50-100 — site_plan
This site plan submission involves landscape and lighting improvements at 6000 Peachtree Road, including the installation of overstory trees, shrubs, and pedestrian lighting in a landscape strip. The project is owned by the Robert W. Woodruff Arts Center, Inc. and developed by Red Stone Group Engineering & Development, LLC.
PZ2026-1729 — rezoning
This is a zoning map amendment affecting three properties in Chamblee that will become effective only upon approval and recording of a final plat splitting the subject properties. The approval was conditioned on compliance with a Land Swap Resolution signed in December 2021, which may affect your acquisition or development timeline for any of these parcels.
PZ2026-1664 — variance
The City Council voted to deny all variances and waivers requested for the development project at 5037 Peachtree Road. The denial was unanimous and appears to have ended the proposed project for this location. Developers should be aware that this site faces significant regulatory barriers and community opposition.
PZ2026-1726 — other
Paramount CBS Atlanta seeks waivers from streetscape requirements (landscape zones, sidewalk clear zones, and supplemental zones) triggered by interior renovations to two building suites. Staff recommends denying waivers for landscape and sidewalk zones on both I-85 Frontage Road and Johnson Road, citing consistency with the Dresden Park Small Area Plan's pedestrian connectivity goals, but recommends approving waivers for the supplemental zones since no new building construction is proposed.
PZ2025-1729 — Residential (continued use as currently zoned properties); formal platting and subdivision to establish lot boundaries per 2021 land swap agreement
The City of Chamblee is seeking to rezone three parcels to formalize a 2021 land swap agreement with Ashton Woods Healthcare. Two parcels at London Rd. and Keswick Dr. would change from NR-1 to VR zoning, while one parcel at Ashton Woods Dr. would change from VR to NR-1. The rezoning is necessary to allow these properties to be properly platted and subdivided according to the land swap terms.
PZ2021-712 — Luxury indoor motor condominium storage units (26 units)
This rezoning request seeks to convert a 1.67-acre vacant lot from Village Commercial to Industrial Transitional zoning to accommodate 26 luxury motor condominium storage units. The property has remained vacant since 2024 when an adjacent larger redevelopment was completed, and the proposed industrial use aligns with the adjacent logistics center but diverges from the Character Area vision emphasizing retail, services, and pedestrian-oriented development.
PZ2026-1680 — variance
This case involves a variance request at 3478 Hildon Circle in Chamblee. The City Council approved one variance request for the property. Developers should note this was a straightforward variance approval with no apparent opposition or conditions.
PZ2026-1700 — Luxury motor condominium storage facility with 26 units for personal storage of luxury automobiles, travel trailers, boats, RVs, and specialty vehicles
The applicant is rezoning 1.668 acres from Village Commercial to Industrial Transitional to construct a 27,000 square foot luxury motor storage facility with 26 individually-owned condominium-style units. Staff recommends approval subject to conditions including consistency with the conceptual site plan and a prohibition on overnight stays. This project affects vacant commercial property adjacent to light industrial uses and may impact surrounding single-family residences to the east.
PZ2022-971 — site_plan
This site plan request seeks multiple waivers for a multifamily building development, including reductions to required landscaping zones, sidewalk width, and supplemental zones. Staff recommends denying the landscaping and shrubbery waivers as unnecessary given alternative compliance options in the ordinance, but approves the non-detrimental public good criterion; the building façade design also does not meet minimum architectural requirements as currently designed.
AA-101 — site_plan
This is a site plan submission for Broadstone Century Center containing building floor plans for a mixed-use development with retail and residential units. The submission includes detailed architectural floor plans for Building A (Levels 01-05) with zoning compliance notes regarding street frontage and building design standards. Developers should review whether this project's mixed-use retail/residential configuration and design standards align with their competitive interests in the Chamblee market.
S-25-030 — Mixed-use residential and commercial development: 320 multi-family residential units (102 north, 218 south) and 10,200 SF of commercial space across two 5-story buildings
This is a site plan for a 320-unit mixed-use residential development on 15.7 acres in the MU-BC district, proposing 5-story buildings with 10,200 SF of commercial space, 530 parking spaces, and significant open space. The project includes extensive green space (53.8% north, 50.3% south), bike parking, and trail easements along North Fork Peachtree Creek, designed to achieve Silver-level NGBS certification.
PZ2026-1646 — variance
A multi-property residential development project at Hardee Avenue and 4th Street seeking multiple variances and waivers from setback, material, and design standards. The City Council approved most requested variances but denied variance 5 and certain waivers, requiring access easements to adjacent properties and limiting exterior material and balcony requirements. This represents a substantial mixed-use development that will impact the local streetscape and traffic patterns in the area.
25-206 — Mixed-use development: 102 multi-family units and 3,400 sf retail (North Parcel); 218 multi-family units and 6,800 sf retail (South Parcel)
This case involves a mixed-use development with 320 multi-family units (102 units on North Parcel, 218 units on South Parcel) and 10,200 sf of retail space requiring traffic impact analysis and intersection improvements. The project will generate significant vehicular trips requiring modifications to site access on Century Boulevard and potential auxiliary lane improvements at surrounding intersections. Developers should review traffic recommendations including left turn lanes and deceleration turn lane requirements on Century Boulevard.
25-164 — 320-unit multifamily residential development with 10,200 square feet of ground floor commercial space
This Development of Community Impact (DCI) proposes a major mixed-use project with 320 multifamily units and commercial space on 15.736 acres along Century Boulevard. The project requires multiple variances and waivers from zoning standards, including reduced setbacks, increased driveway widths, and parking placement exceptions. Staff recommends conditional approval of most variances and waivers, though it recommends denial of requirements for primary residential entrances to face the street and for type I/II construction on taller buildings.
PZ2026-1637 — Restaurant with enclosed front patio
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.
PZ2026-1546 — Kitchen Appliance Showroom with dumpster enclosure in street-side yard
A commercial kitchen appliance showroom seeks a variance to locate a dumpster and enclosure in the street-side American Way yard rather than the rear of the property. The variance is necessary due to the corner lot's site constraints and the building's layout, which makes rear dumpster placement impractical for waste collection vehicles.
AD-100 — site_plan
This case involves design review for a dumpster enclosure and building facades (Buildings A, B, and C) for the Broadstone Century Center mixed-use development. The submission includes architectural elevations demonstrating compliance with fenestration and building material percentage requirements, along with a traffic impact study for the proposed development.
PZ2025-1633 — text_amendment
This case involves an amendment to the Future Land Use Map for multiple parcels in Chamblee spanning Clairmont Road and Briarcliff Road. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance amending the Future Land Use Map as presented. Developers should review this amendment to understand how the updated land use designations may affect development potential or constraints for these properties.
PZ2026-1666 — variance
This case involves a variance request to allow a dumpster and its enclosure in the front yard along Johnson Road NE for a commercial property at the Chamblee Tucker Road addresses. Staff recommends approval with conditions for this dimensional/placement variance. The decision will affect whether the property can locate waste management facilities in the front setback area.
01-001 — Continued tire retail and service operations with parking lot modifications
Discount Tire seeks to modify conditions of an existing 2023 rezoning approval by eliminating a required parking island in the center of their lot. The triangular lot configuration creates operational challenges for maneuvering vehicles in and out of the service garage bays, and the applicant argues the island poses a safety hazard. This modification affects how the 23-year-old tire retailer manages its parking and vehicle circulation on-site.
PZ2018-220 — Automobile tire store and repair with drive-through
This variance request seeks to allow an automobile tire store and repair business to operate with a drive-through on a storefront street and to not comply with standard parking requirements. The property has been operating as a tire store for over 20 years and is undergoing building renovation that requires UDO compliance. Adjacent properties have already received similar variance requests, suggesting this may be part of a broader pattern in the area.
PZ2026-1602 — Automobile tire and parts store with drive-through facility
Discount Tire seeks approval to modify the conditions from a 2023 rezoning (PZ2023-1209) from Village Commercial to Corridor Commercial by omitting a required parking island and allowing a drive-through with concurrent variances. The revised proposal includes landscaping improvements and pedestrian striping to better manage vehicle and pedestrian circulation on this 1.01-acre site.
PZ2025-1588 — pd_amendment
This is a major multi-building development project in Chamblee requiring approval of a development of community impact and 57 variances plus 10 waivers, with selective denials of 2 variances and 1 waiver. The approval includes specific design and operational conditions affecting parking surfaces, roof materials, building facades, and vehicle circulation patterns. Developers should review the detailed conditions regarding brick patterns, solar reflectance standards, roofing materials, and traffic management requirements before proceeding.
PZ2025-1538 — Expansion of a rehabilitation center facility and surface parking lot
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.
PZ2027-1633 — Mixed-use development with integrated residential, office, and retail uses
This rezoning consolidates multiple parcels along Clairmont Road and Briarcliff Road from fragmented County commercial and residential zoning into unified City mixed-use zoning, enabling coordinated site planning and pedestrian-oriented development. The proposal also updates the Future Development Map to designate these properties for Mixed-Use development and transitions one parcel to a DC-A holding designation pending future rezoning. The mixed-use framework supports reinvestment in established corridors while providing the City greater control over site design and integration with surrounding development.
PZ2024-1267 — Commercial dumpster enclosures for convenience shop/laundromat/restaurant
This variance permits placement of two commercial dumpster enclosures on a through lot with dual frontage, with conditions prohibiting placement along Johnson Road. The property's irregular shape and steep topography create challenges for compliant dumpster placement, affecting any commercial tenant operations requiring waste management.
PZ2025-1632 — annexation
This case involves the annexation of four parcels on Briarcliff Road and one on Clairmont Road into the City of Chamblee, along with concurrent zoning of these properties. Developers should be aware that these properties are transitioning from unincorporated county jurisdiction to city jurisdiction with established zoning designations.
25-339 — other
This is a municipal procurement contract for on-call stormwater pipe cleaning services, not a zoning or land development case. The City of Chamblee is authorizing piggybacking on the City of Johns Creek's existing contract with stormwater cleaning contractors. This item does not impact zoning, land use, or property development.
