County launches public comment phase for UDC/ Comprehensive Plan updates, schedules hearings

Hall County Government has released draft revisions to its Unified Development Code (UDC) for public review and comment on the county website.

“Community input is vital to the successful planning of future growth in Hall County,” Planning and Zoning Director Katie Ahmed said. “While staff does an incredible job drafting updates, the only way to ensure they align with community expectations is through community feedback.”

Changes to the UDC, which provides the framework for development, include:

  • New reversion and data center ordinances
  • New Residential Single-Family Detached (RSF) and Residential Single-Family Attached (RTH) districts
  • Updates to Residential Mixed (RX), Residential Multi-Family (RMF), Mixed Use (MU), and Planned Development (PD) districts
  • Updates to Use Provisions and Site Development Standards
  • Minor adjustments to the Comprehensive Plan to align with UDC changes

The proposals can be viewed and comments submitted online anytime by visiting hallcounty.org/PublicOutreach. Comments must be submitted by 5:00 p.m. June 15.

In addition to submitting comments online, in-person public comment meetings are scheduled in early June.

*Tuesday, June 2, from 6-8 p.m. at Mulberry Creek Community Center (4491 JM Turk Road, Flowery Branch)

*Thursday, June 4, from 6-8 p.m. in the 2nd Floor Commission Meeting Room (2875 Browns Bridge Road, Gainesville)

*Tuesday, June 9, from 6-8 p.m. at North Hall Community Center (4175 Nopone Road, Gainesville)

More information, including the full drafts of each change, project timeline, and public input forms can be found at hallcounty.org/PublicOutreach.
