This ordinance amends the Land Use Element of the 2021 Atlanta Comprehensive Development Plan to redesignate the property located at 2194 Martin Luther King Jr. Drive SW from Single Family Residential (SFR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR). The amendment allows for the construction of 7 for-sale market-rate homes, expected to be completed by August 2025. This change aligns with the city’s efforts to increase residential density and provide more housing options in this growing area.
The amendment supports Atlanta’s broader goals of increasing housing density and meeting the demand for more residential units. By allowing Medium Density Residential development, the city can better utilize available land while maintaining the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
