Maps
The Existing Land Use Map is a graphic map of what is on the ground at a given point in time. It is color coded based on current land uses determined by field surveys undertaken in the summer 2006, analysis of aerial photography, and tax assessor data. Its function is to act as a base map, a starting point towards the future development map to be drafted in the spring 2007.
The Character Area Map contains specific geographic areas within the community that 1) have unique or special characteristics that need to be preserved; 2) have potential to evolve into unique areas; or 3) require special attention because of unique development issues. Each character area is a planning sub-area within the community where more detailed, small-area planning and policy implementation may be applied in order to preserve, improve, or otherwise influence future development patterns in a manner consistent with the community vision.
The Special Attention Map summarizes the locations most likely to be impacted by growth, including areas where growth should be avoided. As the City continues to grow and develop, it will have significant impacts on the existing residents, natural and cultural resources, community services and facilities, and infrastructure. The map shows where these areas are located.
The Future Land Use Map for the City of Snellville is a parcel-specific map that is intended to serve as a guide in making rezoning decisions. The map assigns a future land use designation to every parcel in the city. These land use designations are not definite but rather a blueprint that reflects anticipated land use needs. Land use changes will ultimately depend on the changing needs and overall desires of the community.
The Future Development Map illustrates several major features that are intended to help guide rezoning and capital investment decisions. These features include character areas and key development areas. A description of each character area, as well as corresponding development strategies, is available on this website under Comprehensive Plan documents.
