Purpose
The Community Assessment is a requirement under the “Standards and Procedures for Local Comprehensive Planning” as amended by the Georgia Department of Community Affairs (DCA) on May 1, 2005. Preparation of a comprehensive plan in accordance with these standards is an essential requirement in maintaining Newnan’s status as a Qualified Local Government.

The primary purpose of this document is to provide background information for the City of Newnan’s Comprehensive Plan. Specifically, this document provides a review of the issues and opportunities that will affect the future of the City, delineates and discusses character areas and areas of special concern, and provides a detailed analysis of existing conditions as well as future projections.

Scope
The DCA standards require the following four components:
1. Identification of Potential Issues and Opportunities
2. Analysis of Existing Development Patterns
3. Analysis of Consistency with Quality Community Objectives
4. Supporting Analysis of Data and Information

In addition to the components listed above, an optional technical appendix (Appendix A) has been attached containing maps and other supporting documents beyond DCA’s general requirements.
