The Atlanta City Council approved Ordinance 25-O-1067 amending the 2021 Atlanta Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) to redesignate several parcels along Bernard Road NW from the Industrial (I) land use designation to Single Family Residential (SFR). This change impacts 2220 Bernard Road NW and the adjacent parcels 2226, 2230, 2234, 2238, 2242, and 2246 Bernard Road NW, identified under parcel ID 17 0253 LL0694. The redesignation supports a transition toward low-density residential development in the area, aligning with surrounding neighborhood character and long-term planning objectives under NPU D and Council District 9. The ordinance was adopted after a public hearing and multiple committee reviews.
This land use change reflects a strategic move by the City of Atlanta to support neighborhood-scale residential growth and reduce industrial encroachment in residential areas. It paves the way for new housing opportunities aligned with community vision plans.
