Home Park Special Public Interest (SPI-8) zoning: Off Street Parking Regulations
The City of Atlanta has put into place an SPI zoning overlay in Home Park to preserve and protect the Home Park neighborhood from overcrowding of streets with excessive vehicles. Due to the narrowness of streets within the Home Park neighborhood, the fact that many streets are one-way, and that emergency vehicles have had challenges reaching those who have needed their help, SPI-8 was created to regulate parking in Home Park. It reads as follows from the City of Atlanta Code of Ordinances:

The regulations set forth in this chapter, or set forth elsewhere in this part, when referred to in this chapter, are the regulations in the SPI-8 Home Park District.
