Every month, NPUs receive useful updates directly from city departments and elected officials. Topics include public safety, city sponsored project initiatives, major city events, and legislative changes.
If you live in or own a business or property within one of our 11 member neighborhoods, you are a member of NPU-E. As a member of NPU-E, our meetings are your meetings.
Join us and develop a stronger connection to your community and city. You might even find yourself inspired to volunteer.
Get to know what we do.
Every month, NPUs are tasked with reviewing proposed legislation, zoning applications, special event permits and liquor licenses to provide vital community feedback. The NPU discusses each application and the NPU-E Board votes in support or opposition. This vote is formally submitted to the City of Atlanta. NPU recommendations are considered by zoning and licensing boards when issuing the permit or license to an applicant.
It is in these moments that we can effect change. We can use our voice to advocate for our member communities.
Get into the review flow.
NPU-E is one of the highest volume NPUs in the City of Atlanta. Due to our sizable agendas each month, we ask applicants to work with the member neighborhood where the business or permit resides in advance of our NPU meeting. This allows each applicant to dig into the details of their zoning request, event or business operation with the local civic association for the best possible result. Collaboration is the name of the game. After working together, the applicant presents to NPU-E and the neighborhood NPU-E Board Member makes their recommendation. NPU-E Board Members can request further discussion and then a vote is taken.
