MAPPING COBBS FUTURE |
| |
The Cobb County Comprehensive Plan is the guiding policy document
for all land use and development regulations in unincorporated
Cobb County, and for regional services throughout the County
including transit, sewers, parks, trails and open space. In
addition, the Comprehensive Plan is the mechanism for the County
to retain its “Qualified Local Government” (QLG)
status. The QLG status allows the County to receive grants and
tap other sources of funding to mitigate the cost of public/capital
improvements.

| Cobb County has three types of Comprehensive Plan updates that are conducted: yearly, 5-year, and 10-year. The yearly updates contain small alterations to address technical updates and make revisions to do not require substantive policy changes. The five-year update is a revision to the Work Plan which contains action items to be undertaken that assist in implementing the policies and goals contained within the plan document. The 10-year update is a large scale revision of the plan document that generates new statistics about the community and has demographic projections for future economic and population growth that serve as the foundation for potential policy revisions. The 10-year update contains multiple opportunities for public input into the plan generation process in an effort to gain consensus on the efforts of the County.
The Cobb County 2030 Comprehensive Plan will provide a strategic long-term vision and basic goals, objectives, policies and recommendations to help guide the county’s future growth and development. The Plan makes recommendations in the areas of land use, transportation, economic development, parks and open space, historical and cultural resources, housing, community facilities, natural resources, and intergovernmental cooperation. When adopted, the Comprehensive Plan will be one of the primary tools used by County agencies, the Planning Commission, Board of Commissioners and other policy bodies to make decisions about the location of land uses and community facilities, priorities for public investment and the extension of public services, business development, and how to meet transportation needs.
