Atlanta’s Zoning Committee unanimously recommended a substituted ordinance Sept. 28 to require special-use permits for self-storage facilities. The proposal says the permit process would allow the city to review a new facility’s neighborhood impacts and location.

Ordinance 26-O-1397, zoning case Z-26-46, adds special-permit provisions in commercial and industrial districts. It also adds a permit provision for mixed-use storage facilities with less than 100,000 square feet of storage floor area. The recommendation does not enact these requirements; the minutes list Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. as the next checkpoint.
