Abstract
Planning started in the 1920s as simplistic delineations of land. Zoning and planning have since progressed to complicated designs of districts, overlays, and built environment standards, among others. What has not changed are the procedural rules of bringing planning and zoning decisions to life. Based on traditional systems of democracy, procedures in planning seek only to act as the minimum standard of conduct despite producing genuine impacts, akin to substantive law. This paper seeks to illuminate those procedures in Georgia and begin the conversation for planners to consider what has long been treated as local government attorneys’ responsibility, alone.
