What must be checked before changing use or adding units near Emory?

DIRECT ANSWER

Original source record: October 5, 2026. Source review: October 17, 2026. Candidate lacked unincorporated-county scope; do not apply county zoning to a City of Atlanta or Decatur parcel. Follow the linked primary sources for current eligibility, availability and terms; no individual or property-specific determination is made.

First confirm the parcel's jurisdiction. For unincorporated DeKalb County, verify base zoning, overlays, and whether rezoning, a variance or a Special Land Use Permit is required before changing use or adding units.
