Planning & Zoning

The Planning and Zoning Division focuses on current planning matters, including the review of site plans, subdivision plats, zoning map amendments and text amendments to the zoning ordinance. Staff also serves the Mayor and City Council and the Architectural Review Board (ARB) for the City of Chamblee. The Mayor and City Council review variances, special uses, appeals of decisions and extensions of nonconforming uses; the ARB reviews all Developments of Community Impact (DCI) and advises the Mayor and Council on these developments. A DCI is any development greater than 50,000 square feet and not a single-family detached development.

Through our work, we aid in helping to protect Chamblee's economic, natural and historical resources.
