RECOMMENDATION:
Recommended Action
COMMUNITY COUNCIL: Deferral.
PLANNING COMMISSION: Full Cycle Deferral.
PLANNING STAFF: Approval.
STAFF ANALYSIS: The intent of this update is to develop an area-specific plan, refine the recommendations for this area within the current DeKalb County Comprehensive Plan, and provide a vision for how the area can best transition from the high density uses along and near Briarcliff Road to the single-family areas to the north, east, and south. Therefore, Staff recommends “Approval”.

COMMUNITY COUNCIL VOTE/RECOMMENDATION: Deferral 5-0-0.
