The Dunwoody City Council will consider at a yet-to-be determined meeting a zoning request that would allow a former church property that straddles Dunwoody and Sandy Springs to be developed into a 24-detached-home community.
The site, which is owned by North Atlanta Church of Christ, is listed as 1369 Spalding Drive and 5646 Roberts Drive in a staff memo regarding the application. It was to be presented at the June 9 Dunwoody Planning Commission meeting, which was cancelled because of a lack of a quorum.
The application, submitted by the Providence Group of Georgia, proposes that three homes be built within the city of Dunwoody and 21 in the area that encompasses Sandy Springs.
Currently, the land is zoned R-100, and would require a designation of R-60 to allow for the density that would permit the houses to be built on the Dunwoody side.
According to the application, the properties on Spalding Drive, which are in the City of Sandy Springs, were rezoned to allow a 21-lot subdivision on May 19 under the RD-9 designation (Residential Detached – 9,000 square feet minimum lot size).
The three homes, ranging in size from 3,500 to 4,500 square feet, will sit on a 10,910-square-foot lot, with one access point from Spalding Drive at the signalized intersection of Spalding Drive and Pitts Road.
The staff, in its memo to the Dunwoody Planning Commission, recommended the re-designation. The zoning matter will be heard at the next planning commission meeting on July 14, according to city officials.
