BACKGROUND
In 2015, the City of Atlanta commissioned a team of consultants to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the City’s Zoning Ordinance. This included review of:
1. The ability of the Zoning Ordinance to implement City policies, including those in the Comprehensive Development Plan, small area plans, and other documents;
2. Public perceptions of, and experience with, the Zoning Ordinance;3. The usability and clarity of the Zoning Ordinance to administer and use; and4. Best practices in zoning nationwide.
Upon completion of the assessment, the consultant prepared recommendations for consideration to the Office of Zoning &Development’s consideration about how the Zoning Ordinance could be improved. These recommendations and the technical review of the Ordinance are found in the Zoning Ordinance Diagnostic report.
• Quick Fixes: Updates are relatively easy to prepare, meet a critical need, and with broad public support (12 months)
• Future Code Changes: Updates that should be undertaken as part of the full Zoning Ordinance updates in 3-5 years
