State Restrictions on Municipal Zoning are Moving Forward on Feb. 26

In January, we posted about three bills that threatened to affect Dunwoody's viability in the future. One of these bills, HB 302 , would restrict any county or municipality from setting or enforcing building codes beyond what is established at the state level. This bill now has a companion bill, HB 937 and is proceeding through the committee process. While State Senator Harrell and State Representative Wilensky promised to oppose this bill, it will move forward in the legislative process tomorrow (February 26) at 8 AM. It is expected that it will proceed to the Rules Committee at 9 AM that same day. Some local elected officials dismissed this bill, its potential impact, and the probability of it being passed; the bill still has momentum. This bill can severely restrict the abilities of Dunwoody and every other city to set its own building standards Dunwoody incorporated to set zoning and building codes to meet the unique changing needs of the city....

Letter from DHA Board to Dunwoody City Council Regarding Code Compliance

October 2020 To: Dunwoody Mayor & City Council Re: Need for Improved Code Compliance At its March board meeting, the Dunwoody Homeowners Association held a discussion about opportunities for improved code enforcement. Several of our board members personally observed commercial areas with covered windows and gang tags. The former represents a serious safety lapse when police are called to a location; the latter is a blatant expression of organized crime. The board voted to compose a letter expressing these concerns to city council. Soon afterwards, the coronavirus pandemic hit and the proposal was tabled while our community faced a crisis that seemed more immediate. While the community waited for some return to normalcy, the issues that originally raised our concern have worsened. Gang tags that “mark territory” have advanced further from commercial areas into single family neighborhoods. Dunwoody incorporated to provide be...
