Planning & Zoning
Planning
Planning is responsible for formulating policy recommendations and programs to guide future growth and development in the City of Peachtree Corners. One of the many planning responsibilities is planning, updating, and implementing the 2045 Comprehensive Plan. You can view the plan on our Community Development page.
Zoning
Zoning governs the specific use, height, area of land, and density of development allowed on a property. Zoning in the City of Peachtree Corners is governed by the Zoning Ordinance. Rezoning, Special Use Permits, Changes-in-Conditions, Variances, and Zoning Certifications are among the zoning process. View the Zoning Map on our Maps page.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Please watch out for fraudulent emails targeting residents and businesses with planning-related applications, including zoning cases, variance requests, and special administrative permits. We've seen scammers posing as City staff send fake invoices and request payment by electronic wire transfer—a major red flag, as the City never uses wire transfers for these matters. Other warning signs include messages claiming to be from the Planning Commission (which does not send direct correspondence), misspellings, and email addresses ending in “usa.com,” which are not valid City domains. Do not open attachments or send any funds. If you receive a suspicious message or have questions, please call 678-691-1200.
