PART ONE - BACKGROUND

Project Introduction

The City of Dunwoody has been awarded Livable Centers Initiative (LCI) funds on behalf of the

Dunwoody Community and the property owners within the Perimeter Dunwoody Commercial District to prepare a shared development vision for the district. The City finds itself in a place of transition and could benefit from a wide-ranging community conversation about future growth and how best to create a uniquely Dunwoody commercial area that meets the community’s needs. The community is struggling with growth pressures, especially as they relate to school overcrowding and residents are pressuring elected officials to limit new development, especially residential projects.

The City currently has 22,252 housing units and the mix is 45% single-family detached and 55% attached with over 10,000 rental apartments. The City’s single-family districts are built-out and most future development will be concentrated in the Perimeter Dunwoody section of the City.

Community Background

The City of Dunwoody

Although Dunwoody only incorporated as a city in 2008, it has been a recognized place using the name

Dunwoody since the 19th century when the area was first settled for farming. The community identity was further enhanced in the 1970’s when development pressures first arose after the completion of I-

285. As an un-incorporated place, citizens banded together to form the Dunwoody Homeowners

Association to represent residential interests and negotiate with developers and DeKalb County on land use and growth decisions.

Dunwoody’s population has grown steadily over the last few decades, but the growth rate has been leveling off as the City has become built out. Between 1980 and 2000, Dunwoody’s population nearly doubled from just under 20,000 to almost 40,000. The City then grew by roughly 20% from 2000 to

2010, during which the City incorporated (2008). Heading through and out of the Great Recession, growth has flattened, with the City growing by about 7% to nearly 50,000 residents between 2010-2019.

In terms of population composition, Dunwoody’s age-sex distribution largely mirrors that of the Atlanta metro, with the largest cohort in the economically active age groups between 25 and 59 years of age.

Dunwoody’s population has a proportionally large over-70 population, however. The racial distribution in Dunwoody reflects that of the 10-county metro area loosely, although the City is home to a smaller proportion of residents of color. However, Dunwoody has become more diverse in the past decade. The proportion of all residents of color, and residents who identified as two or more races, has increased, while the proportion of white residents has decreased.

According to the Metro Atlanta Housing Strategy (https://metroatlhousing.org), the character of the

City’s housing stock falls into three main subareas: neighborhoods near employment corridors, with a

6 | P a g e 7 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 1 mix of newer and older higher priced homes and higher rents – concentrated in the southwestern corner of the City around Perimeter Center with a mix of single-family and multifamily units housing both renters and owners; moderate-to-higher-priced neighborhoods near employment centers with a mix of single-family and multifamily units housing both renters and owners – found in the southern and southeastern areas of the City; and moderate-to-higher-priced neighborhoods consisting almost entirely of single-family homes – making up northern Dunwoody.

Dunwoody is experiencing a moderate shift in the composition of its housing stock. While the City gained roughly 1,200 dwelling units since 2010, that growth has been concentrated in multifamily.

Simultaneously, the proportion and raw number of single-family homes decreased.

Multi-family development exploded in the 2000’s with the conversion of over 1 million square feet of one and two story office buildings to Apartments. A change in DeKalb County zoning allowed 1 and 2 story properties zoned Office-Institutional to develop multi-family projects without variances, SLUPs or rezoning’s. This “loop hole” was eventually closed by DeKalb County, but one of the drivers for incorporation was the desire of citizens to gain stronger control of zoning and growth issues, partly as a result of the loop hole.

Perimeter Center

The origin of Atlanta’s first Interstate Edge City - Perimeter Center dates back to 1969, when Michael

Gearon, developer of Executive Park (Atlanta’s first suburban interstate oriented office park at I-85 and

North Druid Hills Drive), purchased farmland owned by the Spruill family for a new commercial development anticipating the opening of the I-285 perimeter beltway later that year. Residential communities had already developed on all sides of this area, paced by the affluent Dunwoody community to the north and east.

Perimeter Center was originally 500+ acres and was envisioned as an architecturally and density-controlled campus like office park that would incorporate office and retail activity in a heavily wooded – rustic setting. Almost immediately, Gearon and Company sold 70 acres to the Rouse Corporation to develop what would become Perimeter Mall which was completed in the summer of 1971. Gearon sold his interest in the project to two associates, Harvey Mathis and Mack Taylor, triggering a new phase of growth for the area and creating one of Atlanta’s venerable office developers, Taylor & Mathis. Taylor &

Mathis developed over 30 single-tenant and multi-tenant office buildings over the next 25 years.

The birth of the Perimeter Center coincided with the birth of Modern Atlanta. The explosion of growth that began in the 1970’s with the investment in infrastructure: construction of I-285, expansion of the

Connector through Downtown, improvements to Hartsfield International Airport, and the construction of MARTA created the basic contours of the Atlanta Region that you still see today.

Ultimately, Perimeter center expanded beyond the original footprint in Dunwoody and DeKalb County and pushed south of I-285 into what is now Brookhaven and West into Fulton County, now the City of

Sandy Springs. Perimeter Center is one of the largest contiguous commercial markets in the Southeast with 36M square feet of office space and 11M square feet of retail, 5,500 hotel rooms, and 37,000 apartments.

Perimeter Dunwoody Sub-district

The Perimeter Dunwoody Sub-district consists of the commercial market located within the City of

Dunwoody limits. It’s made up of the original Perimeter Market developed in 1969 concentrated around

Perimeter Mall and the Dunwoody MARTA Station.

Significant Real Estate Projects Underway or Recently Completed

Since its earliest incarnation, the Perimeter Dunwoody market has been considered an attractive place to live and do business due to strong public infrastructure, transportation access and geographic proximity to the region’s educated workforce. Located 13 miles north of the Atlanta Central Business

District along I-285, Dunwoody’s central location and high level of regional accessibility is one of its biggest advantages. Georgia 400 is easily accessible at multiple locations and the Dunwoody MARTA

Station connects the market to the region’s largest transit system.

Park Center – State Farm selected the Perimeter Dunwoody market for the site of their third Regional

Employment Hub and started construction on the 21 acre site in 2014, completing Building I (602,000

SF) in 2016, Building II (670,000 SF) in 2020, and Building III (440,000 SF) in 2021. A fourth building pad is being marketed as a development site for up to 700,000 square feet of office. Park Center will include more than 50,000 square feet of retail space constructed around a central green space and public plaza, fully integrated into the urban fabric of the area.

Twelve24 Hammond – Trammel Crow finished the new mixed-use project in early 2020 across the street from Park Center. The project consists of a 335,000 square foot office building and 177 room Hyatt Place

Hotel. The Office and Hotel have direct access to the Dunwoody MARTA Station. The building is fully leased to InSight Global and recently sold for $565 per square foot.

Perimeter Marketplace – Branch Properties is re-developing 10 acres on Ashford-Dunwoody Road that was originally developed in 1999 as three restaurants constructed around a storm water detention pond that acted as an amenity for the project. The new development will consist of a 25,000 sf Publix Grocery

Store and another 43,000 square feet of retail. Although not urban in density, this design offers surface parking for the development while placing street facing retail along Ashford-Dunwoody Road and

Meadow Lane that creates a more walkable and connected site.

Office 8.3M Square Feet 21.6% Vacancy Rate $31.47 Market Rent/SF $222 Market Sale Price/SF

Retail 3.4M Square Feet 4.1% Vacancy Rate $28.75 Market Rent/SF $201 Market Sale Price/SF

Apartments 5,307 Units 4.6% Vacancy Rate $1,705 Market Rent/SF $249,000 Market Sale Price/Unit

Hotels 2,100 Rooms $93 Average Daily Rate $36 - 12 Month Revenue Per Room $183,000 Market Sale Price/Room

Commercial Development

8 | P a g e 7 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 1

Hospitality Investment – Four new hotels have been constructed in the market since 2011 consisting of

593 rooms. The Hospitality sector represents a growth market for the district as business travelers and visitors look for more convenient options outside the urban core. The latest hotel, an AC by Marriott is opening later this summer.

Planned Projects

High Street – The long planned 42 acre mixed-use development is on the cusp of construction on Phase

I, consisting of 150,000 sf of retail, 40,000 sf of loft office, renovation of the existing 230,000 sf office building, and 598 apartments. Phase I is designed around a green space that will act as the center of the development, creating a new gathering place for the entire Perimeter Dunwoody Market.

84 Perimeter – Recently approved mixed-use development with 225 units of active senior residential and 40,000 sf of retail on Ashford Dunwoody Road across the street from Perimeter Mall.

Campus 244 – Redevelopment of the former headquarters of Goldkist and Cotton States Insurance, the

13 acre site contains the existing 265,000 sf office building, but is entitled to 1 million square feet of office and up to 400 hotel rooms.

PART TWO – SCOPE OF SERVICES

General

The City of Dunwoody would like to develop a new vision for the future redevelopment of the Perimeter

Dunwoody market that is shared by elected officials, the DeKalb board of the Perimeter CID, major property owners, governmental partners, and community stakeholders.

The City of Dunwoody and ARC anticipate the following outcomes from the study to be:

Provide an updated vision that reflects current conditions and 20-year build out.

Develop transportation investments that provide for safe movement of pedestrians, bicycles, and transit in, through and around the Perimeter LCI area.

Develop case studies of comparable edge cities that provide real world examples of what the district could look like under chosen growth scenario.

Develop a 3D GIS model of the growth scenario that is compatible with the City of Dunwoody’s

ESRI ArcGIS based System, and can be revised by city staff.

Develop a Fiscal Impact Model for the city, county and school system that can be adjusted in future years and future economic conditions.

Scope of Services

Task 1 - Public Engagement:

Dunwoody understands that the success of this vision depends on the community’s involvement in its creation, and as such expects a robust stakeholder and community engagement program. The goal of this task is to develop a local outreach process that promotes the involvement of all stakeholders in the study area. Given the polarization of the Dunwoody community between commercial and residential interests, especially in regard to school overcrowding and transportation issues, this task is of critical importance.

The public engagement process shall, at a minimum, include the following components:

Project Management Team Meetings – While the Director of Economic Development will provide day-to-day guidance, the Project Management Team will provide guidance at critical junctures to the consultant team.

Stakeholder Advisory Committee Meetings – Hold meetings as necessary with the Stakeholder Advisory Committee to provide feedback and adjustment to the scenarios described below to develop the shared vision of the Perimeter Dunwoody area.

Technical Advisory Committee Meetings - Although most of the Technical Advisory Committee work will be done prior to the consultant team starting work, it may be helpful to check-in with the Committee periodically to gain insight on projections.

Project information shall be uploaded to a project website to provide basic project information to the public along with project materials and meeting summaries.

General Public Meetings:

11 | P a g e 7 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 1

The consultant will schedule at least two public open engagement opportunities, in a format determined by the project team, the following topics/milestones should be covered by the public engagement activities (at a minimum):

Provide an overview of the study process, the goals of the study, key dates, and opportunities for public input.

Solicit opinions on community needs, and vision on the future of the Perimeter Dunwoody Area.

Seek input and consensus on preferred scenario.

Virtual meetings and/or digital engagement activities can be used to meet the above activities.

The City is looking to the consultant team to propose innovative public engagement strategies beyond what has been identified in the RFP. The core reason this project is being undertaken is that the community is at odds due to the lack of a coherent vision that is based on realistic market dynamics. It is critical that a well thought out plan is in place to navigate the ensuing debate.

Task 2 - Scenario Development:

The goal of this task is to develop three future growth scenarios that can be used to examine land use and transportation impacts within the Perimeter Dunwoody area. This analysis and resulting recommendations should be coordinated with other completed studies, programs, developments, and organizations, and be supported with case studies from comparable edge cities with similar density and development patterns.

At the onset of the process, the consultant will create three draft development scenarios for the

Perimeter Dunwoody district for a 20-year period based on market forces and regulatory environment.

The consultant will apply current development trends in Metro Atlanta and leading national suburban markets similar to Perimeter to forecast market-driven development patterns. A significant focus of the study will be on the appropriate mix of uses including office, retail, housing and hospitality, the impacts on infrastructure of each, the benefits, and obstacles to development.

The consultant team will create a GIS Based 3-D model of each scenario that is compatible with

Dunwoody’s existing GIS system, which is on ESRI’s ArcGIS platform.

Each scenario will have a different Fiscal Impact Analysis over the 20-year period.

Once the preferred vison scenario has been selected, the consultant team will identify transportation investments needed to support that scenario.

Task 3 – Preferred Scenario Selection

Scenario planning is based on the idea that to develop a plan for the future, we first need to know what we want the future to be. The consultant will propose a process to explore a range of planning choices and their potential outcomes with the Stakeholder Group, in effect “trying out” where the different scenarios might lead the community. The Scenario process will work down from the three scenarios to a

“preferred growth scenario” – a vision of what the Perimeter Dunwoody Market will look like in 2040.

12 | P a g e 7 / 1 5 / 2 0 2 1

Task 4 - Project Deliverables:

The goal of this task is to compile the results of the overall work effort, the study process, relevant findings, and recommendations into a final plan document. The final study document shall include the following (not necessarily in this order):

Existing Conditions (provided by Technical Advisory Committee)

Existing and planned transportation infrastructure including transit proposals (provided by

Technical Advisory Committee)

Existing development entitlements (provided by Technical Advisory Committee)

Existing and future school capacity (provided by Technical Advisory Committee)

Description of Development Scenarios

Description and visual representations of selected Case Studies

Conceptual Massing Plans: provide a 3-D depiction of each development scenario that is compatible with Dunwoody’s GIS System.

Fiscal & Economic Impact Analysis: provide a fiscal impact to school system, county and city for each scenario. Identify impacts on economic output, jobs, tax revenue, increased costs, and population growth.

Summary Narrative: Highly-graphic representation of the preferred development scenario along with a summary of stakeholder group discussions.

Obstacles and supporting actions: List of identified obstacles and needed supporting actions for the selected scenario, including transportation improvements.
