Within the next 60 days, Senoia residents should be able to see what the city's Planning Commission has worked on for the last year.

Planning Commission chairman Jack Merrick confirmed this week that the group has finished work on the city's future land use map and is completing work on the city's zoning ordinance.

Once the planning commission finishes the ordinances, all the work will be forwarded to city zoning attorney Frank Jenkins. In order to get the ordinances completed, the Planning Commission will hold a called meeting next Thursday at 7 p.m. to try to hammer out the final details.

The commission is working against a deadline of Jan. 31, 1999. For the last year, the city enacted a moratorium that forbade any new residential or commercial development in the city. The moratorium has been extended twice and Merrick said it won't be extended again.

The planning commission chairman has heard rumblings that several developers are ready to start building in the city once the moratorium is gone.

"We're being very careful to make sure this is done right," he said.

At its last meeting, Nancy Seeger from Chattahoochee-Flint Regional Development Center evaluated the group's work.
