1761 South Ponce De Leon Avenue
The following zoning variance will be presented and voted on at the November meeting of Lake Claire Neighbors, Thursday, November 20, 2025, at the Frazer Center, 1815 S Ponce de Leon Ave NE, or via Zoom.
The property at 1761 South Ponce de Leon Avenue is a 67,607 square foot (1 ½+ acre) atypical parcel of
land that is divided into two separate jurisdictions. The front parcel fronting South Ponce is in the Druid Hills Historic District in Unincorporated DeKalb County and is zoned R-85. It is 28,063 square feet and contains a historically significant 1928 brick Tudor style residence. The rear of the parcel is in the City of Atlanta and is zoned R-4. It is 39,544 square feet and currently contains an existing accessory structure and a storage building. The plan is to retain the accessory structure, demolish the storage building, and replace the storage building with a pool pavilion with a garage underneath.
REQUEST: The property owner respectfully seeks a variance from the zoning ordinance to increase required floor area of the accessory structure from 30% to 36% of the Main structure.
