Shul at Chastain relocation seeks setback relief; Nov. 4 hearing listed

The Shul at Chastain proposes moving its Orthodox synagogue into an existing building at 4930 Long Island Terrace. Sandy Springs’ Oct. 7, 2026, Board of Appeals agenda marks the related setback variance request as on administrative hold.

Applicant Kesher Torah of Sandy Springs, Inc., doing business as The Shul at Chastain, describes a relocation of an existing congregation with approximately 32 membership units—families and individuals. No building expansion or increased footprint is proposed; the application calls for minor interior modifications.

Case V-26-53, co-listed as agenda identifier 2026-0013, seeks relief from Section 7.4.1 for the building and parking area within the required 100-foot and 50-foot Protected Neighborhood District setbacks. The city’s case register lists a Board of Appeals hearing for Nov. 4, 2026, at 6 p.m. and identifies the case as under staff review. Neither the agenda nor the register records approval or a completed hearing.
