Zoning Admin.
The City of North Augusta has designated areas of the city as appropriate for Residential, Commercial and Industrial uses. Special zoning districts include Planned Development, Open Space Preservation, Highway Corridor and Traditional Neighborhood Development. The Department of Economic & Community Development provides information on zoning regulations and allowable land uses in the various zoning categories. 

In the event a use is desired on a property not suitably zoned, the city may, in some cases, grant a rezoning. The decision to grant a rezoning is based on consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, compatibility of the proposed zone with nearby zones, the adequacy of city infrastructure and services in the area and public input. A special hearing by the Planning Commission and action by the City Council is necessary for a rezoning. 

The department also provides staff support to the Board of Zoning Appeals, the quasi judicial board that hears appeals for variances from provisions of the Zoning and Development Standards Ordinance. The board meets on the first Tuesday of each month, if necessary, in the Council Chambers, located on the second floor of the Municipal Building at 400 East Buena Vista Avenue.
