- Planning & Zoning
Located slightly off the beaten path of I-85, Granite Quarry has grown slowly over the past decades, but as the Central Piedmont Region of North Carolina flourishes, our population growth is picking up speed. Recognizing the value of our small-town atmosphere and charm, the Town took steps to preserve and improve our downtown commercial area by adopting a Downtown Masterplan.
Our updated Granite Quarry Development Ordinance, or GQDO was adopted in June of 2023 and is used by staff, Council, and the Planning Board to ensure quality development throughout the Town and its Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ).
Under the direction of the Town Manager, the Planner coordinates projects with different Town Departments, Citizens, and Boards as well as other public and private agencies to ensure that our Town remains a healthy and vibrant community with a high quality of life for its citizens. The Planner provides staff support for the Planning Board, Board of Adjustment, and the Town’s Mayor and Council. The Planning Board meets on the first Monday of each month at 6:00 PM at the Town Hall and its meetings are open to the public.
Contact the Planner at (704) 279-5596, ext. 204 or by email.
