The Atlanta City Council considered an ordinance to rezone the property at 335 Sawtell Avenue from R-4 (Single-Family Residential) to MRC-1 (Mixed Residential Commercial). This rezoning aims to modify the official zoning map and facilitate the creation of a diversified urban environment, consistent with the 2013 Lakewood Heights Livable Centers Initiative report. The objective is to establish new residential and commercial uses with appropriate architectural, site, and street design, and provide sufficient, safe, and accessible open space. The proposal seeks to create attractive neighborhood-serving commercial districts in existing underserved neighborhoods. The Zoning Committee unanimously referred the ordinance to the full committee on March 24, 2025.
