East Avenue second-story plan seeks 3.8-foot setback instead of 15 feet

A proposed second-story addition at 547 East Avenue NE would need permission to reduce a required yard setback from 15 feet to 3.8 feet. Atlanta’s Board of Zoning Adjustment lists the request for review Nov. 5.⁠[1]

The property sits at the southwest corner of East Avenue and Prospect Place. The agenda identifies Falcon Murty as the applicant and Anna Roberto and Jacob Schwartz as the owners.⁠[1]

The application seeks an 11.2-foot reduction in what the agenda calls the “half-depth front yard setback.” But the listing supplies neither drawings nor an explanation for the request. It does not establish whether the upper floor would follow the existing building footprint or extend toward the property boundary.⁠[1]

Case V-26-142 is scheduled for the board’s noon meeting in the second-floor Council Chambers. The agenda records requested relief, not permission already granted for the addition.⁠[1]
