Pelham Street abandonment plan would lapse without a recorded deed within one year

Atlanta’s held Pelham Street NW abandonment proposal would become null and void if a quitclaim deed is not recorded within one year of the ordinance’s effective date. That proposed deadline would run from the ordinance’s effective date, not the committee hold.

Ordinance 26-O-1523 would abandon and convey 0.181 acres between Oliver Street NW and Lindsay Street NW at fair-market value to applicant Westside Acquisitions I LLC. Existing public and private utility easements would remain, allowing access to operate, maintain or replace utility facilities.

The Transportation Committee unanimously held the measure Sept. 30. The minutes list Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. as the next checkpoint; the hold does not establish a completed abandonment or sale.
