Fulton County notice concerns development variance hearing

What the notice concerns

Fulton County has posted notice of a public hearing involving a development-standard variance. A variance is a request to allow a proposed project or property use to differ from a standard in the county’s development rules.

The notice establishes that the matter is to come before Fulton County for a public hearing. It does not identify the applicant, the property, the development standard at issue, or the requested change.

Public hearing process

A public hearing gives interested residents an opportunity to follow the matter and participate in the county’s review. The hearing concerns the variance request rather than a candidate or election.

The date, time, location and public-comment instructions are not stated in the notice information available for this report. Residents should review the county’s official hearing notice for those details before attending or submitting comments.

What residents should check

The key documents for the proceeding will identify the property involved, the development rule subject to the request and the action the county may take. Those details will help residents understand how the proposed variance could affect development in the area.
