Help us stop high-density cluster homes rezoning in North Buckhead!
In December 2020 the same developer building the high-density cluster homes on Lakemoore Drive, applied to the City of Atlanta for rezoning to build a similar, high-density development at#1 Emma Lane, adjacent to the entrance of the Blue Heron Nature Preserve, a cherished community resource.

Why Oppose This Rezoning?
- This high-density, 10-home project on only 2.7 acres would be completely out of character with existing homes in our single-family neighborhood.
- If successful, this rezoning, from R3 to PD-H, sets a dangerous precedent that could impact every street in every part of North Buckhead. It would open the door to more high-density projects throughout our community.
How You Can Help Preserve Our Neighborhood?
Your voice is vital during the review of this rezoning application in the days and weeks ahead. There are several opportunities to engage with decision makers:
- Contact your 7th District City Councilman Howard Shook at 404-330-6050 or hshook@atlantaga.gov to let him know you oppose this rezoning application.
- Engage with Neighborhood decision makers in the review process ahead
- Participate in North Buckhead Civic Association (NBCA) meetings that will consider this rezoning. Because of COVID-19, all meetings are virtual. You can join by Zoom or by phone.
