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
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.

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
2025-03-05 15:00 - 17:00, 2025-04-02 15:00 - 17:00, 2025-05-07 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.

buckheadRUN! 5K - Run Wild!
2025-05-03 08:00 - 10:00 | Lenox Square, 3393 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, GA, 30326
BuckheadRUN! 2025 – The Only 5K Where You Can Pet a Llama
Saturday May 3rd 8:00 am to 10:00 am
🐘 Run. Roar. Revel in Ridiculousness. 🦒🐊

This year, BuckheadRUN! isn’t just about running—it’s about making Buckhead a little wilder (without any actual wildlife escaping onto Peachtree Road). On Saturday, May 3rd, 2025, we’re hitting the streets to celebrate our future sculpted petting zoo along the new PATH400 extension. That’s right — later this year we’re bringing a life-sized elephant, a towering giraffe, and a not-so-menacing crocodile to the heart of the city. They won’t move, bite, or require snacks, but they will make Buckhead the coolest place to take a selfie.
Because we believe fun should be furry, feathery, or fantastically weird, we’re encouraging runners of all ages and abilities to dress as their favorite animals. Whether you gallop like a gazelle, waddle like a penguin, or just wear cat ears and call it a day, you’ll fit right in!
🐾 What’s New This Year?

Costume Contest: The wilder, the better. Who wouldn’t want to see a human-sized giraffe outrun a cheetah in sneakers?
Fastest Fido Category: Because your dog deserves to chase glory (and possibly a squirrel).
Paw-some Giveaways: All runners receive and t-shirt and swag bag
Post-Race Fun: Stick around for the LLamas….seriously, we will have real Llamas, who doesn’t love Llamas. There will be lots of fun for the whole family.

By participating in BuckheadRUN! 2025, you’re helping to support Livable Buckhead’s mini safari—minus the plane ticket to Africa. So lace up, grab your fur babies, and let’s run for the (very still, very sculpted) animals!
