Thank you for your interest in Fairburn’s future!

The City of Fairburn hosted its final public meeting for the comprehensive plan on June 17th. At the meeting, we asked participants to consider the strategies for each "subject" of the plan and give them a grade based on how well they will implement Fairburn's goals. For those who were unable to join us, we have created a survey to help capture any feedback you may have about the plan's draft strategies.

This survey will take approximately 15 minutes and will help the City and consultant team refine the plan.

At our first public meeting in February, the public graded Land Use in Fairburn as "D+"

To address the needs and opportunities while keeping our community goals in mind, here are the draft Land Use strategies:

  1. Direct residential growth—at a scale that is compatible to its small-town character—to/near downtown. (This takes advantage of the densest transportation infrastructure and will provide “rooftops” to better support small businesses.)
  2. With the exception of projects already underway/approved, limit additional development in the SR 74/Senoia Road corridor until a specific plan for the area is established. This plan should consider infrastructure needed to accommodate recent growth, better streetscapes, and opportunities to create a better sense of place.
  3. Direct any future industrial growth to areas already served by established truck routes and infrastructure.
    • Do not approve additional industrial uses adjacent to residential areas without significant buffering and transportation infrastructure in place.
    • Do not allow industrial growth to occur in rural, undeveloped areas.
  4. Beyond what is already underway/permitted/zoned, limit additional suburban-style residential growth in rural areas.
  5. Once adopted, update Fairburn’s Zoning Ordinance to reflect the vision and strategies of the comprehensive plan.
    • Strengthen requirements for parks, open spaces, and natural areas for large developments.
  6. Use fiscal impact assessments to ensure development is financially sustainable for the City.
