Council approves revised site plan for five townhomes at 4372 Chamblee‑Tucker Road after applicant concessions
Summary
After revisions to address neighbor concerns, council approved a rezoning and updated site plan for a five‑unit townhome project at 4372 Chamblee‑Tucker Road that avoids requested variances by moving access to Tuckersham Lane, providing rear‑loaded garages, sidewalks and landscape buffers.
Council approved a revised site plan and rezoning ordinance to allow five townhomes at 4372 Chamblee‑Tucker Road after the applicant submitted an alternative design that eliminated the need for three concurrent variances.
The November 3 site plan shifts vehicular access to Tuckersham Lane, positions homes forward toward Chamblee‑Tucker Road, provides rear entry and garages, increases guest parking to three or four spaces, and adds sidewalks and enhanced landscaping. Staff said the revised plan complies with the intent of the zoning ordinance and better responds to neighbor concerns about headlights, car exhaust and roadway safety.
Applicant counsel presented two versions — one that would have required variances and a second, alternative plan that addressed council and neighbor concerns and avoided variances. Councilmembers praised the applicant for revising the plan and emphasized pedestrian connectivity, buffering to adjacent homes and fire access; staff confirmed review by fire marshal found acceptable access without additional fire turnaround due to the 5‑unit design.
Council voted to approve the rezoning per the Nov. 3 site plan and conditions, with a recorded vote of six in favor.
