Sandy Springs Extends Moratoriums On Gas Stations, Rezonings

SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Developers who were planning to submit rezoning and special land use petitions in Sandy Springs will have to wait a few more months before they can get those plans to city officials.

That's because the city of Sandy Springs approved extending a 150-day moratorium currently in place on all rezoning and special land use permit applications. The moratorium, which was originally approved in February, will now expire on Sept. 30. The extension was requested by city staff to allow the revised development code to be completed and adopted by the city leaders.

Council members also approved extending an existing moratorium for gas stations and convenience stores until the development code is approved. This moratorium will now run through Sept. 30.

The proposed development code will be reviewed by the Sandy Springs Planning Commission as part of a public hearing on Wednesday, June 21 at City Hall. The City Council will hold a public hearing and consider adopting the code on Aug. 1.

The draft development code can be found online at www.thenext10.org.
