1. This information is offered solely as a general introduction to process and is not intended to provide instructions or advice on how to proceed. It is up to each applicant to consult the relevant codes, rules and other authorities necessary to their particular application and to retain such experts, attorneys or other consultants as may be necessary.  
2. If you are an applicant, then under most circumstances you are required to present your application to the neighborhood association (in this case, the NBCA Land Use/Zoning Committee) before going to NPU-B.  If you have any questions about this, please contact the chair of the NBCA Land Use/Zoning Committee, Dr. Walda Lavroff
3. This information in no way defines or controls any of the processes mentioned below, nor does it bind the NBCA L/Z Committee, the City of Atlanta or any of its boards, committees or departments.
4. Tracking applications:  If you are a neighbor and you want to track an application, it is up to you to consult the necessary committees, boards and departments and to keep up with and attend all relevant meetings.  Our committee is glad to communicate with you and facilitate as best we can; however, those meetings are often subject to change and it is your responsibility to keep yourself informed and to stay abreast of the process.
5. If you are an applicant, please obtain and bring letters from adjoining and other affected property owners stating their views regarding your application to the meeting.
6. Photographs are always helpful! 
7. Site plans, drawings, surveys and similar documents that show what you are seeking to do are extremely important. Be sure to submit with your application.
8. Cutoff for submissions:  In order to allow our committee time to assess your application, please be sure to submit your complete application to our chair, Dr. Walda Lavroff, no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Tuesday prior to our next scheduled meeting.  Submission by email is encouraged, although not mandatory.
9. Completeness:  Please be sure that the application you submit is complete, and that it includes legible copies of all materials.  Double check to make sure that you have not cut off parts of drawings and site plans in the copying/scanning process.
