The Atlanta City Council approved a rezoning application for 123 Main Street, changing the zoning from R-3 (Residential Single-Family) to MR-4 (Mixed Residential). This decision allows for the development of a 4-story, 60-unit mixed-use residential building which will include ground-floor retail space. The approval came with several conditions, including a maximum building height of 4 stories, a requirement for a minimum of 15% open space, and a contribution of $50,000 to the city's affordable housing trust fund. The project has an estimated total cost of $15,000,000 and is situated on a 2.5-acre parcel. Green Space Developers LLC is the applicant and developer, represented by Emily White, with Design Concepts Inc. as the architect.
