DUNWOODY, Ga. ââ The Dunwoody City Council deferred a proposal that would reduce the minimum land area required for a planned development from 5 acres to 1 acre.
At its April 26 meeting, the council considered several modifications to the original plan suggested by the Dunwoody Planning Commission that would raise the minimum area for a planned development to 1.5 acres. In addition, the council discussed several modifications that included adapting standards already established in the cityâs comprehensive plan. The council concluded that more study would be needed before the measure could be considered.
âWe need to better understand the process,â Mayor Lynn Deutsch said in calling for the deferral, which passed unanimously.

DUNWOODY, Ga. â The Dunwoody City Council is expected this week to consider a proposed text amendment to its zoning code that will reduce the minimum land area required for a planned development from 5 acres to 1 acre.
In a memo to the council, Dunwoody Planning and Zoning Manager Paul Leonhardt said that the change âaddresses a shortcoming of the Dunwoody Zoning Ordinance.â
âCurrently, when a developer asks for a rezoning, the city provides a variety of conditions â one of which typically requires following an approved site plan,â the memo said. âHowever, due to the length and specificity of the Zoning Ordinance, most current development requires one or more variances. This can lead to the situation where the Planning Commission and the City Council approve a development to a certain standard, yet the Zoning Board of Appeals will make the final decision whether the project can be constructed.â
