City of Atlanta Zoning Ordinance Discussion

On Thursday, August 28, from 6:00 – 7:00 PM the BWHCC hosted a virtual discussion concerning the proposed new zoning ordinance for the City of Atlanta. The City has been engaged in drafting proposed changes to the entire ordinance for several years now and is taking comments from residents and community stakeholders through September 2, 2025, on the proposed changes. As this discussion was specific to the impact to homeowners residing in the Brookwood Hills neighborhood, only BWHCC resident members were invited to attend.  Following are the links to the relevant materials and below is some additional information about this effort.
