Dunwoody City Council approves lawsuit settlement to allow three Group Residential Behavioral Health Treatment Facilities without SLUP process.

Full Document

Monday evening there was a Special Called 5 pm meeting to go into Executive Session followed by an action item for Council to vote on a Settlement Agreement.    The following legal item was brought into the public domain once it was approved by the City Council and this happened at that Special Called Meeting; therefore this document can now be shared.

I have printed a few paragraphs outlining the actions below for your awareness and though disappointed in the reversal of a zoning action; this settlement agreement was put forward in the best interest of the City as whole.

Notwithstanding the current SLUP Requirement related to operation of certain community residences or recovery communities, the City will issue the necessary occupational tax certificate licenses for the corporate Plaintiffs to operate a community residence or a recovery community on the Properties. Except as specifically provided in 3.0(b), this consideration is limited to the current intended use of the Properties as Group Residential Behavioral Health Treatment Facilities as defined herein, for the benefit of the current owners or operators, and shall not run with the Properties.

The City will issue the necessary license or licenses for 4609 North Peachtree Road, Dunwoody, Georgia, and 4484 North Shallowford Road, Dunwoody Georgia five days after the dismissal without prejudice of the Lawsuits. The City will issue the necessary license or licenses for 4821 North Peachtree Road, Dunwoody, Georgia five days after the later of the dismissal without prejudice of the Lawsuits or official notification from HUD that the HUD Complaint is resolved.
