The citizens of Troup County participated through numerous public meetings to create and implement smart growth initiatives, comprehensive planning principles, and development standards for unincorporated Troup County.  These initiatives are outlined in Troup County’s new Comprehensive Plan, a document that lays out the “big picture” principles and goals that help elected and appointed officials develop policies and practices to guide growth in a manner designed to achieve the community’s growth and development goals.  In addition, many of these principles have evolved into specific regulations outlined in the county’s Zoning Ordinance, another document utilized by the County.
These two documents, along with associated land use maps, are the primary tools that the Troup County Planning and Zoning department uses to achieve the principles and goals voiced by the citizens of Troup County.  Using these documents—and the guiding principles and goals they reflect—the Planning and Zoning Department works with citizens, businesses and developers throughout unincorporated Troup County to ensure smart growth. Working with the combined Board of Zoning Appeals and Planning Commission, the Planning and Zoning Department:

  • Accepts and reviews various applications, site plans, etc., for compliance with Troup County Ordinances
  • Maintains records of issued certificates and land use permits
  • Inspects applicable sites to ensure complete review of applications
  • Prepares various reports, packages, and presentations for Board of Zoning Appeals/Planning Commission (BZA/PC), Troup County Board of Commissioners, and public meetings
  • Communicates the appropriate process and review with all interested parties
  • Maintains minutes to record the deliberations and decisions of the BZA/PC and makes sure applications, correspondence and records reflect respective boards’ decisions
  • Maintains, updates and implements Troup County’s Comprehensive Plan by promoting and participating in various projects to further the stated goals and objectives
  • Along with the Department of Engineering, maintains, updates and implements the Joint Troup County Multi-Modal Transportation plan
  • Coordinates with officials in Troup County’s cities of LaGrange, West Point and Hogansville, maintaining communication to facilitate understanding of common goals
  • Participates in coordination of Census
  • Assists other County departments and jurisdictions in preparing grant applications
  • Communicates with regional and state agencies to accomplish inter-jurisdictional review of projects and plans and to coordinate review of regional land use and transportation planning goals, including review of the Developments of Regional Impact under the thresholds for metropolitan areas
