Related Development, LLC (hereinafter, “Related”) is most grateful for the City of
Chamblee Downtown Development Authority’s (hereinafter, “DDA”) consideration of its
application for a property tax incentive which will be necessary to proceed with the Manor
Chamblee Project (hereinafter, the “Project”). Related also recognizes and appreciates the hard
work and support you and your staff at the DDA have provided to make this Project a significant
“win” for economic development in the City of Chamblee.
The Project is an ambitious redevelopment of an existing site along one of the most high-
traffic thoroughfares in the City. The Project will consist of a multi-family complex with over
9,000 sq. ft. of new, Class A commercial retail space. The Project will positively enhance the
aesthetics of the area and substantially increase the tax revenues for the City, School, and County.
Current property taxes collected on the Project site property are approximately $77,500. When the
Project is complete, annualized property tax payments for the term of the proposed abatement will
increase to approximately $1 million.
In addition to the revenue increase, approximately 40 new jobs with an estimated, average
annual salary in excess of $50,000 will be created by the Project. The infrastructure improvements
associated with the Project are also immense and include: an extension of the Chamblee Rail Trail,
new greenspace, new sidewalks, street lighting, crosswalks, traffic signals and a public access road
to be maintained by Related.
In order to make this Project financially feasible, the requested property tax abatement will
have to be approved.
Sincerely,
Ed Allen
Senior Vice President/Development
Related Development, LLC
Exhibits I, II, III, and IV included below
3. Exhibit III- Breakdown of Public Improvements and Site Specific Development Costs
Related Development, LLC (“Related”) submits this application to revitalize and redevelop
the property located at the corner of Peachtree Boulevard and Sexton Woods Drive. This
development includes three (3) parcels (5154 and 5180 Peachtree Boulevard and 3462 Sexton
Woods Drive) totaling 5.04 acres (the "Property"). The Project will consist of a new mixed-use
community complex which will include 382 residential rental units, ~9,000 sq. feet of Class A
commercial retail/restaurant space, and a parking deck. The Project will compliment similar
redevelopment efforts along Peachtree Boulevard and further the City's revitalization goals related
to increased connectivity and walkability in the area.
Enhancing and activating the Property frontage along Peachtree Boulevard, while also
improving access, are two of the major benefits of the Project . Currently, the buildings on the
Property are set back from the street with parking in front and to the side of the buildings.
Additionally, there are no sidewalks promoting safe pedestrian travel along Peachtree Boulevard.
With this Project’s completion, primary access to the Property will be from Peachtree Boulevard
and will align with the current traffic signal at the intersection of Peachtree Boulevard and
Chamblee Tucker Road. Eliminating the existing access into the 5154 Peachtree parcel will
improve safety and traffic conditions in the area. The sidewalk and landscaping additions will also
separate the pedestrian traffic from vehicles on Peachtree Boulevard and support the City's
increased focus on improving walkability in the area.
The Project plan features ground floor nonresidential uses along the Peachtree Boulevard
frontage, including three separate retail/restaurant commercial spaces. The Project’s retail spaces
along Peachtree Boulevard will all be provided patio and open space which will promote positive
community engagement and interaction among residences, retail guests, and Peachtree Boulevard
pedestrians. Finally, in addition to the pedestrian improvements along the site frontage, the Project
provides dedicated space for a future trail connection along the rear of the Property to extend the
City's rail trail to Sexton Woods Drive. This connectivity will increase the community’s access to
the Keswick Park.
Exhibit II: Development Budget
The total estimated development cost is roughly $101M. Related will spend roughly $6M in public
benefits and extraordinary costs, as follow:
• Rail Trail path that will include a multi-use path, with street trees, dark sky-compliant and
full-cutoff pedestrian streetlights, litter containers, benches, and similar sidewalk-related
items.
• Construction of new sidewalk along Peachtree Blvd. This would connect sidewalk at Elaine
Clark to Sexton Woods.
• Sitework: The property is topographically challenged, and Related will need to spend
roughly an additional $870,000 for extensive foundation walls and excavation.
• In response to community feedback, Related has significantly modified its site plan by
removing units towards the back of the Project and replacing them by adding an additional
floor along Peachtree Blvd. This has forced Related to modify its construction type to allow
for the added floor along Peachtree Blvd.
• City Council has conditioned its approval of the Project to adhere to some costly
requirements that Related has estimated to be over $500,000 Related will need additional
financial support to adhere to such conditions.

Table 2: Fiscal Impact Analysis for Manor Chamblee (10-year abatement) – 20 Years
Chamblee DeKalb School
Present Value of Net Revenues (NPV) $1,026,247 $6,507,580 $11,976,810
Present Value of Net Revenues (NPV) with Abatement $424,666 $5,223,757 $9,755,391
Present Value of the Abatement $601,581 $1,283,823 $2,221,419
With the exception of Chamblee’s 10-year impact with the abatement, the mixed-use
development’s fiscal impact on all three jurisdictions is positive with and without the
financial incentive. The abatement lowers NPVs substantially in the first 10 years but with
an additional 10 years with no abatement, the NPVs with and without the abatement
are decidedly closer.
It should be noted that current annual property taxes on the parcels making up this
project are only $10,983 for Chamblee, $23,439 for DeKalb County, and $40,559 for the
school system. The present value of these taxes over 10-years is $67,514, $199,941, and
$345,976 for Chamblee, DeKalb County, and the school system, respectively.
Demographics
Commuting patterns are used to allocate new households expected from the project
to the incorporated and unincorporated areas of the county, and outside the county.
Chamblee has its own set of commuting patterns based on Census estimates of jobs in
the city held by residents and non-residents. The source for these estimates is a U.S.
Bureau of the Census website called OnTheMap (http://onthemap.ces.census.gov/).
Population and housing estimates also are needed for the analysis as well as
employment and wages, and millage rates. Table 6 displays the population and
housing data, and Table 7 contains the employment and wages data. Average wages
in the county in 2019 came to $41,520.
Table 6: Population and Households 2019
Item Value
Total population in Chamblee: 29,691
Total housing units in Chamblee: 12,335
Total population in DeKalb County: 756,558
Total housing units in DeKalb County: 314,302
Source: U.S. Census Bureau
The regression model uses the value of total improvements in the city and in the county
for residential, commercial, and industrial sectors; as starting points. The percentage
change in these values is what drives the change in city and county revenues and
expenditures. Table 8 shows the 2019 market values and assessed values for each
sector in the county and in the city.
Project Data
Investment in the mixed-use project is expected to be $102.1 million once all
components are built. Multi-family residential investment is estimated to be $100.1
million and commercial investment in retail and restaurants, $2 million. Residential units
will consist of 230 one-bedroom, 134 two-bedroom, and 18 three-bedroom units.
New jobs are estimated to be eight for management and maintenance of the
residential facilities, 20 for retail, and 14 for restaurants. Average salary for the eight
management/maintenance jobs is $100,000, $65,000 for retail, and $65,000 for the
restaurants.

Present Value of the Abatement $601,581 $1,283,823 $2,221,419
No depreciation of real property is used in this analysis. While property values may
increase over time, if that increase is no greater than the rate of inflation then holding
the initial investment values constant over time is a reasonable assumption.
