This ordinance amends the 2021 Atlanta Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) to rezone the property at 596 Paines Avenue NW from Single Family Residential (SFR) to Medium Density Residential (MDR). The rezoning allows for the construction of multifamily units and aligns with Atlanta's goal to increase affordable housing stock in this area.

Why it Matters

The rezoning is crucial to address the need for affordable housing in Atlanta by enabling higher density residential development in an area previously zoned for single-family homes.
