ABOUT ANSLEY PARK AND APCA
First developed in 1904, Ansley Park was the dream of Edwin P. Ansley who along with several prominent businessmen of the time, purchased a large plot of land north of the city from longtime owner George Washington Collier. Ansley envisioned a new motorcar-oriented suburb of wide winding streets and green parks. | Ansley's vision of a gracious, harmonious neighborhood that would be an oasis in the midst of the bustling city of Atlanta lives on today, in great part thanks to the efforts of the Ansley Park Civic Association (APCA) . Since the 1960's, the Association has been an active force in maintaining the neighborhood's integrity, safety, and sense of community. |
In 2015, Ansley Park reaffirmed its place on the National Register of Historic Places, where it was first listed in 1979.The National Register is an official list of historic buildings and districts worthy of preservation.
It does not place restrictions on private property.

Ansley Park - Neighborhood Conservation Study
Sixty years after Leon Eplan and Ansley Park pioneered the very concept of a neighborhood plan, we once again step up with a renewed community-focused plan for conserving our beloved neighborhood. The Ansley Park Conservation Study has been approved by the APCA Board of Directors and is now making its way through the city approval process with a targeted City Council adoption in September.
An updated neighborhood plan once again serves as a unifying statement on the smart growth aspirations for conserving the best of Ansley Park in an ever-changing midtown Atlanta. Additionally, the Conservation Study will also require ongoing commitment and resources to execute many of the recommendations. So, while our planning work is complete for now, we will need to keep those sleeves rolled up and keep working together to put planning into action. Find your voice in the plan, and plan how you will contribute to its implementation.
Plan A / Atlanta Zoning 2.0
Feeling a bit confused or overwhelmed by the City’s update to the CDP and ATL Zoning 2.0? The APCA has put together some frequently asked questions to help you navigate.
| As an Ansley Park resident, why should I be involved or concerned? Your input can help shape what Ansley Park looks like in the future (e.g. density, use of property, etc.). What is the difference between Plan A and ATL Zoning 2.0? Plan A, Atlanta’s Comprehensive Development Plan, will create policy to guide future development. Zoning 2.0 will create Atlanta’s zoning ordinance, the laws that implement these policies. While the city is eliciting input for both processes in tandem, Plan A will be completed first and will advise Zoning 2.0. |
The Atlanta Botanical Garden has announced plans to expand the garden along Piedmont Avenue, north to the BeltLine. As envisioned, this project would convert the existing retail and commercial area into additional garden and event space with direct access from the BeltLine. The Garden will be required to submit a variety of zoning and variance applications to proceed. The APCA Zoning Committee has been reviewing preliminary materials and will continue to coordinate with other neighborhood groups to fully evaluate the impact of the project, with particular focus on the traffic and parking concerns in Ansley Park. With due diligence ongoing, these applications ultimately will come before Ansley Park and NPUE for approval no earlier than April 2. Additional information will be shared as it becomes available.
