ACOG: priority investment zones are planning tools, not ordinance-level regulatory devices, staff says
Summary
County planning staff told commissioners that ACOG representatives said priority investment zones are applied in comprehensive plans and rarely function as regulatory ordinance tools; staff will forward ACOG materials for commissioner review.
Planning staff told the Oconee County Planning Commission that ACOG staff informed them priority investment zones are primarily a comp-plan tool and not typically used to create regulatory ordinances. Hester (S4) summarized feedback from ACOG, saying, "Chip Bentley ... said that, generally, these aren't used for regulatory tools yet. He said they're more associated with future land use maps and discussions and use as a tool to prioritize capital improvement plans."
Hester said ACOG would do additional research and that she would email about 185 pages of background materials to commissioners. Commissioners asked for those materials and requested confirmation about how priority investment zones might or might not interact with ordinance rewrites.
