An ordinance proposed by Councilmember Marci Collier Overstreet seeks to amend Chapter 54, Article I, Section 54-1 of the City of Atlanta Code of Ordinances, which pertains to affordable housing. The proposed amendment aims to provide an exemption from the mandatory affordable housing requirements for publicly subsidized multi-family residential properties specifically designated for student housing. The ordinance intends to create a carve-out for this specific type of development, potentially to facilitate the creation of student housing projects without the burden of mandatory affordable housing set-asides.
