An ordinance proposes to rezone five parcels (1089 Allene Avenue SW, 1078 Biglin Street SW, 1050 Murphy Avenue SW, 0 Sylvan Road SW, and 1100 Sylvan Road SW) in the Oakland City neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia. The rezoning seeks to change the zoning from I-1-C/BL (Light Industrial Conditional/Beltline Overlay) to I-MIX-C/BL (Industrial Mixed Use Conditional/Beltline Overlay). This change aims to implement recommendations from the BeltLine Subarea 2 Masterplan for the Murphy Triangle area. The I-MIX district is intended to accommodate both residential and non-residential growth while retaining industrial uses. The plan promotes large and small businesses and ensures compatibility between industrial and non-industrial uses within the same development. The overall site area is 18.55 acres (808,257 SF), with a maximum proposed floor area ratio (FAR) of 3.3 NLA, totaling 2,667,248 SF. The development program includes an estimated 1,100 residential units and 180,000 SF of commercial space. The NPU S policy encourages economic development, job growth, and housing at different price points, including affordable and workforce housing. The item was held in committee on September 23, 2024, for additional information and further review, as it has been consistently held or returned as held in subsequent meetings.
