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
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
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.
