Introduction
The City of South Fulton is kicking off the update to its Comprehensive Plan: the community’s vision for growth, development, and services over the next 25 years. Your feedback will help build a clear picture of our City’s future.

Click the "Survey" and "Map" tabs to give your input through a community survey and interactive map until the end of April!
Comprehensive plans are critical documents that help the community address important issues and opportunities while embracing a unique vision for the future. This plan will include both practical and implementable recommendations that promote safe communities, sustained economic development, diverse housing, transportation options, and other development and redevelopment efforts across the following topic areas:
- Land Use
- Transportation
- Economic Development
- Housing
- Capital Improvement
- Broadband Services
Periodic updates of local planning documents like the comprehensive plan are required in order to retain eligibility for various resources and programs administered by the state and stakeholder and public participation play a crucial role in the development of the plan. In order to provide for better consistency and coordination between local governments in the area of comprehensive planning, the State of Georgia has passed laws and regulations to guide communities in the preparation of their plans. Outreach efforts will be used to educate City of South Fulton residents and stakeholders on local opportunities and issues, and to gather input on community perceptions, needs, and priorities that can be incorporated into the plan. Outreach techniques are designed to be representative of the community, encourage broad participation, and target traditionally underserved communities, as well as generate meaningful feedback and build relationships that will support action once the planning effort is completed.
Please be sure to check this engagement site often to see how you can stay involved in the process!

Frequently Asked Questions
The City of South Fulton is working with its citizens and community stakeholders to update the Comprehensive Plan, a critical document that steers communities and helps them address important issues and opportunities while embracing a unique vision for the future.
This plan will include both practical and implementable recommendations that promote safe communities, sustained economic development, diverse housing, transportation options, and other development and redevelopment efforts.
The Georgia Department of Community Affairs has numerous resources available for the public to learn about local comprehensive planning in Georgia. Periodic updates to local planning documents, such as comprehensive plans, are required in order to retain Qualified Local Government status, which makes cities eligible for various funding, permitting, and incentive programs administered by the State. Learn more here: https://dca.georgia.gov/community-assistance/coordinated-planning/local-planning/local-comprehensive-planning.
This plan is focused on all areas within the city limits of the City of South Fulton. View a map of the city and council district boundaries here: https://www.cityofsouthfultonga.gov/DocumentCenter/View/8532/COSF-Map-All_Districts-UPDATED.
This project was awarded to Sizemore Group and its partners in Fall 2024 and is expected to end in October 2025 with the adoption of the updated comprehensive plan. Visit the Schedule Tab for a detailed breakdown of the planning process schedule and key upcoming dates.
Hearing from people on their firsthand experiences is critical to understanding the nuances of living in the City of South Fulton: What is working well? What are the opportunities for improvements? What are the challenges to overcome? Alongside technical analyses of the existing conditions and input from key stakeholders responsible for delivering infrastructure, policies, and programs, the updated comprehensive plan will incorporate feedback from residents and business owners about their priorities for the city's direction over the next 20 years. Public and stakeholder input will be used directly in the development of a vision and supporting goals for the plan as well as help inform the development of strategies for improving conditions in the City of South Fulton.
