Wylie Street guest house gets staff support for larger accessory-floor-area allowance

Atlanta zoning staff recommends approval of a guest-house proposal on Wylie Street near Flat Shoals Avenue in Reynoldstown. The Oct. 1 report for V-26-105 supports a special exception increasing the accessory structure’s permitted total floor area from 30% of the main structure’s floor area to 50.4%.

Staff identifies the lot’s size and width as exceptional conditions: it is approximately 3,032 square feet below the minimum lot area and 27.31 feet narrower than required. The approval recommendation is addressed to the Board of Zoning Adjustment; it is not a record of the board granting the exception.
