Dunwoody Zoning Board of Appeals meeting for July 2, 2026

The City of Dunwoody Zoning Board of Appeals convened on July 2, 2026, to consider several zoning variance requests primarily related to residential infill projects. Key procurement-related discussions involved special exceptions and variances for new home constructions at multiple addresses, including 1414 and 1416 Narin Circle, and 4600 Brierwood Place. The board reviewed requests to allow homes to encroach into contextual street setback ranges and stream buffer zones, with conditions such as adherence to submitted site and landscape plans and commencement of construction within two years. Public comments raised concerns about storm water management, flooding, and environmental impacts, particularly regarding driveway encroachments into stream buffers. The board deferred one variance request at 4600 Brierwood Place to allow further collaboration between the city and developer on storm water mitigation. Other variance requests were approved unanimously with conditions. The meeting underscored the need for the city to address broader storm water management challenges in future planning.
