Dunwoody City Council will discuss allowing to-go alcoholic drinks in Georgetown and Jett Ferry and expanding the area where they are permitted around Perimeter Center at its Monday, Oct. 26, meeting.
The entertainment-district ordinance is scheduled for a first reading, rather than final approval. Council members will also consider changes to High Street’s development plans when they meet at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 4800 Ashford Dunwoody Road, according to the official agenda.
The proposed Georgetown district would encompass the neighborhood’s commercial properties along Chamblee Dunwoody Road, North Shallowford Road and Dunwoody Park South. In Jett Ferry, the designation would cover shopping areas on both sides of the road, including Williamsburg at Dunwoody, Appen Media reported.
Around Perimeter Center, the proposal would extend the existing district north along Ashford Dunwoody Road beyond Meadow Lane Road and east along Perimeter Center East, Perimeter Center North and Meadow Lake Road.
Some noncommercial properties would fall within the proposed boundaries, making it possible for people to carry drinks between businesses and nearby homes or hotels while remaining inside the districts, according to Appen. The Dunwoody Village district would retain its current boundaries.
Council members are also scheduled to take up a second reading of High Street’s Block 6 rezoning request. The developer wants to substitute office and retail space for a planned seven-story residential building.
The application allows for three to five commercial buildings, with the current layout showing three arranged around a central plaza, Appen reported. High Street’s first phase was completed in late 2024, according to the city’s development overview.
Revised conditions address concerns Mayor Lynn Deutsch raised about delivery and temporary parking. They would allow up to 60 off-street spaces for short stays by delivery drivers, ride-share services and similar users, according to Appen.
The proposal also calls for a multi-use path during the project’s second phase. A separate condition would require the developer to contribute $150,000 toward a connection to neighboring property if that opportunity becomes available within three years of the first certificate of occupancy, Appen reported.
On the consent agenda, council members will consider $69,923 for Southern Premier Contractors to repair stormwater pipes at 4772 Coldstream Drive.
A proposed agreement with Pateco Services would provide street sweeping and debris removal over five years. Appen reported that the service would cover 107.5 curb miles six times annually, increasing the mileage cleaned by 16%.
Another consent item would hire BluLynx Solutions to help plan and administer the city’s Community Development Block Grant program, with first-year spending capped at $64,976, according to Appen.
Residents can attend in person or watch the meeting on the city’s Facebook page.
