Last Chance to Give Input on Brookhaven Overlay District

Wednesday, April 17, is the last day for residents to provide input on the Brookhaven-Peachtree Overlay District.

Any suggestions for technical input relative to the district should be submitted to info@brookhavenga.gov by noon on April 17. All comments will reviewed by the city's community development department.

The district's boundaries include a portion of Ashford Park between Caldwell, Peachtree, Dresden and Redding. 

The Brookhaven Community Development Department is soliciting public comments on the Brookhaven-Peachtree Overlay District. 

Recently, the Brookhaven City Council approved a three-month development moratorium in the Brookhaven-Peachtree Overlay District.

The moratorium, effective March 26, runs until midnight on June 25. It was implemented to ensure responsible governance over zoning, land use, variances and other statutory controls on the use of property within the district's boundaries.

"We want to make sure we make responsible development and land use decisions," Brookhaven Community Development Director Susan Canon said. "The moratorium also allows city staff time to evaluate the overlay district in relation to underlying zoning and to determine whether any revisions are necessary for appropriate implementation."
