Click here to view all DRIs in the Coastal Georgia region. Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) are projects of sufficient scale that they are likely to have inter-jurisdictional impacts. The Georgia Planning Act requires that local governments submit details of a proposed DRI to their Regional Development Center for intergovernmental review before taking any action to further the project. "Action" includes rezoning, zoning variance, permit, hookup to a water or sewer system, subdivision or site plan approval, or entering into a contract. The DRI review process is designed to proceed quickly in order to minimize project delays. During the 30-day DRI review, CGRDC staff solicits comments from potentially affected government agencies as well as adjacent governments. Comments are forwarded to the applicant government, and can be used for local decision-making. During the review, local government staff may undertake preliminary administrative functions such as project evaluation/assessment, site visits, and placing consideration of these items on a future agenda for formal action. However, local governments are precluded from taking any official action related to the project until the DRI review process is completed and the local government has had adequate time to consider the DRI review comments. |
