ZONING regulations in Atlanta are being rewritten as we speak. How many gas stations are in your neighborhood? Are tiny houses permissible in your backyard? What's going to be built on the vacant lot on your block? Zoning regulations determine ALL of that and more. This past Monday the City of Atlanta presented the first look at the zoning changes scheduled for implementation Jan. 2025. Yes, you heard that right - in 6 months the changes will start rolling out. Key Take Aways: - Major changes to gas station development and where they're allowed to operate - Major changes to self-storage facilities. As currently proposed, they now must be part of a mixed use development where the commercial and residential square footage must equal the amount allocated for storage - Major changes for how guest houses, accessory dwelling units and tiny homes are defined and regulated This is just a sampling of the changes that will shape how the city transforms over the next 50 years. As a real estate development firm the Aspire Construction & Design team was in the room to be a part of the conversation, claim a seat at the table and to be sure that the voice of the small scale developer is heard. The next session for a review and feedback session on the changes will be July 9. More details at www.atlzoning.com.

This new community-oriented residential development provides a commuter-friendly and amenity-rich living experience that will directly impact not only the residents, but the broader Sacramento metro area. Planned for completion in 2026, Natomas Fountains provides six residential buildings, a community pool and spa, dog run, and community garden within a safe and pedestrian-friendly site located a short drive to Downtown. The various stormwater treatment systems were strategically designed to maximize available land use for development purposes. Peter Bernard, senior engineering manager, explained “We worked closely with the City of Sacramento, troubleshooting their spreadsheets when they were implementing new calculations methods for sizing stormwater treatment systems. Together, we worked out the tools that all development projects will use in the future.” Peter loves the challenge of laying out a plan for multi-family residential buildings. He said “Multi-family projects each have unique challenges of pedestrian circulation, parking, ADA accessibility, and utility layouts. I love the challenge of putting the pieces of the puzzle together to create a community where residents can thrive.” Early planning efforts for this project helped resolve the site’s unique challenges and collaboration kept the project moving forward.

The EIGHTEENTH post in my "32 days of Case Studies in Retrofitting Suburbia" project. Case Study II.18: Historic Fourth Ward Park, Atlanta, GA, USA Can the #regreening of 17 acres of parking lots into a stormwater park trigger award-winning lot #redevelopment, building #reinhabitation, and trail building on a grand scale? That's the case that can be made by Atlanta's decision to address its combined sewer overflow (CSO) problem with a $23 million stormwater park instead of a $40 million underground tunnel. Historic Fourth Ward Park attracted the first major investment to support the Atlanta #BeltLine. By solving the site's recurring flooding problems, the park enabled the renovation of a large vacant Sears distribution warehouse into Ponce City Market, a highly successful mixed-use complex with a popular food hall. For some, however, Fourth Ward Park is seen as an example of "eco-gentrification." Is the lesson learned that we shouldn't invest in great design that integrates stormwater solutions into beautiful parks? Hardly. But we recommend that municipalities planning similar green infrastructure upgrades should anticipate the potential for displacement and get ahead of it. Team: Markham Smith Architects, HDR, Trust for Public Land, Wood Partners. Image: Before-and-after diagrams looking northeast show the former parking lots regreened into Historic Fourth Ward Park adjacent to the BeltLine trail.

Real Estate Broker and former investment banker, FINRA Series 7,63 and 24, specializing in off market properties to include the acquisition of self-storage facilities and self-storage investments.
The Importance of Knowing the Zoning Regulations When Planning to Develop a Self-Storage Site. Be prepared to ask the following questions: What municipality has zoning authority over the site? What departments have authority over zoning? What is the proper zoning for self-storage? If a zone change or variance is needed what is the process? After the correct zoning is known, you will need to understand the requirements that will affect the layout and design of the facility. This information will be very useful when drawing up your preliminary site plan. What are the required building setbacks? What is the maximum building coverage ratio? What are the parking requirements? Is green space required? Are there any requirements for driveways such as widths or the material used? Are there any construction restrictions that dictate the appearance of the property? This initial meeting should provide you with an understanding of the likelihood of being able to develop a self-storage facility on the site. Storage Point Capital is a rapidly expanding self-storage acquisition and development company. Follow us at Storagepointcapital.com to learn more about how you can actively or passively be a part of the best-in-class commercial real estate asset. Have a self-storage facility to sell or land for self-storage development? Let's talk. Call, text, or email me today!

Sometimes it can be difficult to develop a site or even modify an existing property because the zoning changed over time and a formerly acceptable condition is no longer. How do you navigate that? Definitely ask a pro. We can advise on the viability and implications, but you should understand the process to demystify what is actually a beneficial tool for property owners to understand.
