Brookhaven issues permit moratorium on Buford Highway

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brookhaven, GA, June 12, 2018 – The Brookhaven City Council approved a 6-month moratorium on all land use petitions and land development permits on the section of Buford Highway within the city limits.

“As the Brookhaven Zoning Re-write draws to a close, this moratorium ensures that the vision created for this area with public input from dedicated community stakeholders is preserved until it can be enacted into law,” said City Manager Christian Sigman.

The Brookhaven Zoning Re-write officially began in January 2016. A final draft for public inspection is expected this month, and legislation is expected to be presented to the City Council in September. The moratorium remains in effect until Dec. 31, but can be rescinded when the zoning updates are enacted.
