Councilmember Howard Shook introduced an ordinance (Item 25) to create a Northeast Atlanta "quality of life regulation overlay district" intended to limit certain uses and amend the official zoning map. Staff recommended approval; both the relevant NPU and the Zoning Review Board recommended denial.
Shook moved approval and Councilmember Dustin Hillis seconded. The committee voted; the clerk's recorded tally in the transcript reads "3 ayes, 1 aye, 3 abstentions," and Chair Matt Westmoreland announced "Motion carries." The transcript contains an internally inconsistent vote tally and does not provide a clear, standard roll-call in the record of the excerpt.
The ordinance language would create an overlay to limit certain uses in the northeast portion of the city and amend the zoning map upon adoption. The committee approved the motion; the transcript does not record additional amendments or conditions or specify the precise parcels affected beyond the summary language read on the floor.
