Neighborhood planning unit

The neighborhood planning unit (NPU) is a community-scale governmental structure used in the City of Atlanta, Georgia.

Mayor Jackson had the NPU system placed within the City Charter, which can only be changed by the Georgia Legislature.

Each NPU meets once a month to review applications for rezoning properties, varying existing zoning ordinances for certain properties, applications for liquor licenses, applications for festivals and parades, any changes to fees charged by the City, any changes to the City's Comprehensive Development Plan, and any amendments to the City's Zoning Ordinances.

Planners are charged with recording official votes, responding to questions about issues of Land Use & Zoning, to present the various items that are sent by the City government for NPU review, and to assure that meetings are reasonably orderly and moderately democratic.
