170 Boulevard SE Zoning Regualtions We’re going to go a little deeper into the zoning overlays of the Cabbagetown Site. Because of the specificity of the site and specific project type we are given some different zoning specifications. This allows us some flexibility in construction and plenty of limitiations starting with the beginning being the industrial overlay. This continues with the historical Cabbagetown zoning fact to the beltline overlay and how affordable housing plays into these things.
Heavy Industrial District regulations apply to the site’s first overlay. According to the allowed building types, a little over 60% of building space occupied around he site is not permitted in a Heavy Industrial District. The Afforable Housing and Beltline overlays are what permits these otherwise nonpermissible building types.
Displayed are buildings not permitted in a Heavy Industrial District. These buildings are all programed residential, smaller footprints generally single family while buildings with larger footprints are multifamily. According to the district’s regulations, living spaces are only allowed when the inhabitants are responsible for the management of businesses in the area.
Displayed are buildings permitted in a Heavy Industrial District. While not every building allowed in Heavy Industrial is present around the site, the permitted buildings around consist of eating/drinking establishments, MARTA/public utility, relgious, offices, manufacturing, and warehouses. The building and area displayed in a lighter hue are cemetaries and museums- permissable through a special permit.
Many of the lot requirements are determined by the compatibility rule. They should be compatible in design, proportion, scale, and general character of the block face. This also pertains to sidewalks and pedestrian spaces.

The Compatibility Rule states that if a structure of the same architectural style is higher or wider by more than 10% of that building it will be taken down. This ensures alterations to exsisting and new construction are compatible with the general character of the block face.

The purpose of the affordable workforce housing overlay is to increase the availability of housing choices for individuals and families earning at or below eighty percent (80%) of the area median income or at or below sixty percent (60%) of AMI as calculated and published annually by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for the Atlanta - Sandy Springs - Marietta metropolitan area.
