Commissioners hear draft comprehensive plan, table decision to allow review by absent members
Summary
Staff presented a draft comprehensive plan emphasizing community outreach, character areas and a new 'gateway' designation; staff recommended transmitting the draft to regional and state reviewers, but the commission voted to table the resolution for two weeks so absent commissioners can review it.
Planning staff presented the draft Troup County comprehensive plan, describing a large appendix of background materials and community survey results. Staff said the draft highlights rural-character preservation, balanced growth, a new "gateway" character area centered on interstate intersections, and an implementation-focused community work program; the appendix will include the transportation plan and full survey responses.
Staff recommended a first-reading resolution to transmit the draft to the 3 Rivers Regional Development Commission and the Department of Community Affairs for review and noted the county must adopt a plan by Oct. 31. Commissioners said they wanted absent members to have time to review the draft and moved to table the item for two weeks; the motion to table carried. "This is the 1st reading and I will add, of course, we will be going through it still to make sure there's no clerical errors," the planner said.
