The members of Decatur City Council and Planning Commission will host a presentation regarding the current zoning code rewrite on Thursday, August 18 at Turner-Surles Community Center, beginning at 5:00 p.m. Clarion Associates, who has assisted in the zoning code rewrite process for the City of Decatur, will deliver the presentation.
The City of Decatur has recently completed a full revision of its comprehensive zoning ordinance. Decatur’s zoning ordinance was published in 1987, with several portions dating back to the 1950s. In order to reflect a changing landscape and a modern community, Decatur’s long-range planning initiative, One Decatur, prioritized a full rewrite of the ordinance.
