Atlanta Adopts Zoning To Encourage New Urbanism
24 May 2002 - 7:00am
Atlanta has adoped a new "live-work" zoning guideline to encourage mixed use development.
"The "live-work" zoning class will allow small-business owners to work at home by putting a shop or office on the ground floor and their living quarters upstairs. Mixed-use zoning will reverse old policies that had discouraged developers from building homes, stores and offices in a single complex. The new multifamily zoning class will allow for high-rises with neighborhood businesses, such as coffeehouses, barbers, florists or laundries, on the ground floor."

Under the proposal, the government would assign the populace the task of counting and mapping dog droppings as a first step to greater penalties for owners who fail to clean up after their mutts.
