A message from City Planning:
The scheduled ATL 2.0 Zoning Rewrite Workshop meetings are being cancelled, and will be rescheduled. The first workshop was scheduled for August 30, 2022, at the Buckhead Library. The City is close to completing the search for a new Commissioner of Planning, and the Interim Commissioner has had to take a short leave of absence for personal reasons. The City wants to ensure leadership is in place for this important engagement and participation with the community. The Zoning Code rewrite is critically important for the city, and these meetings will move forward once a new Planning Commissioner is in place. Please check https://atlzoning.com/ for information and updates.
