POSITION STATEMENTS ON PLANNED CHANGES TO DUNWOODY VILLAGE OVERLAY DISTRICT DESIGN STANDARDS

On Crim & Associates SLUP Application

DHA would like the Planning Commission and City Council to review the Dunwoody Village Overlay District Zoning Codes before approving any specific project in the Dunwoody Village Overlay District. We are uncomfortable with the SLUP process which opens the door for spot rezoning. This is directed to the process, not the visual presentation by Crim and Associates.

Yea: 12 Nay: 0 Abstentions: 2


2) On proposed changes to the Dunwoody Village Overlay District presented by city staff at the DHA public board meeting on July 1:

Yea: 12 Nay: 1 Abstention: 1



Below is the full video record of the presentations on July 1 that gave rise to these statements.

A Look Back at Dunwoody's Recovery from the 1998 Tornado

 An Editorial by the late Dick Williams in the Atlanta Journal Constitution April 12, 1999 https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/stories/1999/04/12/editorial4.html One doesn't have to listen to the Clark Howard program on WSB radio to hear that species of American known as The Whiners. It's enough just to follow the news or surf the cable box. (Click) In a nation of boundless hope, here's the Rev. Jesse Jackson urging us to keep hope alive. (Click) In a metro area that's projecting 1.8 million new jobs in 25 years, here's Mayor Bill Campbell of Atlanta proclaiming that every black person in town owes his or her living to affirmative discrimination. (Click) When disaster strikes, counselors are rushed to schools. (Click) "If you can't get help at ... seek help somewhere." The notions of individualism and of turning to family, church and school for support too often are obliterated by the culture of victimhood, or societal subgroups based on us a...
