Brookhaven hosts second round of Tree Ordinance Rewrite meetings

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brookhaven, GA, Feb. 10, 2021 – Following public input meetings on Jan. 27, the City of Brookhaven will host a second round of virtual input meetings for its Tree Ordinance Rewrite on Feb. 24 at noon and 6 p.m.

The City is also collecting and considering input from its interactive Tree Ordinance Rewrite website at www.BrookhavenGA.gov/commdev/page/tree-ordinance-rewrite. Residents can view previous meetings, learn about the project, download the existing ordinance, and contribute to a virtual ideas wall, community forum, survey and interactive map through March 1.

“I have long made the pledge that our Tree Ordinance is a living, evolving document,” said District 2 City Councilman John Park. “As we work toward striking a balance between residents who are passionate about preserving our tree canopy and developers who possess certain property rights, I invite everyone to participate as we take a new look at our Tree Ordinance.”

Both meetings will be broadcast on Facebook Live on the City’s Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/BrookhavenGAgov. The two meetings will contain the same material, so it will not be necessary to attend both.

The entire rewrite process is expected to culminate with City Council adoption this summer.
