What is the Beltline Overlay?The Atlanta BeltLine Overlay establishes urban design regulations to anticipate, guide, and manage quality development opportunities within the BeltLine planning area. To the right is a map of which parcels are within the BeltLine Overlay; the parcels within the Howell Mill Road Redevelopment Blueprints are in white while the overlay is represented in green.
How does it impact my property?The overlay does not result in any immediate changes to your property! What it does affect are future uses and future redevelopment by placing certain standards and restrictions to ensure livability through zoning.
