The story
The Clarkesville Planning Commission began discussing aesthetic zoning in November 2025, considering whether to extend the city's current building guidelines to cover the entire city rather than just designated areas.
The commission took up the topic again in February 2026. According to the meeting minutes, it decided that a condensed set of building guidelines should be created to guide new construction and alterations in areas of the city outside the existing Preservation Districts.
