Adopted in 2005, the Atlanta BeltLine Redevelopment Plan and creation of the BeltLine Tax Allocation District (BeltLine TAD) was deemed necessary to “assure that the City of Atlanta maintains its historical position as the commercial center of the region and provides an alternative to the continued sprawling patterns of development in the region.” The BeltLine TAD will continue through 2030, and will help improve economic and social conditions in the Atlanta BeltLine corridor, benefit underutilized and economically and socially depressed urban areas, and promote development and transit opportunities in the corridor.

The Atlanta BeltLine is one of those rare projects that has the extraordinary potential to transform the City of Atlanta. By creating and enhancing greenspace, trails, transit, and new development along 22 miles of historic rail segments, this revived industrial landscape can become the solution to our scattered pattern of growth, and the framework for a truly sustainable Atlanta.

The Atlanta BeltLine Tax Allocation District Advisory Committee (TADAC) was approved by the Atlanta City Council in 2004. A subsequent vote in 2006 established the framework for the TADAC, and in 2007, TADAC Bylaws were adopted to establish the structure, purpose, and requirements for the organization.

The third quarterly briefing provided program updates and a special presentation celebrating Art of the Atlanta BeltLine, year five.  It was followed by an open house session to allow for attendees to learn more about transit, parks, trails, affordable housing, economic development, public art and brownfield remediation.

Anderson Center for Sustainable Business’s website and wanted to share his thoughts on empowering existing homeowners along the BeltLine with tools, knowledge, and assistance.

The Atlanta City Council voted in 2004 to create the Atlanta BeltLine Tax Allocation District (TAD) to help fund the Atlanta BeltLine. The substitute legislation in 2006 outlines the requirements for TADAC membership and representation, and establishes the rules for structure, governance, reporting, and auditing.

Citywide Conversation: Atlanta BeltLine East & Crosstown Connections Transit Route Options and MARTA Connectivity Formal Environmental Assessment Presentation-August 21, 2014

The Community Benefits Agreement (CBA) Guiding Principles are a broad set of rules developed to encourage, influence, and support the provision of community benefits. They were developed with input from the study group community and refined by a community-led working group, our TAD Advisory Committee, and a developer focus group. The CBA ensures that development on the Atlanta BeltLine is equitable and benefits all members of the community, contributes to a stronger local economy, and promotes increased public participation in the planning process. Adopted by ABI’s Board of Directors on September 8, 2010.

Successfully creating a vibrant sense of place requires that the newly created environment positively benefits the people living there, including both existing and new residents. The BeltLine Equitable Development Plan seeks to ensure geographic balance through equitable investment in all communities along the corridor, preserve single family neighborhoods, as well as cultural and historic qualities, minimize involuntary economic displacement through tax policies and affordble housing initiatives, and create long-term employment and small business opportunities.

The regulations address site limitations, streetscapes, relationship of building to street, loading areas, lighting, fencings, vehicular and bike parking, etc.

The original comprehensive plan for the development of 2,544 written by Alex Garvin & Associates in conjunction with the Trust for Public Land and guided by the BeltLine Greenspace Steering Committee.

In 2004, Alex Garvin published “The BeltLine Emerald Necklace: Atlanta’s New Public Realm” outlining a public realm framework around which 21st Century Atlanta will grow and prosper.

Ryan Gravel’s joint master’s thesis in Architecture and City Planning from Georgia Tech in 1999 was the original vision for the ambitious Atlanta BeltLine.

The West Connection natural neighborhood is situated near numerous colleges, universities and schools—Clark Atlanta University, Morehouse, Morris Brown, Spellman and Washington High School—that make this area special to Atlanta. It is a core center of connection for Atlanta’s citizens to the important teaching and research efforts of these institutions. Neighborhoods in the West Connection area include Hunter Hills, Washington Park, Mozley Park, Westview, West End, Ashview Heights and Harris Chiles.

The Water Works natural neighborhood includes the areas of Underwood Hills, Loring Heights, Home Park and Bland Town. Trees in this natural neighborhood feature plants of exotic shapes and textures that revolve around the theme of “water play.” Many of the plant names suggest a whimsical association with water: Water Oak, Umbrella Magnolia, Golden Raintree, Corkscrew Willow, Devils Walking Stick and Monkey Puzzle Tree.

The Warehouse Row natural neighborhood is a narrow right-of-way segment between rows of warehouses and the stretch of trail that follows the road. Neighborhoods in the Warehouse Row area include Westview, Cascade Road, Oakland City and West End. Trees in this neighborhood will have high visual impact that can be appreciated while traveling faster than walking speed. This landscape of motion also features ancient and primitive trees that have existed for a long time.

The Urban Forest Corridor natural neighborhood is a celebration of the role that urban trees play in revitalizing neighborhoods and is the home of the Trees Atlanta Kendeda Center. The Urban Forest Corridor highlights urban street trees, the BeltLine Arboretum Nursery and the importance of selecting the “right tree for the right place.” Neighborhoods in this area include Ormewood Park, Grant Park, Glenwood Park, Cabbagetown and Reynoldstown.

The Quarry natural neighborhood includes the Bellwood Quarry, a large granite surface mine, which is the largest proposed addition to the City of Atlanta’s park system. Currently, it is not open to the public and visitors will be considered as trespassing. Plant collections in this natural neighborhood represent the rock outcrop communities of Georgia, particularly species endemic to the southeast piedmont that are found nowhere else in the world. Neighborhoods in this area include Rockdale, Knight Park, Grove Park, Bankhead and English Avenue.

Railroads created Atlanta and have transformed the city and its landscape. In an effort to interpret our history, trees in this natural neighborhood represent species used for railroad materials, wood products and wood manufacturing. The Gap natural neighborhood includes Bland Town and Knight Park and is home to the King Plow Center.

The Southern Way natural neighborhood includes many historic resources and includes important Atlanta neighborhoods like Peopletown, Summerhill, Grant Park, Englewood Manor, Chosewood, South Atlanta, Carver Homes, High Point and Joyland. The BeltLine Arboretum in this area focuses on the plants of the Piedmont Uplands which highlight the importance of our own special piedmont region in Georgia.

The Piedmont Park natural neighborhood is not only rich with history, but a haven for birds and wildlife. Neighborhoods in this area include Ansley Park, Midtown, Virginia Highland and Morningside/Lenox Park. Trees in this area will complement and be a tribute to the Olmsted brothers’ tradition and design style. You will find beautiful specimens, evergreens, and large stately trees with a powerful presence that create a sense of place.

Perhaps the most historically significant area in Atlanta, the New South natural neighborhood is home of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical District and Center, the Carter Center, Freedom Parkway, and City Hall East. It includes the neighborhoods of Midtown, Morningside/Lenox Park, St. Charles Greenwood, Poncey Highlands, Bedford Pine, Old Fourth Ward, and Inman Park. Trees planted in the New South will reflect a variety of species, both native and exotic, that are symbolic of the South.

The Murphy’s Crossing natural neighborhood plantings build on Atlanta’s regional identity and agriculture heritage. The tree collections are focused on the redevelopment of the farmer’s market heritage site and existing buildings and include representations of orchards, field edges, windbreaks and plantations. Neighborhoods in the Murphy’s Crossing area include Capitol Hill, Capitol View Manor and Adair Park. Because it sits on the Subcontinental Divide, depending on your exact location in Murphy’s Crossing, the water will either flow to the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean.

The Hulsey Yard natural neighborhood is located on the Subcontinental Divide and includes the neighborhoods of Cabbagetown, Reynoldstown, Edgewood and Inman Park. Because it sits on the Subcontinental Divide, depending on your exact location in Hulsey Yard, the water will either flow to the Gulf of Mexico or the Atlantic Ocean. Due to the long history of development and industry on these areas, their landscapes feature tree species that remove soil toxins and add important nitrogen to the soil.

The Entrenchment Creek natural neighborhood is defined by the two upstream headwaters of Entrenchment Creek, which eventually flows southeast to the Atlantic coastal plain. Neighborhoods in this area include Grant Park, Ormewood Park and Boulevard Heights. Trees in this neighborhood are typical of coastal plain plant communities found in South Georgia, including evergreens, coastal swamp trees and coastal oaks.

The Confluence natural neighborhood is a haven for wildlife and birds. The area is situated along the forested creek margins of Tanyard, Peachtree and Clear Creeks. Neighborhoods in this area include Collier Hills, Collier Hills North, Channing Valley, Spring Lake, Ardmore Park, Haynes Manor, Peachtree Hills, Garden Hills, Lindbergh and Brookwood Hills. Trees in this neighborhood highlight the importance of wetland, floodplain, and stream edge/riparian species for water quality, flood protection and wildlife habitat.

The Clear Creek is a refuge for birds and wildlife. Trees in this natural neighborhood demonstrate the role and importance of plants in managing rainwater in an urban environment. Neighborhoods in this area include Sherwood Forest, Ansley Park and Piedmont Heights. Habitat rich in water gardens and critically-needed restoration work will improve the quality of the Clear Creek-Peachtree Creek-Chattahoochee watershed. Protecting the watershed provides clean water for both people and wildlife.
