Comprehensive
Plan
New Plan
Under Development:
The city planning department is currently working to prepare the
2008 update of the Comprehensive Plan. We encourage you
to visit the project web
site to find out more.
In 1989, the Georgia State
Legislature passed the Georgia Planning Act, which
established a coordinated planning program for the State of
Georgia. This program provides local governments with
opportunities to plan for their future and to improve
communication with their neighboring governments.
The Planning Act also
assigns local governments certain minimum responsibilities
to maintain "Qualified Local Government" (QLG)
status and, thus, be eligible to receive certain state
funding. The cornerstone of the coordinated planning program
is the preparation of a long-range comprehensive plan by
each local government in the state.
These plans intend to
highlight community goals and objectives as well as
determine how to achieve these goals and objectives. The
Comprehensive Plan is to be used by the Columbus as a
tool to direct and guide development in a manner that
insures the quality of life and service levels associated
with the city are maintained at desired levels. It is
not the intention of the City of Columbus to compile a
complex document of data files with little analysis or
direction, but rather to create a thorough document that is
easy to read, understand, and most importantly, to follow. To
maintain its QLG status, a local government must:
- prepare and adopt a
comprehensive plan that conforms to the "Minimum
Standards and Procedures for Local Comprehensive
Planning" which specify items the plan should
address;
- adopt and implement
regulations consistent with the comprehensive plan and
the Minimum Standards;
- update the Short Term
Work Program (STWP) portion of the plan at least every
five years; and
- update the entire plan
at least every ten years.
