    Sep 22 2025

    The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners has approved a temporary moratorium on certain development applications while proposed changes to the Unified Development Ordinance are under review.

    The pause applies to applications for crematories, emissions inspection establishments, fleet vehicle repair facilities, and landscape supply businesses. During this time, the County will not accept applications for zoning map amendments, changes in conditions, special use permits, land disturbance permits, development permits, or building permits for these uses.

    The moratorium will remain in effect through October 31, 2025, unless the proposed amendments to the UDO are approved sooner. The pause allows time for public hearings before the Planning Commission and Board of Commissioners as required by the UDO and state law.
