Elements of the Cobb County Comprehensive Plan

• Identified needs the County should address in the next 20 years
• Vision Statement
• Goals and Policies for the County to consider to realize its vision
• Community Work Program that identifies projects that help to address the needs
• Future Land Use Plan that complements the goals and policies and a Future Land Use Map, that guides future development for the County.

Procedure to modify and update the Comprehensive Plan:

In order to allow for timely, small-scale changes to the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Plan, an annual plan amendment process has been established.
The annual plan amendment process begins in October and ends in January of the following year, with the final public hearing. During this time, staff members study proposed changes to the text and land use map that have arisen throughout the year. The changes may be the result of direction from the Board of Commissioners due to a rezoning action, approval of a study or master plan, and/or suggestions from the Planning Commission, residents, business community, or staff.

Public Hearing Dates:

Planning Commission: January 3, 2024 at 7:00pm
