Agenda 2045 - the Destruction of Dunwoody? Sunday, May 4, 2025
The New World Dunwoody Order is underway. First we had UN Agenda 21, a global initiative for cities like Dunwoody to condemn private property and homeownership, forcing everyone living in rural areas and suburban neighborhoods into a controlled urban setting. Seemed unlikely to gain strength and make its way to Dunwoody, GA.
Then
comes along The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable
Development 2030 Agenda.
A
whole urban system perspective A cities-based approach to sustainable
development requires working in a relational manner, where each city plays an
integral part in transitioning towards sustainability. If the 2030 Agenda
requests leaving no one behind, it is only logical to request leaving no city
behind. This means that all cities need to have capabilities and resources to
offer their residents the opportunity to enjoy a meaningful, creative and
prosperous life. The “every city matters” principle requires
redistribution, sharing and discussion to favor the vulnerable parts in the
urban system. While national political regimes vary greatly in their
approaches, all governments can find the means to implement inclusive and just
sustainability transitions across the whole urban system. National governments
need to delegate to urban governments competence and enabling capacities, such
as revenue generation authority and regulatory mandates, in order for them to
be actively involved in a response to sustainability, unlock their potential
and boost quality of life for citizens. Strengthened municipal finance and
fiscal systems make cities more conducive to innovation and more attractive to
people and businesses.
Dunwoody council and staff actually considering ruining our great neighborhoods? Yes. Although the 2045 plan is draft only, there's a purpose for everything in that plan.
But before we dive into the Plan to Destroy Dunwoody, lets take a look at what is coming to the entire Dunwoody Village area. Here's a post from a few years ago about the Shops of Dunwoody and Dunwoody West neighborhood. Fast forward to news that an ASANA Partners, an apartment builder, has acquired a huge chunk of land in Dunwoody.
This strategic expansion underscores Asana Partners’ ongoing investment in high-traffic, mixed-use properties within growing urban neighborhoods.
Back in 2020 our city council quietly approved the Dunwoody Village Overlay District, opening the door for every parcel in Dunwoody Village to become high-density housing. The majority of parcels in the Village were never zoned for Residential use, but the 2020 changes gave a path for every parcel owner in that area to build high-density housing. In this rezoning our city staff used terms such as DV-1 (Village Commercial) and DV-2 (Village Office), but residential units are permitted in all areas of the Village, despite the district names. You believe traffic is bad now? Wait until the Shops of Dunwoody becomes four-stories of housing, anchored at the bottom by empty commercial spaces. Homeowners in Dunwoody West were royally screwed by the city's ZBA, allowing a loud dog business. Dunwoody West homeowners will soon have more noise and more neighbors. And if this 2045 Comp Plan passes, so will you.
Let's take a look at the Dunwoody 2045 Comprehensive Plan, a plan put forth by our own bureaucrats (elected and not elected) to add thousands of people, increase density, increase traffic, and destroy our neighborhoods.
The infill of condos/townhomes/duplexes (now called 'house-scale plexes') will not be limited to main corridors. It will permit two neighbors to sell their combined lots to a developer, allowing for high-density, entry-level housing, in every neighborhood.
Throughout the Comp2045 plan is the term 'neighborhood transition'. That translates to 'building stuff that is not legal now, but we will make it legal'. The neighborhood maps mean nothing once the bureaucrats added the term 'transition' area. The Comp plan talks about protecting neighborhoods, but the fine print says otherwise.
If passed as is, by 2045, expect thousands of apartments (and cars) throughout Dunwoody Village, and row houses (aka house-scale plexes) lining the streets like Chamblee Dunwoody (running from Redfield to Wynterhall) Dunwoody Club (Mill Glen to DCF).
