The DRI review process involves the host local government, the reviewing Regional Development Center (RDC). and other potentially affected local governments. RDC's and agencies. Thresholds are used to determine whether a proposed development is a DRI. Because positive and negative impacts of DRI's are.not necessarily confined to the host local governments' jurisdictional boundaries, impacts on other jurisdictions need to be assessed. Ifad development project is submitted to the Planning and Zoning Commission and/or the Mayor and Council for review, then the time deadlines imposed in Article XIV are suspended until the DRI review process is completed. 11-4 CityofWalnut Grove Rezoning Application Date: March 13,2018 Page 8 REZONING APPLICATION AN/ APPLICATION TO AMEND THE OFFICIALZONING MAP OF WALNUT GROVE, GEORGIA APPLICANT INFORMATION OWNERINFORMATION: NAME: Lty 6t Walnut SYye NAME: YAME ADDRESS: amlooavil STATE: (A ADDRESS: CITY: PHONE: zp30052 STATE: ZIP: PHONE: 710 - 787- 0046 CONTACT PERSON: sephone.
