There will also be online opportunities to review and provide input on materials presented at the meeting via an online survey and comment form. Exhibit materials and feedback opportunities will be posted on starting on Aug. 21 and will remain open until Sept. 8.
Previous meetings have been held regarding other commercial areas of the city, where residents were encouraged to learn about the process and provide feedback.
The City of Sandy Springs, according to the release, is developing design guidelines for six primary commercial and mixed-use areas.
“These guidelines aim to ensure future development aligns with adopted planning documents and the Development Code and promotes a unique sense of place in Sandy Springs,” the release said.
The guidelines will build on standards included in the Development Code and Technical Manual by providing additional design direction for building features, building sites, landscaping, streetscapes, and other elements in character areas.
