Ponce de Leon mixed-use plan for 375 homes gets zoning panel backing

Atlanta’s Zoning Committee unanimously recommended Sept. 28 a mixed-use rezoning for properties on Ponce de Leon and Bonaventure avenues. The supporting housing impact statement describes a proposed development with 375 multifamily homes and nonresidential space.

The statement projects 57 homes affordable between 50.01% and 80% of area median income. These are projected impacts of the proposed legislation, not a record that the homes have been built.

Ordinance 26-O-1428, zoning case Z-26-38, would replace planned-development mixed-use and community-business designations with mixed-residential-commercial zoning while retaining the Beltline overlay. The minutes list Oct. 5 at 1 p.m. as the next checkpoint; the recorded action is a committee recommendation, not final rezoning approval.
