Fulton County's Board of Commissioners, City of Atlanta City Council, and the Atlanta City Planning Commission oversee zoning decisions across the metro core. ZM (Zoning Modification) petitions are the primary mechanism for changing development rights, particularly for converting underutilized commercial properties to multifamily or mixed-use. The BeltLine trail corridor generates a concentrated cluster of ZM filings on both the Eastside and Westside trails. Westside industrial conversions along Marietta Blvd and the Proctor Creek corridor represent a growing category of rezoning activity. Special land use permit applications are common for adaptive reuse projects.
