Abstract
The Planning and Zoning Department for Douglas
County, Georgia, at the request of its Board of Commissioners, has
been working on a complete reorganization of all development
regulations, including the creation of new regulations and
procedures. This reorganization, entitled The Unified Development
Ordinance, covers all facets of development from zoning to site
plan review to landscaping requirements, etc., and provides "one
stop shopping" with regard to principles and procedures. During
this re-write project, the Board of Commissioners made a request
that a Watershed Task Force of citizens be assembled to assist staff
with principles and procedures specifically in the County's water
supply watershed basins. This Task Force has addressed issues
relating to zoning, dimensional criteria, alternative options for
development and enforcement.
