  • Atlantic Station Redevelopment Plan
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Atlanta proposes the creation of the Atlantic Steel Brownfield Redevelopment Plan and Tax Allocation District (ASBTAD) for the following reasons: 1. Make possible the redevelopment of over 138 acres of under-utilized real estate which, has been contaminated due to almost a century of heavy industrial use. 2. Make maximum use of alternative transportation modes to minimize congestion and improve air quality. 3. Lay framework for a more pedestrian friendly City into the next century. 4. Provide mixed-income housing for wide range on income levels. 5. Create large number of jobs with wide range of skill levels. 6. Create a 24-hour environment where one can live, work, and play. 7. Encourage additional development on the perimeter of the redevelopment area. 8. Provide the basis for enhanced property and sales tax revenues for the City, County, School System, and State. 9. Create a financing tool for transportation and other infrastructure to improve and connect major activity centers to each other and the existing MARTA heavy rail network. Overview of Tax Allocation Districts: Tax Allocation Districts (TAD) are authorized in Georgia under the Redevelopment Powers Act, Chapter 44, Title 36. A Tax Allocation District, typically referred to as Tax Increment Financing, is a tool used to publicly finance redevelopment activities in underdeveloped or blighted areas. A tax allocation district derives its funding from the increase in the redevelopment area’s ad valorem and/or sales taxes levied by the city, county, and school system. These revenues are placed in a special redevelopment fund for the area and are used to directly pay for the redevelopment costs or to issue bonds to pay for redevelopment costs.

  • Morphology Analysis: Northside Drive
    Morphology Analysis: Northside Drive Laura Richter School of City & Regional Planning College of Architecture Georgia Institute of Technology Spring 2013 Advisor: Richard Dagenhart Table of Contents 1 Abstract 2 Where is it? 7 What is it? 30 How did it get this way? 39 What are the problems? 43 What are the proposals? 49 How do we fix this? 57 Bibliography Abstract Northside Drive is a major arterial street in the City of Atlanta. This street is an expansive and underutilized corridor that connects North Atlanta to its downtown core. This proposal intends to analyze this arterial in terms of its morphologies, through the exploration of the static, elastic, campus and resilient tissues present. This will be done through mapping, diagramming, examining current proposals for the arterial, and empirical analysis of the corridor. This data will aid in answering several questions pertaining to the characteristics of the study area, shaping the structure of this paper. These questions will form layers of analysis that reveal the nature of Northside Drive’s morphological relationships. First, one needs to understand where is Northside Drive? This component is explained by understanding the street’s regional connectivity and scale relative to the city. The next task is to define what it is? This is supported by understanding the implications of its current morphologies and form. Third, one needs to investigate how did it get this way? What were the major events that shaped this space? This story is told through the production of a written and visual timeline illustrating the major moves that created the current Northside Drive.
