Comprehensive plan moves toward adoption after state review; public comments focus on data centers
Summary
Staff told council the draft comp plan was submitted to the Atlanta Regional Commission and Georgia DCA and published online; DCA offered advisory comments and the ARC comment period closed with many public submissions—19 of 20 web comments mentioned opposition to data centers.
Community Development Director Mike Morton told council the comprehensive plan draft is online and has been sent to the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for review. DCA provided advisory comments staff described as simple to incorporate; ARC’s public-comment period closed the day before the meeting.
Morton reported the consultant team received 20 website comments, 19 of which referenced data centers and expressed opposition. Staff said planning commission will meet Sept. 17 for a recommendation and the council is tentatively scheduled to consider adoption on Oct. 6 to meet state timelines. Council members asked staff to provide a clear redline or a separate guidance document that explains where and how the recommended edits will appear, to make public review transparent.
