Highway 20 East Overlay District
Article 16.3 Highway 20 East Overlay District DRAFTBackground
Due to the GDOT widening project of the HWY 20 corridor, this will increase interest in the area for potential development (Follow this link for more information regarding the road widening: (https://sr20improvements-gdot.hub.arcgis.com/). The Planning and Zoning Department intends to create a zoning overlay for the east side of Highway 20 (Cumming Highway) from Canton Marketplace to the Forsyth County line. Creating a zoning overlay allows for enhanced design features along this important corridor. A zoning overlay would not create or change existing zoning districts but would create a distinct design along the corridor in the county.
