NOTES ON RELATED MATTERS

A. Since compiling the previous report (April 20, 1967), 23 additional proposals have becn made. Total is now 95. However, 13 of these proposals
constituting 3152 units, which were originally expected to be approved, have been rejected and are now considered as "lost". Tn addition, 18
croposals constituting 5,153 units are in scrious difficulty due privarily to objections from various sources as to lecations.

Foundation for Cooperative Housing, which developed Fasiwych Village and Cambridge Savare (both in DeXalb County), nov has a full tine
esentative in Atlanta and is seexing clients. They are sponsoring the 200 unit London Towne Houses development in Atlanta (Item F-5).

C, Saul Gray is a partner in a Corporation which owns 280 new units off Bankhead at Iloridge St., which he wants to sell, + a potential development
on the site for 512 additional units. Area is already zoned A~l.

D, Proposed lecations for low cost housing are beiny coordinated with the Planning Depbes when initially submitted, for adequacy of Community
Pacilities,cxisting or proposed. Proposals are also reviewed periodically with the School Dept. for adequacy of school facilities.

Es Rehabilitation by Housing Code Division of Building Department on Boulevard in Bedford-Pine U. R. Project (appre ximately 7CO units involved)
commenced February 1. The U. 2. project is still in survey and planning stage. A list is available in Housing Resources Committee oifice
of 103 units on Poulevard which the omers stated they wish to sell, rather than rehabilitate. This list has Been made available .o the H.A.
and to a National concern interested in developing a Rehabilitation Demonstration project in that area.

x
oe

In view of difficulties encountered in zoning and getting approvals on sites proposea for large multi-family developments, it is apparent that
the low income housing program will have to lean heavily on Developers and fuilders providing a substantial portion of the program on small
scattered sites. Thus far, 4l5 sin-le family houses (Item F-14) and 822 nits in duplexes and small apartment. developments under conventional
financing are already in this category.

G. No proposal has yet been made for construction of units (even efficiency or 1 bedroom) to rent for as low as $50.00 per month, The City's
greatest need is in the $30.00 ~ $50.00 per month rental range.

He Charles A. 'veller Companies of Jonesboro is promoting the Sweat Equity Program (FHA insured mortgare) whereby the purchaser earns the bulk of
his down payment through cleaning, painting and landscaping. National Homes Corp. of Lafayette, Inc. placed on the market Feb. 1, 1907, a
&amp;00 S.F. (0.8. dimensions) 3 bedroom, prefabricated, preassembled panel, single family house plus a 96 S.¥. (1.8. dimensions) storage bvilding
manufactured by Arrow Metal Products Corp, to sell under FHA 221 (d) (2). Price includes plumbing, electrical, heating nnit, slove *% refrigerator.
House can be completely assembled in 85 man hours; 53 of those were permitted in June for erection in the Thomasville Urban Renewal Area. |
Adrian Homes Corp. has proposed a prefab i. vetail for about $7,500 plus land, foundation, closing and possibly tapping fees.

 

I. See Summary (p. 26) for overall status of the program and Summary of Public Housing (p. 20) for the overall Pubiie Housing contribution to the
program.

The Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee of the City of
Atlanta, Georgia this date unanimously adopted a motion that the Committee
prepare a memorial for use by Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. in connection with his
scheduled testimony, Thursday, July 13, before the Senate Appropriations
Committee, pointing out the need for, and this Committee's support of,
reinstatement of the Rent Supplement program.

Atlanta is now promoting an accelerated five-year program for construction
of 16,800 low-cost housing units by the end of 1971, in order to provide decent,
safe and sanitary housing for all of its citizens. Of this amount, 9,800 units
are needed during 1967 and 1968.

The City has planned strongly on the Rent Supplement program to supplement
Public Housing for families in the lowest income brackets. Without it our Public
Housing requirements will have to be substantially increased.

The Rent Supplement program stimulates Private Enterprise in producing the
needed housing units, provides a wider field in both design and location, as
well as a broader economic mix, than conventional Public Housing developments.
At the same time it keeps the property on the tax digest at full tax value.

Although several Rent Supplement projects were in planning in Atlanta at
the time the funds were recently cut off by Congress, only two projects had
actually received final approval; one of 108 units for Wheat St. Gardens and
one of 150 units for the Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta.

This Committee sincerely hopes and strongly urges that the Senate Appropriations
Committee will see its way clear to reinstate the Rent Supplement program which
is so essential in meeting the needs of the lowest-income families in Atlanta,
as well as in most of the larger cities throughout this nation.

Comparison of.July 5 Analysis by HRC from Zoning Map and
Appendix to July 21 Memo. from Planning Department

Zoning Map was revised April 31, 1967.

Appendix was compiled as of January 1966.

As can be seen, discrepencies exist in both land lots and acreages
between the Zoning Map Analysis and the Appendix. This may be accounted for
by zoning changes and new developments which have taken place since the
compilation shown in the Appendix. HOSVE?, this reduces the dependency which
can be placed now on the compilation of figures shown in the Appendix,

See Summary at end of the attached Comparative Tabulations for acreages
already committed; turned down or rejected; and planned for other uses.

Vacant areas zoned A-L (understood to be generally for a specifically
planned development) and A~2' (not generally accepted locally as suitable for
low-cost housing, except for the Elderly) have not been generally included

ts this comparison. The vacant land in both categories is relatively small
however .

CONCLUSION s

In any event, from the attached comparison, it is quite obvious that the
land euvnendly zoned A=-1 is both inadequate in quantity and unequitably
distributed throughout the City to meet requirements of the low-income housing

program,

are small tracts of less than 1 acre located in otherwise developed
areas. Therefore, a series of maps at 400 scale was prepared showing
vacant land and zoning for use in the City's land use planning pro-
ject.

A copy of the data processing listing of parcel code numbers of vacant
parcels, zoning and acreage data was delivered to Steve Schwartz of
Cecil Alexander's office during the latter part of April; and; also
during the latter part of April, Mr. Schwartz was given access to the
400 scale maps in the Planning Department showing these vacant parcels.
These maps were copied and delivered to Mr. Alexander's office prior
to May l.

On June 28 at a meeting of the Planning and Development Committee,

a map of vacant and "under-developed" land was shown in connection
with the land use plan progress report. After this meeting, Malcolm
Jones requested that a copy of this map showing zoning of vacant areas
be provided to the Housing Resources Committee. This map was prepared
by the Planning Department and delivered to Col. Jones.

On July 6 this map and a preliminary analysis of areas zoned A-1 aad
vacant was presented to the Housing Resources Committee. The analysis
showed a total of 482 acres "zoned for apartments". The apparent
discrepancy between this figure and the 802 acres shown in the data
processing analysis can be explained by the fact that the maps used

in both couputations, although similar, were not really comparable.
The map used in the Housing Resources Committee analysis was at a4
scale of 2,000 feet to the inch and the maps used in the data process-
ing analysis were at a scale of 400 feet to the inch. Due to the
small maps at a scale of 2,000 feet to the inch, accurate measurement
is difficult, and, additionally, only large parcels can be shown.

At 400 scale, more accurate representation and measurement are possible.

Therefore, upon receipt by the Planning Department of the committee
request for additional data, further detailed maps at 400 scale were
prepared showing only significant vacant tracts (4 acres and larger),
so that a more detailed listing of vacant land could be made. A
preliminary analysis has been made by the Planning Department of each
significant tract, and the result of this analysis is presented in
Appendix A to this memorandum,

The maps used in the analysis are available in the Planning Department
for detailed examination by interested parties.

The Planning Department agrees that the housing problem in Atlanta
is one of the major problems facing the City at this time, and recommends

Memorandum To: Members, Executive Group, Housing Resources Committee

Subject: Report on Vacant Land in Atlanta

The attached report (Encl. 1) has been provided by the Planning Department
upon request of HRC (July 6 Executive Group Meeting) for total acerage zoned
Apartments, Commercial, Industrial and Residential. (Tabulation of vacant acerages
by Land Lot and District which accompanied the report has not been reproduced.)

Totals for each of the above zoning categories have been tabulated in
pencil on first page of the report to facilitate overall comparison.

The report shows the amount of vacant Industrial land to be approximately
3 times the vacant land zoned for multi-family and 6 times the vacant land zoned
Commercial. This appears to be excessive in view of current immediate needs of
the City, particularly for low income multi-family development.

The report also indicates that vacant land zoned Rl-), is approximately
3 times that zoned R5-9. The latter category only is applicable to low income
families, which apparently constitute the majority of families in Atlanta.

For detailed comparison between the HRC July 5 Analysis of vacant land
zoned for apartments (tabulated from Zoning Map previously provided by the
Planning Department) and the Appendix which accompanied the attached Planning

Department report, see Encl, 2) attached.

Comparison of.July 5 Analysis by HRC from Zoning Map and
Appendix to July 21 Memo. from Planning Department

Zoning Map was revised April 31, 1967.

Appendix was compiled as of January 1966.

As can be seen, discrepencies exist in both land lots and acreages
between the Zoning Map Analysis and the Appendix. This may be accounted for
by zoning changes and new: developments which have taken place since the
compilation shown in the Appendix. However, this reduces the dependency which
can be Placed now on the compilation of figures shown in the Appendix.

See Summary at end of the attached Comparative Tabulations for acreages
already committed; turned down or rejected; and planned for other uses.

Vacant areas zoned A-L (understood to be generally for a specifically
planned development) and A-2' (not generally accepted locally as suitable for
low-cost housing, except for the Elderly) have not been generally included
in this comparison. The vacant land in both categories is relatively small
however.

CONCLUSION s

In any event, from the attached comparison, it is quite obvious that the
land currently zoned A-1 is both inadequate in quantity and unequitably
distributed throughout the City to meet requirements of the low-income housing

program.

vacant land and zoning for use in the City's land use planning pro-
ject.

A copy of the data processing listing of parcel code numbers of vacant
parcels, zoning and acreage data was delivered to Steve Schwartz of
Cecil Alexander's office during the latter part of April; and, also
during the latter part of April, Mr. Schwartz was given access to the
400 scale maps in the Planning Department showing these vacant parcels.
These maps were copied and delivered to Mr. Alexander's office prio

to May l.

On June 28 at a meeting of the Planning and Development Committee,
ne of vacant and “under-developed” land was shown in connection
vith the land use plan progress report. After this meeting, Malcoin

Jones requested that a copy of this map showing zoning of vacant areas
be provided to the Housing Resources Committee. This map was prepared
by the Planning Department and delivered to Col. Jones.

On July 6 this map and a preliminary analysis of areas zoned A-1 and
vacant was presented to the Housing Resources Committee. The analysis
showed a total of 482 acres "zoned for apartments". The apparent
discrepancy between this figure and the §02 acres shown in the data
processing analysis can be explained by the fact that the maps used

in both couputations, although similar, were not really comparable.

The map used in the Housing Resources Committee analysis was at a
scale of 2,000 feet to the inch and the maps used in the data process-
ing analysis were at a scale of 400 feet to the inch. Due to the

small maps at a scale of 2,000 feet to the inch, accurate measurement

is difficult, and, additionally, only large parcels can be shown.

At 400 scale, more accurate representation and measurement are possible.

Therefore, upon receipt by the Planning Department of the committee
request for additional data, further detailed maps at 400 scale were
prepared showing only significant vacant tracts (4 acres and larger),
so that a more detailed listing of vacant land could be made. A
preliminary analysis has been made by the Planning Department of each
signif ESCANS tract, and the result of this analysis is presented in
Appendix A to this memorandum.

The maps used in the analysis are available in the Planning Department
for detailed examination by interested parties.

hat the joint meeting of the Planning and Development Comnittee

and the Housing Resources Gomnittee which has been requested be held
as soon as possible. At this mecting and at other subsequent meet-
gs, the City's housing policy should be examined. For example,
gnificant policy decision must be made on whether the low rent
using to be constructed should be of the garden apartment--medium
ensity--outlying location type or whether high rise-high density-
ntral area housing should be considered. Another problem is the
licy of relocation in urban renewal and other treatment activ
iould the displaced families and individuals be relocated in ¢
eneral area of the project or should attempts be made to relocate
2m in outlying areas? These are only a few items on which policy
cisions are necessary in order to insure that the low-cost housing
rogram meets the goals set for it at each of the critical time

hases over the next several years.

Subject: Report on Vacant Land in Atlanta

The attached report (Encl. 1) has been provided by the Planning Department
upon request of HRC (July 6 Executive Group Meeting) for total acerage zoned
sharthente, Commercial, Industrial and Residential. (Tabulation of vacant acerages
by Land Lot and District which accompanied the report has not been reproduced.)

Totals for each of the above zoning categories have been tabulated in
pencil on first page of the report to facilitate overall comparison,

* The report shows the amount of vacant Industrial land to be approximately
3 times the vacant land zoned for milti-family and 6 times the vacant land zoned
Commercial. This appears to be excessive in view of current immediate needs of
the City, particularly for low income multi-family development.

The report also indicates that vacant land zoned Rl-l; is approximately
3 times that zoned R5-9. The latter category only is applicable to low income
families, which apparently constitute the majority of families in Atlanta.

For detailed comparison between the HRC July 5 Analysis of vacant land

Memorandum To: Mayor Allen
From: Malcolm Jones
The action of the Zoning Committee yester day in turning down the re-zoning
of a 51 acre tract off Browntown Rd. (Zoning Petition #Z-67-124-D) from M-1
and R-5 to A-1 for Turnkey development was very disappointing to those of us
wor king in promotion of housing for low-income families. More s erious however
is the discouragement to owners, sponsors and developers of other tra cts under
considerat ion f or inclusion in the l ow-income housing program f or both Turnkey
and 221 d {3) development.
I recommend that you ask the Board of Aldermen to defer act ion on t his
pet i tion, rather than t o turn i t dovm, when it comes before them August 21.
The advantage of such action would be to at least del ay a turndown, which
would prohibit futur e considerat i on of t he sit e for 18 mont hs , and would perhaps
maintain a ray of hope in sponsors and developers f or other l ow-income housing
pr ojects under consideration.
This tract is one of only 5 t hus far tentatively approved by HUD for Turnkey,
after 9 months of effor t . Of the remaining f our, one 15 acre t r act r equires
r e-zoning and besides the owner has not yet agreed; another 20 acre tract i s
zoned appropriat el y but t he owner has not yet agr eed to sell f or this purpose .
This reduces the approved firm sit es t o two of 20 acres each (appr oximately
480 units ) .
The Browntown Rd. site i s now zoned predominately M-1 . It had t he favorable
recommendation of the Planning Board and the formal unanimous support and
endorsement of the Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committ ee.
If the City cannot get this site re-zoned for low-income housing, I see
little prospect for favorable action on others . The amount of vacant land
in the City currently zoned A-1 is just not adequate (as can be confirmed by
various sponsors and developers) to meet the needs of the low-income housing
program (see attached report). The 802 acres of vacant land indicated as zoned
A-1 was as of January, 1966. All that we have been able to find now from the
Zoning Map dated April 31, 1967 provided the HRC by the Planning Department,
and which is not already committed to the low-income housing prograni~rejected,
or planned for other use is approximately 204 acres. (It is understood however
that some very small tracts, expecially with mixed zoning and not suitable for
the program, are not included on the zoning map).

Memorandum To: Mayor Allen
From: Malcolm Jones

The action of the Zoning Committee yesterday in turning down the re-zoning
of a 51 acre tract off Browntown Rd. (Zoning Petition #Z-67-12)-D) from M-1
and R-5 to A-1 for Turnkey development was very disappointing to those of us
working in promotion of housing for low-income families. More serious however
is the discouragement to owners, sponsors and developers of other tracts under
consideration for inclusion in the low-income housing program for both Turnkey
and 221 d (3) development.

I recommend that you ask the Board of Aldermen to defer action on this
petition, rather than to turn it down, when it comes before them August 21.

The advantage of such action would be to at least delay a turndown, which
would prohibit future consideration of the site for 18 months, and would perhaps
maintain a ray of hope in sponsors and developers for other low-income housing
projects under consideration.

This tract is one of only 5 thus far tentatively approved by HUD for Turnkey,
after 9 months of effort. Of the remaining four, one 15 acre tract requires
re-zoning and besides the owner has not yet agreed; another 20 acre tract is
zoned appropriately but the owner has. not yet agreed to sell for this purpose.
This reduces the approved firm sites to two of 20 acres each (approximately
4,80 units).

The Browntown Rd. site is now zoned predominately M-l1. It had the favorable
recommendation of the Planning Board and the formal unanimous support and
endorsement of the Executive Group of the Housing Resources Committee.

If the City cannot get this site re-zoned for low-income housing, I see
little prospect for favorable action on others. The amount of vacant land
in the City currently zoned A-1 is just not adequate (as can be confirmed by
various sponsors and developers) to meet the needs of the low-income housing
program (see attached report). The 802 acres of vacant land indicated as zoned
A-1 was as of January, 1966. All that we have been able to find now from the
Zoning Map dated April 31, 1967 provided the HRC by the Planning Department,
and which is not already committed to the low-income housing program, rejected,
or planned for other use is approximately 20) acres. (It is understood however
that some very small tracts, expecially with mixed zoning and not suitable for
the program, are not included on the zoning map).

This land is not all available however, as some of it is too expensive;
some owners are not willing to sell for low-income housing; some sites are too
small to be profitable; some, although otherwise suitable, will not meet HUD's
policy because of location in racially identifiable areas; and other reasons.

Therefore-we must depend to a large extent on ability to re-zone qualified
sites to meet the requirements. If that cannot be done (we have already had
several failures), solution of the problem becomes extremely difficult if not
impossible under current practice. We may thus have to resort to other procedures
and techniques. .

ca

Comparison of July 5 Analysis by HRC from Zoning Map and
Appendix to July 21 Memo. from Planning Department

Zoning Map was revised April 31, 1967.

Appendix was compiled as of January 1966.

As can be seen, discrepencies exist in both land lots and acreages
between the Zoning Map Analysis and the Appendix. This may be accounted for
by zoning — and new developments which have taken place since the
compilation shown in the Appendix. However, this reduces the dependency which
can be placed now on the compilation of figures showm in the Appendix.

See Summary at end of the attached Comparative Tabulations for acreazges
already committed; turned down or rejected; and planned for other uses.

Vacant areas zoned A-L (understood to be generally for a specifically
planned development) and A-2) (not generally accepted locally as suitable for
low-cost housing, except for the Elderly) have not been generally included
in this comparison. The vacant land in both categories is relatively small
howevere

CONCLUSION:

In any event, from the attached comparison, it is quite obvious that the
land currently zoned A-1 is both inadequate in quantity and unequitably
distributed throughout the City to meet requirements of the low-income housing

program.

The map used in the Housing Resources Committee analysis was at a

HOUSING RESOURCES COMMITTEE

Memorandum To: Members, Executive Group, Housing Resources Committee
Subject: Report on Vacant Land in Atlanta

The attached report (Encl. 1) has been provided by the Planning Department
upon request of HRC (July 6 Executive Group Meeting) for total acerage zoned
Apartments, Commercial, Industrial and Residential. (Tabulation of vacant acerages
by Land Lot and District which accompanied the report has not been reproduced.)

Totals for each of the above zoning categories have been tabulated in
pencil on first page of the report to facilitate overall comparison.

The report shows the amount of vacant Industrial land to be approximately
3 times the vacant land zoned for mil ti&lt;faini ly and 6 times the vacant land zoned
Commercial, This appears to be excessive in view of current immediate needs of
the City, particularly for low income multi-family development.

The report also indicates that vacant land zoned R1-); is approximately
3 times that zoned R5-9. The latter category only is applicable to low income
families, which apparently constitute the majority of families in Atlanta.

For detailed comparison between the HRC July 5 Analysis of vacant land
zoned for apartments (tabulated from Zoning Map previously provided by the
Planning Department) and the Appendix which accompanied the attached. Planning
