Where to begin your research
Use the city’s GIS tools to identify the parcel, zoning, land use and Neighborhood Planning Unit. The planning viewer also provides rezoning context. These records help turn a general development headline into a question about a particular site.
What the record means
Before drawing conclusions, separate the current zoning designation from a proposed rezoning. Then check the underlying case documents and permit history. A nearby proposal is not evidence of an approved construction schedule.
Questions to ask about a local headline
Does the address fall within the City of Atlanta? Which parcel and zoning case does the story concern? Is the reported project proposed, approved or under construction?
