Understanding the Petitioning Process
When proposed development in Sandy Springs falls outside of approved land uses, developers petition the City. There are two petitioning processes in Sandy Springs:
Petitioning Process for Rezonings and Conditional Use Permits
Developers are required to hold community meetings before and after they file a petition. After the community meetings are held, petitions for rezonings and use permits, as well as changes to ordinances go before the Planning Commission. A final ruling on the petition is made by the Mayor and City Council during a regularly scheduled Mayor and City Council Meeting.
Petitioning Process for Variances and Zoning Ordinance Modifications
Once a developer submits a variance, their petition is heard by the Board of Appeals during the next regularly scheduled meeting.
