About this event

Now that there is some cool stuff to see on the construction of the newest phase of PATH400 (Wieuca Road to Loridans Drive ), it’s time for construction tours to get your own first hand sneak peek! Join us as Livable Buckhead’s executive director, Denise Starling, gives you a personal, behind-the-scenes tour of how this multi-purpose greenway is being created.
This is an active construction site, so you are required to wear closed toe shoes (preferably boots), preferably long pants, a hard hat (to be provided), be physically able to do some climbing, and sign a waiver before the tour begins. Space is limited to 20 people.
About PATH400: PATH400 is a 5.2-mile walkable, bikeable greenway being constructed on public land adjacent to GA 400 extending from the bank of Peachtree Creek northward toward the northern edge of Atlanta. It is the centerpiece of a broader greenspace plan, the Buckhead Collection, initiated by Atlanta Councilman Howard Shook. Livable Buckhead is spearheading the PATH400 project in partnership with the Buckhead Community Improvement District (Buckhead CID) and the PATH Foundation. Several other agencies and organizations are involved in the development of PATH400, including Georgia Department of Transportation, the City of Atlanta, MARTA, Atlanta Neighborhood Planning Unit B, and Atlanta Public Schools. PATH400 will increase access to community amenities such as arts, historic, and cultural exhibits; neighborhood pocket parks and greenspaces; retail centers; and learning centers.

ABOUT NPU-B
Neighborhood Planning Units (NPUs) are citizen advisory councils that make recommendations to the Mayor and City Council on zoning, land-use, licensing, and other planning issues.
The NPU system was established in 1974 by Mayor Maynard Jackson to provide an opportunity for citizens to participate actively in the Comprehensive Development Plan, which is the City’s vision for the next 5, 10, and 15 years. It is also used as a way for the citizens to receive information concerning all functions of City government. The system enables the citizens to express ideas and comment on City plans and proposals while assisting the City in developing plans which best meet the needs of different areas.
Membership is open to anyone 18 years or older whose primary residence is within the NPU, as well as to any corporation, organization, institution, or agency which owns property or has a place of business within the NPU.
The NPU has 3 different committees, zoning, development & transportation, and public safety, which make recommendations to the City Council for review.
NPU-B is one of 25 Neighborhood Planning Units established by the city of Atlanta to:

Allow citizen input on community issues involving zoning, development infrastructure, crime, and delivery of city services;
Distribute information and facilitate communication between citizens, their representatives and various city departments;
Make recommendations on Variance Applications to the Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) for final decision;
Make recommendations on Zoning Applications and Special Use Applications to the Zoning Review Board (ZRB) which sends their recommendations to City Council for final decision;
Make recommendations on Subdivision Applications to the Subdivision Review Committee, Office of Planning; and
Make recommendations to the Office of Planning and City Council on Applications that would change the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP).

Atlanta citizens living or working in NPU-B are eligible to serve on the Board of Representatives. Indicate your interest in the viability and stability of our business and neighborhood communities. Contact the Business Coordinator about serving as a Business Representative, or, to serve as a Residential Representative contact your neighborhood civic association in Brookhaven, Buckhead Forest, Buckhead Heights, Chastain Park East, Garden Hills, Lindbergh-Morosgo, North Buckhead, Peachtree Heights East, Peachtree Heights West, Peachtree Hills, Peachtree Park, Ridgedale Park, Pine Hills or South Tuxedo Park.

Development Review Committee: SPI-9
2024-05-01 13:00 - 15:00 | IL
Buckhead Community Improvement District partnered with the City of Atlanta, sister organization BATMA (organization preceding Livable Buckhead), and local resident neighbors through Neighborhood Planning Unit B to develop a new zoning ordinance that covers a significant part of the Buckhead commercial area.
The zoning, adopted by Atlanta City Council on October 4, 2010, sets the stage for a more walkable, urban community enriched with public art and parks, wide sidewalks, greenspace, transportation options, and outdoor dining, all designed to have international appeal.

DRC meetings are open to the public and take place on the first Wednesday of each month via Zoom. The SPI-9 DRC meeting begins at 1:00pm.

Development Review Committee Meeting: SPI-12
2024-05-01 15:00 - 17:00 | IL
Special Public Interest District 12 covers the commercial core of the Buckhead Community surrounding the two malls and the major high rise office developments. This zoning overlay district was one of the first ever written in the City and one of the last to be incorporated into the underlying zoning. In 2011, the Buckhead Community Improvement District and sister organization, BATMA (organization preceding Livable Buckhead), began updating this district to incorporate public art, transportation options, connectivity and greenspace among other changes, with all changes having been completed in Summer of 2012.

DRC meetings are open to the public and take place on the first Wednesday of each month via Zoom. The SPI-12 DRC meeting begins at 3:00pm.
