NPU-F approves Virginia-Highland rezoning
Residents want to stave off too-tall buildings in the already bustling neighborhood.
After two hours of contention and confusion, Atlanta’s Neighborhood Planning Unit F voted last night to approve a rezoning designation that proponents say would preserve Virginia-Highland’s charm.
Scrunched in a jampacked meeting room in a psychiatric hospital off Monroe Drive, nearly 200 residents ultimately stamped the organization’s seal of approval on a two-year effort meant to preserve the neighborhood before developers capitalize on its antiquated zoning codes.
