This ordinance, sponsored by Councilmember Dustin Hillis, amends the 1982 Atlanta Zoning Ordinance, specifically Chapter 40 regarding the Marietta Street Artery Overlay District. The amendment permits 'Clubs and Lodges' as a permissible use within properties zoned Planned Development-Mixed Use District (PD-MU) in the MSA Overlay. This is subject to specific conditions: the club or lodge use must contain a minimum of 7,500 square feet, be located in a building with at least six stories, and the building must not contain any residential uses. The amendment aims to ensure future development aligns with the mixed-use character of the district while providing an added layer of review for uses exceeding 7,500 square feet that serve alcohol. The City Council adopted this ordinance by a vote of 12 Yeas to 0 Nays.
