The Spalding County Community Development Office is responsible for developing long and short range planning and zoning to guide the growth of the unincorporated areas of the county and the administration of regulations that implement these plans for growth.
The department's key role is to maintain the Spalding County Comprehensive Plan, guiding the development of unincorporated Spalding County with goals and policies for housing, economic development, resources, facilities, utilities, transportation, land use, and the Capital Improvement Element, including the Short Term Work Program for Impact Fees.
Development in unincorporated Spalding county is regulated by the zoning functions of the Department primarily through the Spalding County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The UDO contains the zoning districts allowed in the unincorporated area of the county. The Zoning District outlines the permitted and conditional uses that are allowed and the minimum dimensional requirements such as lot size and setbacks among other requirements. Applications for rezoning, variances, preliminary plats, final plats, and site plans are submitted to this Department. These applications are distributed throughout the other county departments for comments and scheduled for public hearings, if applicable.
This department maintains the County’s Official Zoning Map, making changes as approved by the Board of Commissioners. The department handles applications to rezone property and certificates of zoning compliance.
