PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
Concerned with enhancing the quality of life of the citizens of Buckhead. The Committee is driven by current community issues involving public safety including nuisance properties, bicycle and pedestrians safety, transportation issues (e.g., blocked lanes) and adopts concerns as they become apparent and as time and resources allow. The Committee reviews liquor license applications for NPU-B and special events. When a neighborhood or the NPU Board has an objection to a liquor license application, a representative of the Committee appears before the Liquor License Review Board to voice the objections for the record.
The Public Safety Committee meets at 6:15 p.m. on the first Tuesday of each month prior to the NPU Board meeting.

ZONING COMMITTEE
Hears requests for rezoning, variances, special use permits and Board of Zoning Adjustment (BZA) appeals. The applicant or representative presents the request to the Committee and citizen comment is solicited at this time. The Committee then forwards its recommendation to the NPU Board for a vote. The NPU recommendation regarding variance requests are forwarded to the BZA, a decision making body. The NPU recommendation regarding rezoning applications and special use permits are forwarded to the Zoning Review Board (ZRB), which in turn forwards its recommendations to the City Council Zoning Committee. The Council Zoning Committee recommendation is voted on by the City Council, a decision making legislative body.
The Zoning Committee meets at 7:00 p.m. on the Tuesday one (1) week prior to the NPU Board meeting.

The Committee also assists the board with the review and recommendations on City of Atlanta ordinances, CDP revisions, and zoning amendments.
The Development & Transportation/Special Projects Committee meets at 7 p.m. on the Tuesday one (1) week prior to the NPU Board meeting, often meeting in partnership with the Zoning Committee or other times by special session.
