The Atlanta City Council Zoning Committee convened on February 10, 2025, under the leadership of Chair Westmoreland. The meeting began with the establishment of a quorum, followed by a motion to adopt the agenda, which was unanimously approved with six votes in favor and none against. The minutes from the previous meeting were also approved without opposition.

The committee then moved on to discuss the 2025 zoning committee goals and objectives. A draft document outlining these goals was presented to the members for review. After a brief period for consideration, a motion to approve the document was made by Council Member Shook and seconded. The motion passed with six votes in favor and none against.

Public comment was next on the agenda, with two individuals signed up to speak. The first speaker, Will Reichert, representing the graduate student body at Georgia Tech, expressed concerns regarding a proposed change in the definition of a household. Currently, the definition allows for up to six unrelated individuals to live together, but the proposed change would reduce that number to three. Reichert highlighted the potential impact on students, particularly in the Home Park neighborhood, where many students live with more than three roommates.

The meeting proceeded with the committee's discussions and considerations, reflecting the ongoing efforts to address zoning regulations and community concerns. The next steps will likely involve further discussions on the proposed changes and their implications for the Atlanta community.
