Chamblee council approves rezoning, EV parking, trail right-of-way and park master-plan awards in unanimous votes
Summary
At its April 21 meeting the Chamblee City Council unanimously adopted multiple land-use ordinances, approved right-of-way for the Rail Trail, allocated $46,800 for Peachtree Boulevard design, and awarded a Keswick Park master-plan contract not to exceed $510,500.
Mayor called the April 21 meeting to order and the council moved quickly through a slate of land-use and capital items, adopting each by unanimous vote.
The council amended the future development map and rezoned two properties at 3297 and 3289 Hardy Avenue, changing their future land use from office to airport and rezoning the parcels from Light Industrial I to Airport A District. The mayor noted a motion and second were on the floor and that the vote was unanimous.
Council also assigned a commercial future land-use designation to four properties along Chamblee Tucker Road and adopted a Unified Development Ordinance amendment adding standards for beauty salons, microblading and permanent makeup. On parking, the council amended Chapter 86 to add restrictions for electric vehicle charging spaces.
On transportation and parks, the council authorized the mayor to sign a right-of-way acquisition agreement for the Rail Trail (Veil Trail) segments 7 through 12 and approved allocating $46,800 in SPLOST funds to the Chamblee-Dunwoody Community Improvement District for increased 60% design costs that incorporate a pedestrian bridge component for the Peachtree Boulevard realignment.
For parks planning, the council approved a notice of award for the Keswick Park master plan implementation to Foresight Group LLC with a not-to-exceed amount reported in the meeting of $510,500 and authorized the city manager to execute necessary documents subject to legal review. The council also authorized a contract for a 2026 Chamblee Arts Master Plan.
All of the foregoing actions were approved by motion and second and recorded as unanimous on the council floor; individual roll-call tallies were not specified in the meeting transcript.
Ending: These approvals advance several capital and planning efforts that the city staff said will move into design and contract-execution phases; next procedural steps were authorization and document execution as noted by staff.
