Discussion Draft Storefront Street Map
This map establishes locations where any new, more intense development must provide a ground story that either contains or could contain commercial uses, as specified in some Form Districts. Essentially, it requires a storefront character, even if the space is used for other uses, such as housing. It is intended to ensure that large buildings are designed in such a way that they can change use over time and support more neighborhood goods and services.
The concept of Storefront Streets is already law in several parts of the City (including Midtown and Downtown), as reflected in this map. Furthermore, Storefront Streets also include any small neighborhood commercial districts with an existing storefront character, whether mapped or not. Examples of the latter include portions of McLendon Avenue in Candler Park, portions of McDaniel Street in Pittsburgh, or portions of Grant Street in Grant Park.
Please share any thoughts you have with us. Your comments will be used to shape the future drafts of ATL Zoning 2.0.
