Public comment period for UZO extended!
The timeline for reviewing the draft unified zoning ordinance (UZO) and zoning map has been extended by the Planning Commission. After extending the deadline to January 31, 2012 from September 30, 2011, the Planning Commission has now extended the date indefinitely to allow more time for additional work, including responding to stakeholder comments. As that process nears completion, a 60-day notice will given to indicate that the public comment period is ending. After the public comment period, the Planning Commission will continue its review prior to making a recommendation to the City of Savannah Mayor and Aldermen and the Chatham County Board of Commissioners.
