This division is responsible for comprehensive planning for the county. Planning coordinates the plans and development policy between Cobb County and other jurisdictions. There are five primary responsibilities: long-range (comprehensive) planning, research, preservation, local planning (intergovernmental) and mapping.
The Cobb County Comprehensive Plan (1995-2015) does not serve as a development ordinance, but rather as a guide to continued growth and development countywide.
The Comprehensive Plan:
- Identifies needs/trends Cobb may have to address in the next twenty years;
- Lists goals and policy objectives to consider in order to realize its vision statement;
- Identifies short term projects that could assist addressing a need/trend or in implementing its goals and policy objectives; and
- Provides a generalized future land use map which complements the goals and policy objectives and indicates locations for a variety of land uses.
