On Thursday, December 15, Snellville City Council took a significant step forward in its 14 month effort to overhaul and update the city’s development regulations, unanimously approving two new zoning districts designed to foster future Towne Center development efforts long envisioned by the community.
“Our action tonight will help turn the Towne Center vision into a reality,” said Mayor Tom Witts. “But there’s still much work to be done with our big picture zoning overhaul. We’ll be continuing that in the new year, and I encourage everyone to stay involved.”
We’re cleaning up the inconsistencies in Snellville’s existing regulations, simplifying content, increasing flexibility, and encouraging the kind of redevelopment — like our Towne Center plan — envisioned by the community, all in one unified, user-friendly ordinance. Here’s the rundown on everything you need to know.
