Council approves 180-day pause on new District 8 subdivisions into three or more lots

Atlanta City Council adopted Sept. 21 an ordinance establishing a 180-day moratorium on accepting new applications to subdivide property into three or more lots within City Council District 8. Ordinance 26-O-1509 advances beyond the previously reported favorable committee recommendation.

The stated restriction concerns new subdivision applications meeting that lot-count threshold, rather than all construction in the district. The delivered minutes do not establish the effective-date trigger, the resulting expiration date or treatment of applications already pending.
