Dunwoody Planning Commission meeting for May 12, 2026

The City of Dunwoody Planning Commission held a meeting on May 12, 2026, primarily to review and discuss the Kroger project proposed at 4725 Ashford Dunwoody Road. The project includes rezoning requests, a special land use permit for a drive-through pharmacy, concurrent variances, and a major master sign plan. Key procurement-related discussions involved approving zoning modifications to allow a grocery store with an associated gas station, adjusting delivery hour restrictions to mitigate community noise concerns, and approving signage plans with certain conditions. The commission addressed public concerns about delivery times, environmental impacts, security, and neighborhood aesthetics. After deliberations, motions were passed to approve the rezoning with conditions on delivery hours and driveway access, the special land use permit for the drive-through pharmacy, and the major master sign plan with staff conditions. Additionally, a text amendment to the zoning ordinance was discussed to align public notice requirements with recent state law changes, aiming to streamline zoning case timelines.
