Discussion Draft Parking Zone Map

Review and comment on the draft Parking Zone Map

You can also view this map and make comments here. This link includes a zoom-in/out option.

This map establishes parking requirements citywide. It is intended to remove parking requirements from individual zoning districts and tie them to context, availability of public transportation, and levels of walkability, as follows:

  • Parking Zone 1 (PZ1): No parking minimums. Incorporates parking maximums. Includes areas with no existing parking requirement, plus minor edge adjustments.

  • Parking Zone 2 (PZ2): Same as PZ1, except parking is required for lounges, nightclubs, bars, and party houses. Includes the Beltline and Buckhead Parking Overlays, plus minor edge adjustments. 

  • Parking Zone 3 (PZ3): Reduced parking minimums, not maximums. Includes corridors with frequent existing and proposed bus services, plus areas within lower existing requirements. 

  • Parking Zone 4 (PZ4): Standard parking minimums, no maximums.

Please share any thoughts you have with us. Your comments will be used to shape the future drafts of ATL Zoning 2.0.

Answer
Thank you for your comment. There are already parking requirements in Buckhead Lenox that do require parking for certain alcohol-related uses. Those are reflected here. PZ1 and PZ2 are identical, except that PZ2 does require parking for certain alcohol-related uses.

Answer
Thank you for your comment. This PZ4 area in Home Park reflects the current Home Park Parking Overlay, which imposes parking requirements that overrule other standards.

Answer
Thank you for your comments. This map is guided by existing City policies and regulations. The citywide elimination of parking requirements (e.g., PZ1 everywhere) would need to be a policy decision initiated by elected officials.

Question
Why does Atlanta need parking minimums anywhere? Austin, Minneapolis, Nashville, Raleigh, Richmond, San Jose, Seattle, and other cities have eliminated them citywide. This would go a long way towards decreasing reliance on cars and increasing space available for other means of transportation. It would also make housing cheaper.

Suggestion
This area, and almost everywhere else inside the Beltline, should be PZ2 at the minimum and preferably PZ1.
replies

Suggestion
This is a dense mixed-use area with easy transit access. It should be PZ1.

Suggestion
This is Midtown Atlanta and should encourage the best use of space with no parking minimums.
replies

hugh.malkin Jan 8 2025 at 4:07PM on page 1

Suggestion
At a minimum this area of Midtown should be PZ3 at best it should be PZ1 with no minimums.

Answer
Thank you for your feedback. Zoning does not control the parking of vehicles in the public right-of-way. All such concerns should be directed to the ATLDOT.

Question
Thank you for your feedback. Do you mean PZ1?

Answer
Thank you for your suggestions. PZ1 reflects the current "high-capacity transit" parking standard within a 1/2 mile walk of the Inman Park-Reynoldstown MARTA station. Concerns about street parking and operations should be directed to ATLDOT.

Suggestion
As you approach the major intersection of Whitefoord and Memorial, traffic stacks up so heavily and streets become impassible at rush hours, largely due to no parking controls in place currently. PZ4 is not going to work here.
replies

DSol Jan 3 2025 at 7:53AM on page 1

Suggestion
Regarding Whitefoord Ave SE, a major thoroughfare for our community, we need some maximums and something that controls which side of the street you can park on - El Tesoro and upcoming restaurants (which we love) have increased parked cars exponentially and will soon make our neighborhood impassible. Therefore, PZ4 is not a good idea for these streets where traffic must pass through.

Question
Due to contemporary pushes towards densification, Wylie street and others have practically turned into a one way impassible street with all the beltline expansion and parking. Will PZ1 fix this?

Answer
Parking zones are based on; 1. Areas with no or low existing parking requirement (yellow and dark gray); 2. Major corridors with existing/future frequent bus service (gray); and 3. Existing standard regulations (light tan). They are intended to align with transit and trail access and the general walkability of the neighborhood -- not the specific use of the property.

Question
Parking zone locations seem to have no correlation to the Storefront Street Map. Is there a more granular way to determine parking requirements - based on adjacent street type, storefront requirements, etc? (This may already be provided elsewhere.)

Question
I thought 16-36.001 exempted R-4 zoned property from the Beltline Overlay parking regulations.
