Coweta County's zoning ordinance caps building height by district. The Rural Conservation (RC) district allows up to 3 stories or 40 feet, while the RD two-family and R-2 multifamily districts top out at 3 stories or 35 feet.
Coweta County limits building height through Appendix A rather than leaving it unregulated. The dimensional standards set a maximum of 3 stories or 40 feet in the Rural Conservation (RC) district and 3 stories or 35 feet in both the RD two-family and R-2 multifamily districts, whichever is lower. Height is measured to the highest point of the structure, and customary roof projections such as chimneys and antennas are handled separately. Greater height requires a variance from the Board of Zoning and Appeals or a rezoning. Near the Newnan-Coweta County Airport (CCO) and along Atlanta-area approach paths, federal FAA airspace limits can also cap structure height. Newnan and Senoia set their own limits inside city lines.
Exceeding the district height limit violates the zoning ordinance. Community Development can deny permits and require the structure be lowered. Added height needs a variance from the Board of Zoning and Appeals or a rezoning.
