Norcross Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance
The Comprehensive Plan is a policy guide for making rezoning and capital investment decisions and sets policies for City officials and staff concerning the future development of Norcross. The Comprehensive Plan is updated at a minimum of every five years. The Mayor and Council of Norcross adopted the city’s newest Comprehensive Plan which can be viewed by visiting “Imagine Our Future” 2040 Comprehensive Plan, Technical Addendum, Future Development Map and Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Throughout 2018 and early 2019, the Community Development and Planning Department worked diligently with the consulting team from Jacobs, performed numerous interviews with stakeholders, two pop up events, two community open houses, a month long online survey and worked for four months with an appointed 18-member Steering Committee to develop these plans. This plan lays out the future vision and goals for the community, and also establishes priority needs and opportunities. A five-year work program of distinct activities, initiatives, programs and administrative systems are also outlined to implement the plan.
More information about these two projects can be found on imagineourfuture.org.
