Planning Commission

Overview

The Gordon County Planning Commission reviews zoning and future land use map issues for the unincorporated areas of the county and recommends zoning and map revisions to the Board of Commissioners. The Planning Commission also makes decisions on variance requests.

This advisory commission, composed of five citizens appointed by the Board of County Commissioners for four-year terms, conducts monthly public hearings and makes recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners regarding rezoning of land. In addition, this commission recommends revisions to the Board of Commissioners concerning the county's building and zoning ordinances and future land-use map. This appointed commission also serves as the Board of Appeals to hear appeals when it is alleged that an error has occurred in the interpretation of county building codes and to conduct public hearings and render decisions on variances to the county's zoning ordinance. This advisory commission receives staff support from the Planning and Development Department.

Meeting

Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month at 6 pm at the County Judicial Building, located at 101 S Piedmont Street, Calhoun.
