The mayor ordered the department to refuse applications for rezoning, building permits, land disturbances, special administrative permits, subdivisions, replatting or lot consolidations for the 15-parcel campus.
The mayor said the city should have adequate time to conduct a planning review for the property and said there was an “urgent need . . . substantially related to the public health, safety and welfare” for an executive order blocking developments until then.
Previous city planning efforts “have designated the Atlanta Medical Center as a piece of essential infrastructure for the community, and further contemplated that the medical center would continue to be a staple in the community providing both health care and jobs,” according to the order.
The mayor previously expressed concerns about the medical center’s closure in a Sept. 9 letter to the health system’s CEO.
