Atlanta, GA zoning districts
47 districts, 47 with a written citation. Each row says what the district permits by primary use.
City of Atlanta Code of Ordinances, Part III (Land Development Code), Part 16 (Zoning). Atlanta is a listed-use (Euclidean) model: each district is a numbered chapter (Ch. 16-03 R-1 through Ch. 16-17 I-2, plus the Quality-of-Life chapters 16-33 LW, 16-34 MRC, 16-35 MR and 16-16A I-MIX) with its own '.003 Permitted principal uses and structures' section; a use absent from a district's permitted-principal list is prohibited there as a principal use, and a '.005 Special permits' section supplies the discretionary (conditional) pathway. Base ZONECLASS codes were validated 2026-07-13 against the live City zoning layer (field ZONECLASS; gis.atlantaga.gov DPCD LandUsePlanning/LandUsePlanning MapServer layer 0 'Zoning District'; 245 distinct values). Cited-evidence only (June 12 ruling): districts whose principal-use classification cannot be grounded in a retrievable Part 16 source resolve honest-null (permissions null, low confidence, bespoke-district-review-required), never guessed. Atlanta's Special Public Interest (SPI) districts, Historic (HC-20x) districts, area-specific Neighborhood Commercial (NC-#) districts, Planned Development (PD-*) districts and named Landmark Development (LD) districts are subarea/plan/parcel-specific and are honest-null by design, and that is CORRECT. NO GEORGIA STATE-LAW PREEMPTION LAYER IS AUTHORED: Atlanta receives NO state modifications (P21); there is no verified state-laws/ga.json, so no other state's statutes are applied here.
How to read the permissions
By right — allowed without discretionary approval. Conditional use — allowed only with a specific approval. Not permitted — not allowed as a primary use. Not resolved — the ordinance does not settle it in a way we would state as fact.
These describe the district. A specific parcel can also be affected by overlays, corridors, flood zones and site conditions.
| District | Residential | Commercial | Industrial |
|---|---|---|---|

C-1
Community Business District (C-1)
commercial mixed
|
By right | By right | Not permitted |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-11, Sec. 16-11.003 (C-1 Permitted principal uses): multi-family, two-family and single-family dwellings by-right; extensive retail/office/service commercial by-right within enclosed buildings; wholesaling/jobbing and industrial explicitly not permitted -> industrial prohibited (source Z; intent Sec. 16-11.002 'medium-intensity retail and service ... residential either as single or mixed use'). Hotels/motels are special-permit. Category commercial-mixed; nuisance medium. | |||
|
C-2
Commercial Service District (C-2)
commercial mixed
|
By right | By right | Not permitted |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-12, Sec. 16-12.003 (C-2 Permitted principal uses): multi-family, two-family, single-family dwellings by-right (16-12.003(18)); retail/offices/clinics/eating-drinking/banks/repair/service by-right; no industrial/manufacturing/warehousing principal use -> prohibited (source Z). Sales-service-repair commercial district. Category commercial-mixed; nuisance medium. | |||

C-3
Commercial-Residential District (C-3)
commercial mixed
|
By right | By right | Not permitted |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-13, Sec. 16-13.003 (C-3 Permitted principal uses): multi-family/two-family/single-family dwellings by-right (16-13.003(18)); retail (29), offices/clinics (22), eating-drinking (9), banks (1) by-right; no industrial principal use -> prohibited (source Z; intent 16-13.002 'moderate- to high-intensity uses in mixed use type development'). Category commercial-mixed; nuisance medium. | |||
|
C-4
Central Area District (C-4)
commercial core
|
By right | By right | Not permitted |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-14, Sec. 16-14.003 (C-4 Permitted principal uses): multi-family dwellings by-right (18); offices/clinics/studios (21), retail (28), banks (1), hotels/motels (14) by-right; no manufacturing/industrial principal use -> prohibited (service uses like printing/repair are commercial, not manufacturing) (source Z). Downtown/midtown high-intensity mixed core -> category commercial-core; nuisance medium (no by-right industrial). | |||
|
C-5
Central Business Support District (C-5)
commercial core
|
By right | By right | By right |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-15, Sec. 16-15.003 (C-5 Permitted principal uses): multi-family dwellings (21) and single-room-occupancy (36) by-right; retail (30), offices/labs/studios (24), eating-drinking (10) by-right; AND light manufacturing by-right (18) 'where character of operations, emissions and by-products do not create adverse effects beyond the boundaries of the property ... heavy drop hammers, punch presses ... prohibited' (source Z). Residential + commercial + no-adverse-effect light manufacturing all by-right -> category commercial-core. Industrial is by-right but commerce-scale (no-adverse-effect) -> nuisance_override:true capping at medium-intensity (P7 — the Austin CBD / Dallas CA precedent: a downtown mixed core is not priced as heavy-industrial). | |||
|
FCR-3
Fort McPherson Community Redevelopment District (FCR-3)
special
Lower confidence — verify against the ordinance before relying on it.
|
Not resolved | Not resolved | Not resolved |
| Live City zoning layer (ZONECLASS='FCR-3') — a Fort McPherson-area community redevelopment district governed by its own area-specific redevelopment regulations/plan, not a flat citywide use list (source: live GIS; per-district Part 16/redevelopment-plan text not retrieved this session). Category special, honest-null BY POLICY (P11): permissions null, low confidence, route to review. Exact key. | |||
|
HC
Historic District (HC-20x, subarea-specific)
special
Lower confidence — verify against the ordinance before relying on it.
|
Not resolved | Not resolved | Not resolved |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-20 Historic Districts (HC-20A .. HC-20N, with subareas 'HC-20A SA1' etc.). Each HC-20x historic district carries its own design + use regulations keyed to a specific historic area and subarea (source Z + live GIS ZONEDESC). Category special, honest-null BY POLICY (P11): permissions null, low confidence, route to review. Family-catch key 'HC' folds every 'HC-20x[ SA#][-C]' variant here. | |||
|
I-1
Light Industrial District (I-1)
industrial light
|
Not permitted | By right | By right |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-16, Sec. 16-16.003 (I-1 Permitted principal uses): light manufacturing/wholesaling/processing by-right (8) 'where character of operations, emissions and by-products do not create adverse effects beyond the boundaries of the property'; offices (9), business services (4), professional services (11) by-right; retail/eating-drinking only via 50+ year-old building conversions (7,14); dwellings only via 50+ year conversions (23), NOT a general principal-use right -> residential prohibited (source Z). Category industrial-light; nuisance high-intensity, NO override (genuine light-industrial district with no residential by-right — Dallas 'LI' / San Antonio 'L' precedent). | |||
|
I-2
Heavy Industrial District (I-2)
industrial heavy
|
Not permitted | By right | By right |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-17, Sec. 16-17.003 (I-2 Permitted principal uses): manufacturing/wholesaling/processing by-right (9), warehousing/distribution/enclosed junk-processing/contractor storage by-right; retail (15), banks (2), eating-drinking (7), service stations (17), hotels (23) by-right; dwellings permitted ONLY as accessory (watchmen/caretakers, 16-17.004(2)) -> residential prohibited as principal (source Z). Category industrial-heavy; nuisance high-intensity. | |||
|
I-MIX
Industrial-Mix District (I-MIX)
industrial light
|
By right | By right | By right |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-16A, Sec. 16-16A.004 (I-MIX Permitted principal uses): single-/two-/multi-family dwellings + supportive housing by-right (4); commercial (eating-drinking, hotels, retail <=30,000 sf, offices) by-right (3); light manufacturing by-right (2) 'no adverse effects beyond the boundaries of the facility ... heavy drop hammers/punch presses prohibited'; sites >=1 acre must dedicate >=30% floor area to industrial (1) (source Z). A deliberately mixed residential+commercial+light-industrial district. Category industrial-light (its defining >=30% industrial requirement) — see OPEN-QUESTION 5. Industrial by-right BUT residential is ALSO by-right and manufacturing is capped at no-adverse-effect -> nuisance_override:true -> medium-intensity: pricing an I-MIX parcel as high-intensity heavy-industry would be wrong for a district that permits housing by right (P7 rationale extended to a light-industrial+residential district). Medium confidence (novel override + category call). | |||

NC
Neighborhood Commercial District (area-specific, NC-#)
commercial neighborhood
Lower confidence — verify against the ordinance before relying on it.

Not resolved | Not resolved | Not resolved |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-32 Neighborhood Commercial. Atlanta's numbered NC districts (NC-1 .. NC-16, several with subareas 'NC-10 SA1' etc.) are each adopted by a SEPARATE area-specific chapter/ordinance with a tailored permitted-use list keyed to a specific neighborhood plan (source Z + live GIS ZONEDESC nodeIds differ per NC). Per-district principal uses are NOT retrievable in one pass -> honest-null BY POLICY (P9/P10): category commercial-neighborhood provisional (from the district TYPE), permissions null, low confidence, route to review. Family-catch key 'NC' (P12/hyphen-prefix fold) resolves every NC-# and NC-# SA# variant to this honest provisional answer. | |||

A PD's permitted uses are set by its site-specific approved development plan/ordinance, not the district code (source Z + live GIS). Category special, honest-null BY POLICY (P11): permissions null, low confidence, route to review. Family-catch key 'PD' folds every PD-* variant here. Per-PD ordinance ingestion is a separate future product, not part of table authoring. | |||

Poncey
Poncey-Highland Historic District (subarea-specific)
special
Lower confidence — verify against the ordinance before relying on it.

Not resolved | Not resolved | Not resolved |
| Atlanta Code Part 16, Ch. 16-18 et seq. Special Public Interest districts (SPI-1 Downtown, SPI-2, ... SPI-26; incl. BeltLine and station-area SPIs), each a form-based, SUBAREA-specific district (live ZONECLASS carries 'SPI-N SA#', ~130 distinct combinations) whose permitted uses derive from a per-SPI, per-subarea regulating chapter, not a flat district use list (source Z + live GIS ZONEDESC).
