Local brief
A smaller-lot switch is proposed for 240 Altoona Place
The request would keep single-family zoning and the Beltline overlay, but change the lot-size designation. Zoning Review Board review is scheduled for December 3.
The zoning labels both say “single-family,” but the proposed switch at 240 Altoona Place SW points toward smaller residential lots. HDB Investments LLC is seeking the change for its 0.456-acre Atlanta property.[1][2]
Case Z-26-62 would change the designation from R-4/BL to R-4B/BL. Atlanta’s published zoning-district guide lists a minimum lot size of 0.21 acres for R-4 and 0.06 acres for R-4B. Both are single-family residential districts; the proposal would retain the Beltline overlay.[1][2]
That distinction explains the smaller-lot request, not a specific building plan. The agenda entry provides no proposed home count or subdivision layout, and the district guide is undated. Those listed minimums should not be read as a calculation of how many homes could be built on this property.[1][2]
The request is listed among new cases for the Atlanta Zoning Review Board’s December 3, 2026 meeting, scheduled for 6 p.m. in the second-floor City Council Chambers. It is a scheduled zoning review, not an approval. The property is in Neighborhood Planning Unit K and Council District 4.[1]
