About District 4 - City of South Fulton, GA
We are an agricultural, rural, suburban and commercial district. Industrial development in other cities is close to some areas of our district. Citizens have told me that they do not want residential and industrial development to co-exist.
​
A Comprehensive Plan includes the vision for future growth and development for government. It also includes major community input and provides guidance for elected officials on planning decisions.
Zoning determines what goes on the land. The type of development, building size and placements, open and greenspace, etc., is important. Citizens also play a role in making zoning decisions. Whenever citizens receive information to attend zoning meetings they should so they can be involved. Speak up, be informed, hold me, yourself, and our community accountable.
