The ordinance also expands the geographic boundaries of the overlay district to include several northwest Atlanta neighborhoods such as Carver Hills, Scotts Crossing, Lincoln Homes, Bolton Hills, Monroe Heights, Brookview Heights, English Park, and a portion of Historic Westin Heights/Bankhead neighborhood. This expansion aims to address the critical need for affordable workforce housing in redeveloping areas and maintain a diverse population by ensuring housing affordability for middle-income residents.
