Sewer work is underway. Campbellton’s crossroads zoning is still unfinished.

The October-adopted comprehensive plan places Campbellton vision and overlay-district work in 2029, while a broader citywide zoning update is targeted for 2027.

Chattahoochee Hills’ October 2026 comprehensive plan gives Campbellton a split status report: Fulton County is constructing sewer service and a developer has rezoned part of the area, but a dedicated crossroads zoning district and coordination with state transportation officials remain unfinished.⁠[1]

The adopted work program places continued Campbellton vision work—and consideration of an overlay district or similar zoning tool—in 2029. That is a planning target, not an adopted district or a promise that new rules will take effect that year. The same program separately targets a citywide zoning-ordinance update for 2027.⁠[1]

Campbellton already has an adopted vision: the 2021 Historic Campbellton Crossroads Framework Plan. It outlines three districts—Community Hamlet, Transitional and Rural Living—with zoning recommendations. Its transportation and public-space recommendations include road and streetscape changes, a crossroads multi-use trail, an arts and cultural event space, and Campbellton Park.⁠[1]

The unfinished district does not mean development faces no rules. A separate rezoning ordinance adopted August 5, 2025, addressed development shown along Highway 92 without the required mixed-use-hamlet buffers. Its conditions say building within that buffer would require a variance, zoning-text amendment or rezoning of that portion to Historic Crossroads. If the buffer is modified, development inside the mapped Historic Crossroads area must be consistent with the Campbellton framework.⁠[2]

The October plan calls for implementing the framework through infrastructure improvements and updated development regulations. Its Campbellton status entry does not name the developer or give a sewer-service opening date. What it does establish is that physical infrastructure work and some rezoning have advanced while the broader crossroads district remains on the city’s to-do list.⁠[1]
