The Atlanta City Council adopted Ordinance 24-O-1140, approving the rezoning of three parcels located at 934 Avon Avenue SW, 972 Avon Avenue SW, and 1244 Higgins Street SW. The properties, totaling 8.44 acres, were rezoned from I-1-C/BL (Light Industrial Conditional/BeltLine Overlay) to MRC-3/BL (Mixed Residential Commercial/BeltLine Overlay). The rezoning facilitates the development of a mixed-use project that includes approximately 850 residential units. While the NPU recommended approval, both the Zoning Review Board (ZRB) and City Staff had recommended denial of the application. The City Council ultimately voted 14 yeas to 0 nays to adopt the ordinance, overriding the staff and ZRB recommendations.
