City Council approves property purchase on Roswell Road and discusses development code updates

The Sandy Springs City Council made a significant move during their July 15, 2025 meeting by approving two purchase and sale agreements for property rights at 5275 Roswell Road and 0 Roswell Road. The decision, which passed unanimously, marks a strategic step in the city's ongoing development efforts.

Council members quickly called the question, and the motion to approve the agreements was met with a chorus of "aye" votes, indicating strong support for the acquisition. This property purchase is expected to play a crucial role in future city planning and development initiatives.

Following the property approval, the council transitioned into a work session where Mr. Ansbach presented updates to the development code. He outlined several minor edits, including substantive changes that had been overlooked in the previous major update in 2023. Ansbach emphasized that these adjustments were not controversial and aimed to enhance the clarity and functionality of the code.

As the meeting wrapped up, the council adjourned to the Public Facilities Authority, setting the stage for further discussions on city development and infrastructure in the coming sessions. The approval of the property agreements and the updates to the development code signal a proactive approach by the Sandy Springs City Council to foster growth and improve community resources.
