Why is the Metropolitan Planning Commission (MPC) Responsible for the Update?
Since 1956 the MPC has served as the land planning and zoning agency for Chatham County and the Savannah. While the MPC prepares amendments to the zoning ordinances for each jurisdiction and makes recommendations, each governing body will remain responsible for the adoption and enforcement of the Unified Zoning Ordinance. The MPC’s Planning Commission will serve as the Executive Committee for the Zoning Update.
