Council approves multiple variances and design conditions for four parcels on Chamblee–Dunwoody Road
Summary
Council approved PZ20251537—multiple variances and waivers for four parcels on Chamblee Dunwoody Road—including limits on interparcel access width, a cap on leasing-office square footage, required screening using public art (with materials and opacity approved by the Public Arts Commission), additional balconies on the south elevation, and added short-term bicycle racks.
The Chamblee City Council approved a package of variances and waivers for PZ20251537, a multi-parcel development on Chamblee–Dunwoody Road (3527, 3535, 3543 and 3553). Key approvals and conditions include: increasing the share of units above 800 square feet for certain building types; requiring the development to be built substantially in conformity with the site plan received by the Planning and Development Department on 08/05/2025; limiting the leasing office to no more than 1,000 square feet; installing public-art screening on the west side of the parking structure (final design and materials to be approved by the Public Arts Commission, including opacity and coverage); adding balconies on the south elevation to match other façades; adding short-term bicycle racks; and restricting interparcel access width to accommodate no more than a full-size SUV.
During discussion a council member asked whether the public-art design approval should include materials as well as look; another speaker suggested specifying material if desired. Council members accepted a friendly amendment to explicitly include material and coverage (opacity) under the Public Arts Commission's approval authority. The motion and subsequent clarifying amendments were accepted and the council voted in favor. The transcript recorded multiple conditions and site-plan dates that will guide final building and permit reviews.
