Land use in the unincorporated county is governed by the Coweta County Zoning and Development Ordinance, adopted as Appendix A of the county Code of Ordinances. The elected Board of Commissioners is the governing body that acts on zoning matters, and the county's Community Development (Zoning) Division administers the ordinance and reviews applications. Incorporated cities such as Newnan and Senoia handle zoning within their own limits.
A rezoning (zoning amendment) petition is first reviewed by the county's planning staff and the Planning Commission, which holds a public hearing and votes to recommend approval or denial. The application and the staff/commission recommendations are then transmitted to the Board of Commissioners, which holds its own public hearing and makes the final decision. Hearings are conducted in accordance with Georgia zoning law and the Board's adopted rules governing commission meetings.
The Zoning Division reviews applications and site plans for compliance with county ordinances and coordinates the review of rezonings, conditional use permits, variances, and administrative height variances. Staff check submittals against the Zoning and Development Ordinance before matters proceed to the appropriate hearing body.
The Zoning and Development Ordinance is published as Appendix A of the Coweta County Code of Ordinances on the Municode Library and on the county's website. Article 2, Section 24 lists the zoning districts into which the unincorporated county is divided, which include the RC Rural Conservation District (Article 7, formerly the RR Rural Reserve district) among other residential, commercial, and industrial classifications.
