If possible, can you please email atlzoning2@atlantaga.gov with specific parcels you are thinking of. The conversions must apply the same in every part of the city and we'd need to stufy them in detail.

This is an RG3 lot that contains Hanover House/Colony House/ Ansley Terrace. These began their life in 1904 as three+ single family lots and were developed in 1975 as part of Colony Square, the original design was a step down from the high density on Peachtree to the neighborhood scale of Ansley Park. Again, what makes this so successful are the beautiful D=4+S+L/10 setbacks, these buildings do not impose on the surrounding R4 lots. This development was a product of robust community input. The only egress on these lots are from the residential 15th Street and a LIT lane will soon be implemented there. RG3 says that buildings over 50 units may have commercial uses that serve their residents and are designed and scaled for their residents, perhaps this original language can be added into R2? General commercial uses in embedded RG3 lots will bring a myriad of issues, traffic, parking, deliveries, garbage, noise etc. Embedded properties that wish to have general commercial uses should go through the public process so neighborhoods can weigh in. Please consider converting Embedded Large Lot Rg3 to N6A-R2

This is Ansley Walk Terrace, a condo building with over 30 units on a RG2 lot. The lot is contiguous to 17 R-4 single family lots. The only form of egress is a small, dead-end street without sidewalks. Keeping embedded lots like this at a neighborhood scale is important within neighborhoods. Converting this to N6A will still allow people growth while ensuring setbacks that respect surrounding properties.

Please consider converting the outlier Large Embedded RG3 to N6A-R2. This more closely fits the existing pattern within neighborhoods.

Suggestion
Please consider converting the outliers, Large Embedded RG2, to N6A-R2 to uphold neighborhood scale development.

Suggestion
This is especially true for ALL embedded RG2 and RG3 lots.
Please consider a conversion of these outlier Large Embedded RG2 and RG3 lots to N6. Embedded meaning lots that are within an R1-R4 neighborhood with the only egress from a residential street.

Suggestion
Please also consider the conversion of Embedded Large lot RG2 and RG3 - these internal lots were often the result of many small lots merged together. Many of these multi-family developments match the intent of RG pattern to fit its surroundings at a neighborhood scale. The complicated yet beautiful side set back formula D=4+s+L/10 has kept green space between these developments and the street and single family houses that surround them. Most are results of robust community input to ensure no negative impact to surrounding homes and they are shining examples of how increased people density does not have to equate with increased physical density. Please consider N6 for these lots so future development respects the neighborhood scale setbacks
