Chamblee council approves annexation and mixed-use rezoning for Claremont and Briarcliff properties

The Chamblee City Council voted unanimously to amend the future development map, assign Mixed Use Business Center zoning to multiple parcels and annex several properties on Claremont Road and Briarcliff Road into the city.

Council member Jimmy First moved to adopt the future development map amendment and the related zoning ordinances for properties listed in the clerk's reading; the city attorney read the ordinance headings and the council approved the measures without recorded opposition. The ordinances assign a mixed-use land designation and formal zoning classifications (Mixed Use Business Center and a DeKalb County annexed zoning district) for the parcels cited by staff and listed in the ordinance language.

The zoning and annexation steps add properties identified in the readings (including 2767 Claremont Road and multiple parcels on Briarcliff Road) to Chamblee's development jurisdiction, which enables the city to apply local zoning rules and development review. One council member pointed out that parcel 3110 was included in the ordinance text even though it was not read aloud earlier; staff confirmed the parcel is part of the ordinance.

The motions were approved unanimously. The ordinances were read as second readings and adopted at the meeting. The action completes the council's formal approvals necessary for annexation and rezoning; implementation steps will follow through city planning and permitting.
