Commission hears several first‑reading rezoning requests; tables Ware subdivision

The Coffee County Board of Commissioners on Sept. 8 took up multiple land‑use matters in first reading and administrative action. Jason Whiddon, Code Enforcement Director, presented three separate rezoning requests on first reading: a 0.91‑acre request by June Mullis at 4223 Highway 32 West to change R2 to Planned Development to allow her daughter's law office (the property would revert to rental use if the office ceases); an 11.35‑acre request by Donaldson Jowers at 368 Earl Day Road from AG to RM for a proposed 17‑lot subdivision (Planning Commission and staff recommended approval); and a 95.8‑acre request from Christopher S. Knight / The SOD Farm of South Georgia, LLC to rezone R2 to AG, which Planning Commission and staff recommended denying because of potential impacts near the old Beaver Kreek Golf Course.
