April 1, 2025 NPU E Meeting notes:

Plan A update from planner Katherine Hernandez:

“Plan A” is the City’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), which required to be updated by City Ordinance. The CDP is a companion to the Zoning Ordinance and guides lawmakers and representatives when making built environment decisions.

Plan A will be introduced as legislation at CDHS in June, and will be presented for 3 hearings, then voted on in August by City Council.

Plan A Draft 3 is available at www.atlantaforall.com.

NPU - BWHCC Board Meeting Agenda Items:

Vote Needed: Requesting approval of BWH 2026’s proposed NPU language for inclusion in the City of Atlanta’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP); pre-read shared in advance.
Ramsay will lead a BWH initiative to document all necessary repairs and replacements of damaged sidewalks, curbs, paved areas, and tree stumps that need to be removed. A request from the Buckhead Council of Neighborhoods for a list of potholes prompted us to consider this broader initiative.
