City of Dunwoody's Comprehensive Plan 2020-2040

“The Comprehensive Plan is a roadmap for long-range policy direction,” said Dunwoody Community Development Director Richard McLeod. “We use it to guide decisions about land use, transportation, economic development, housing, infrastructure and more. This is an important part of our continued evolution as a young and growing city.”

Comprehensive Plan 2020-2040

In an effort to maintain its relevance and in keeping with the Rules of Georgia Department of Community Affairs, Chapter 110-12-1, Standards and Procedures for Local Comprehensive Planning, the City conducted a Comprehensive Plan 5 Year Update throughout 2015 and 2020. The updates coordinated the assessment of new demographic and economic data and trends, considered the current version of the Comprehensive Plan, and made amendments based on community input.

The Comprehensive Plan is a policy document that assists decision-making and administrative actions in an effort to guide the City of Dunwoody towards the community’s preferred future. Subsequent to the original Comprehensive Plan adoption, the city has also adopted the Comprehensive Transportation Plan, Parks and Recreation Master Plan, Dunwoody Village Master Plan, and Georgetown/North Shallowford Master Plan as addenda, demonstrating the City’s continued commitment and efforts toward establishing an encompassing guiding policy document.
