Whitner Drive rezoning approved; plan calls for three residential lots

Sandy Springs' case register records City Council approval with conditions on May 19, 2026, of a Whitner Drive rezoning from RE-2 to RD-27. Case RZ-25-7 concerns a two-acre site at the corner of Whitner Drive and Mount Vernon Highway.

The staff report describes a proposed split into three residential parcels ranging from 28,003 to 28,550 square feet. RD-27 has a 27,000-square-foot minimum lot size, compared with the site's previous two-acre minimum.

Staff recommended that the homes face Whitner Drive and that all driveways and curb cuts use Whitner Drive rather than Mount Vernon Highway. Those access provisions are documented as staff recommendations, not quoted adopted conditions.
