CLARKESVILLE, Ga. — Habersham County officials will host a public open house later this month to give residents an opportunity to review and learn more about the county’s proposed Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) before formal consideration by county leaders.
The open house is scheduled for Wednesday, June 11, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. in the second-floor conference room of the Habersham County Administration Building at 130 Jacob’s Way in Clarkesville.
According to the county, the event is designed as a drop-in open house rather than a formal public meeting, allowing residents to review maps, ask questions and discuss the proposed ordinance directly with planning commission members and county staff.
Officials said the proposed UDO could affect property owners throughout the county.
Residents attending the open house will have an opportunity to review their property’s current and proposed zoning designation, learn how the proposed ordinance may affect their property and speak one-on-one with planning commission members. County staff will also be available to answer questions about the proposed regulations and development standards.
County officials are encouraging residents to review the proposed changes before attending. Information about the proposed ordinance and zoning maps is available on the county’s website.
No formal presentation will be given during the event. Instead, county officials say the open-house format is intended to allow residents to gather information, ask questions and gain a better understanding of the proposed ordinance.
Habersham County encourages property owners, residents and other stakeholders to attend and learn more about how the proposed Unified Development Ordinance may impact the future development of the county.
