-unit multi-family residential building with increased height. The staff recommendation is approval with conditions, and this represents a conversion of vacant office-zoned land to residential use in the Perimeter Center area.
LUP25-00009 — Four+ Household Use with increased Maximum Building Height

27-696 — Vehicle sales and service uses (including fueling stations, vehicle sales, rental, maintenance and repair)
Case 27-696 amends zoning regulations to permit vehicle sales and service uses within the North Druid Hills Activity Road Node along the Buford Highway Corridor, specifically for properties with frontage on both Interstate 85 and West Druid Hills Drive. The ordinance allows various vehicle-related commercial services while requiring any multi-household uses to be secondary and located above ground floor.
27-2018 — other
This case involves an ordinance amendment to Chapter 27 Zoning in Brookhaven, updating the Principal Use Table (Table 7-1) that governs what uses are permitted, require special permits, or are prohibited across different zoning districts. The amendment affects permitted land uses across residential, mixed-use, commercial, and employment districts, which may impact development feasibility and project costs depending on your intended use and location. Developers should review whether proposed uses for target properties are permitted by right, require special permits, or are now prohibited under the updated table.
LUP25-00005 — 49-bed skilled nursing facility with corporate headquarters and rooftop deck/patio
Perimeter Healthcare seeks to renovate the existing office building at 4151 Ashford Dunwoody Road to house a 49-bed skilled nursing facility by requesting a Special Land Use Permit to increase maximum allowed height for a rooftop deck/patio. The project maintains the existing structure with only minor renovations and does not add an additional floor, keeping it within the current O-I zoning district with conditional approval from staff.
