Snellville launches website for development code effort
Earlier this year, Snellville’s city council moved to update the city’s development code.
Now, to make those efforts easily accessible, the city has launched a dedicated project website: www.snellvilledevelopmentcode.org.
“The idea, is a one-stop shop for residents to get up to speed and participate,” Mayor Tom Witts said. “The development code effort will help determine the character of our city for years to come. It needs to be community owned.”
The site offers a project overview in the form of frequently asked questions, schedule of announced meetings, ongoing news posts and opportunities for residents to respond to questions or send comments directly to the project team.
Known as the city’s “Development Code Renovation,” the currently unfolding Unified Development Ordinance effort is expected to clean up inconsistencies in Snellville’s existing regulations, simplify content, increase flexibility, and encourage the kind of redevelopment, like the Towne Center plan, envisioned by the community, all in one unified, user-friendly ordinance.
