SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- The Sandy Springs City Council will hold a special called meeting next week to discuss proposed updates to the city’s zoning code and regulations.

The meeting is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 29.

“Zoning is the heart and soul of the city’s planning and land-use process," said Sandy Springs Mayor Rusty Paul. "To meet today’s unique development challenges as well as position us for future growth, we need to modernize our zoning regulations so we are better able to balance growth, development and quality of life."

The meeting is intended to update city leaders on efforts underway to the update zoning regulations as part of the Next Ten planning process. Sandy Springs Planning Commission and Zoning Committee members will be among the audience attendees.

The zoning revisions will become part of the city’s overall Comprehensive Plan update.

A comprehensive plan is set of policies, guidelines and recommendations to steer future development and growth within a city. While the state requires these plans to be updated every ten years, Sandy Springs leaders chose to update the city’s plan ahead of that anniversary.

The meeting will be held in Council Chambers at City Hall, located at 7840 Roswell Road Building 500.
