The City of Snellville held a regular business meeting on June 10, 2026, which included a detailed discussion on proposed amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). The amendments primarily involved technical corrections, clarifications on zoning definitions, accessory structure permitting, and updated regulations on tree protection and lighting to improve enforceability and community aesthetics. A notable policy change allows certain residential group living uses in commercial districts through special use permits, providing the mayor and council discretionary authority. The meeting also addressed an extension of a remediation deadline for a gas station property, amending the contract to June 30, 2027, to allow additional environmental cleanup efforts. Additionally, the city issued an RFP for Christmas decor contracts, with bids due shortly, and discussed potential leasing of lighting fixtures. The council approved motions to place the UDO amendments and parking ordinance changes on the June 22 agenda for further consideration. No contract awards were finalized during this meeting, but several procurement-related action items and policy updates were outlined.
