Wesley Drive second-story addition gets staff backing for three-foot setback relief

Atlanta zoning staff recommends approval of a second-story addition on Wesley Drive at Riada Drive in the Memorial Park neighborhood. The Oct. 1 report for V-26-120 supports reducing the half-depth front-yard setback from 25 feet to 22 feet.

Staff says the existing home, built in 1969, already lies approximately 22 feet from the applicable property line. The requested relief would let the addition generally follow the existing footprint rather than create further encroachment. This is a staff recommendation to the Board of Zoning Adjustment, not a recorded board approval.
