Planning and Zoning

 

Sandy Springs Planning and Zoning Division

The City's Planning and Zoning Division is responsible for the implementation of rules and regulations found in the City's Urban Development and Comprehensive Plan related to the development of property.

The HPCA plays a role in planning and zoning, particularly when there are petitions for changes in current zoning code/designations that would impact our neighborhood, positive or negative.
