This ordinance approves the rezoning of 665 and 693 Marietta Street NW from I-1/MSA (Light Industrial) to MRC-3/MSA (Mixed Residential Commercial) to allow for a mixed-use development that integrates residential and commercial spaces. The property spans 7.334 acres and is located at a prominent intersection of Marietta Street and North Avenue. The rezoning facilitates a transition towards more urban, pedestrian-friendly development, in line with the Marietta Street Artery Overlay District's goals.
Rezoning this property supports the City of Atlanta’s broader strategy to promote mixed-use, high-density development, which encourages walkability and transit access. It helps to revitalize key corridors in the Marietta Street area by attracting residential and commercial activities that will benefit the surrounding community.
