Subject: Report on Vacant Land in Atlanta
The attached report (Encl. 1) has been provided by the Planning Department
upon request of HRC (July 6 Executive Group Meeting) for total acerage zoned
joartuante, Commercial, Industrial and Residential. (Tabulation of vacant acerages
by Land Lot and District which accompanied the report has not been reproduced.)
Totals for each of the above zoning categories have been tabulated in
pencil on first page of the report to facilitate overall comparison.

3 times the vacant land zoned for mlti-family and 6 times the vacant land zoned’

the City, particularly for low income multi-family development.

3 times that zoned R5-9, The latter category only is applicable to low income
families, which apparently constitute the majority of families in Atlanta.

zoned for apartments (tabulated from Zoning Map previously prevaden by the
Planning Departasent) and the Appendix which accompanied the attached Planning
‘
Department report, see Encl. 2, attached.
