Snellville tables public hearing on UDO 26‑01 until July 13
Summary
At its June 22 work session, the Snellville City Mayor and Council agreed to table the public hearing on proposed UDO 26‑01 to July 13 to allow additional review of zoning and code edits and to avoid re‑advertising the hearing.
The Snellville City Mayor and Council on June 22 agreed to table the public hearing on Unified Development Ordinance draft UDO 26‑01 and reschedule it for July 13 to give council members more time to review the proposed code changes. Council members and staff said tabling would preserve notices without the administrative burden of re‑advertising.
Council staff explained that the draft ordinance includes a mix of cleanups and policy shifts — from clarifying accessory‑structure rules to creating a permit exemption for prefabricated structures up to 120 square feet — and urged members to read the exact legal text before voting. One staff member said the document is “not easy to read” and recommended members request sections they want to study closely.
The motion to table was raised during the meeting and the body agreed to move the public hearing to July 13. Staff noted that tabling the item now would avoid the need to re‑advertise the hearing and would allow new council members time to review the material.
Why it matters: UDO 26‑01 includes both technical edits and modest policy shifts that change how accessory structures and certain group‑living or behavioral‑health uses are handled in commercial and residential zones. Council members said they wanted to ensure they understood the legal language and policy consequences before the public hearing.
What’s next: The public hearing on UDO 26‑01 is scheduled for July 13; staff encouraged council members to submit questions and request targeted briefings on sections they want clarified before that meeting.
