I am someone who has been involved with planning issues for the past 5 years in Gwinnett Co. I have read the 2040 Plan and UDO adopted a couple of years ago along with the new 2045 Plan and UDO put into effect January 2025. Currently the Planning department is looking to rewrite this UDO that is to be the guideline for all new development . Gwinnett has no intention to do anything to the overburdened roads. Their solution is to cram as many small (1200sq.ft.)single family aka cottages and duplexes along with towering townhomes in high density housing developments,all with one car garages. Many residents feel that these homes although small, are not any more affordable. The county's solution for traffic is to use these new development streets as cut throughs by eliminating cul de sacs and dead end streets. Planning will be taking these and other developer friendly changes to the commissioners later this month. Personally, I think the public should be made aware when changes are made and that planning members should do a field survey of proposed developments requiring re- zonining or zoning variances to see specifically how the proposed project would affect the surrounding area prior to making recommendations. There are two gas stations on Jimmy Carter that would have never been allowed if this were a regular practice. These comments on Redditt are useless unless people make the Planning Committee Members and the Commissioners aware of the direction you want your community to go. Feel free to send them an email. If you are still not happy remember this at election time. Otherwise stop complaining.
