TA26-0002 — other
This text amendment modifies the Sandy Springs Development Code and Technical Manual to address multiple administrative corrections and new use allowances. Key changes include introducing a new "Flex Space" use category (up to 40,000 sf blend of light industrial uses, with CUP required above that threshold) in IX and TX districts, and clarifying fence material variance eligibility. Developers should track this amendment for impacts on industrial/flex space projects, maintenance agreement timelines, and variance opportunities.
17-2026 — Residential subdivision with 21 single-family homes, two pocket parks, and two underground detention facilities
This rezoning transforms five raw parcels from rural estate zoning (RE-1) to residential detached zoning (RD-9), enabling development of a 21-home subdivision with an average lot size of approximately 10,910 square feet. The proposal includes amenity spaces, underground detention facilities, and strict access and construction management conditions that limit density and impact on surrounding roads. Developers should note the seven conditions imposed, including lot size minimums, a requirement for entrance at the Pitts Road/Spalding Drive intersection, and limitations on access points to Dunwoody.

ZM10-001 — Development of 21 single-family detached homes with average lot size of approximately 10,910 square feet, plus two pocket parks and common area
This rezoning proposal seeks to convert approximately 7.87 acres from RE-1 (single-family estate) zoning to RD-9 (residential detached) zoning to enable development of 21 new single-family homes averaging 10,910 square feet per lot on Spalding Drive. The project would increase housing supply in Sandy Springs by transitioning from 5 large-lot homes to 21 smaller-lot homes while maintaining single-family character, and would consolidate access to a single signalized entrance at Pitts Road rather than 5 individual curb cuts. New traffic impact would be minimal, representing less than 1.5% of existing volumes on adjacent roadways.

TA26-0001 — other
This text amendment proposes several updates to the Development Code, including increased flexibility for mechanical equipment placement beyond current administrative variance limits, allowance of government facilities as permitted uses in the Office Neighborhood district, reordering of multi-unit commercial requirements for clarity, and technical updates to window signage and sign illumination regulations. Developers should note these changes may affect mechanical equipment placement options, multi-unit project requirements, and signage compliance for future projects.
