The Atlanta City Council adopted Ordinance 24-O-1694, which amends the 1982 Atlanta Zoning Ordinance by revising the definition of a “Party House.” The new definition clarifies a 'Party House' as a single-family, two-family, or multi-family dwelling unit used for a commercial event where a fee is charged for property use or entry, excluding events for 501(c)(3) non-profits or business/civic/political organizations. The ordinance also includes a reference chart outlining permitted and prohibited zoning districts for Party Houses, with a 150-foot buffer from residential zones where permitted. This amendment aims to address the intrusion of commercial events into residential areas, which have led to noise, traffic, and other disturbances, and to provide clarity for both the public and city personnel regarding these restrictions. The measure was adopted unanimously by the City Council.
