Staff said the parcel is on the north end of the county and is surrounded by low‑density residential zoning; the requested rezoning aligns with the comprehensive plan’s low‑density residential designation. The rezoning is intended to allow the owner to subdivide 2.5 acres from a larger tract so a family member can take ownership; no immediate development or building is proposed. No speakers registered opposition and the commission approved the request.

The action clears the way for the owner to record the subdivision under RR‑1 zoning and for the prospective lot owner to pursue future building if desired and in compliance with county standards.","Planning staff recommended and the commission approved rezoning a 2.5‑acre parcel from A‑5 to RR‑1 to allow subdivision between family members; no development proposed at this time.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6273181,"Planning commission approves rezoning and variances for proposed Harris Trail commercial site; will proceed to county commissioners",580,1430000,2010000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3005000-e94a08f482bb8096d90d37e7d22862a3&start=1430&end=2010","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3005000-e94a08f482bb8096d90d37e7d22862a3/thumbnail_1430000.jpg","/articles/6273181/Bryan-County/Georgia/Planning-commission-approves-rezoning-and-variances-for-proposed-Harris-Trail-commercial-site-will-proceed-to-county-commissioners","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273181-c6c795527c3c902492ba752fda0e87c3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771125169&Signature=RxoCEyV2BwEaGD8-bEQIN7NcEj0YFBBAzzpSt-VfcFI63o71G5JuOKjuUiazjjTGgf10t-u5d3rcyK-ye2HhLtLG6ICxmYLTWr5B7FdTNF58jwdSOdJxx-Qay80lmqzd5f1EgJ~XRKysRavRBG3e7ZSMv~1LOWQiRH0sbXO9FirrxzBdRYvxPxnbX6OuFJ4Kqx7tUTqVLlMatp5h8vPX96x5kXEQ3gdYkgB3CcxjIiPLUs7CVMgHJIaLyuxX3iLJrywKfjuwX6o~BGQC-Pwn5r4ogddumGHre~KxX2bi6YgRgosNCLJSKe4jV9ysDLxA5xWLkx0xdSGhv2wXezHJpQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bryan County Planning and Zoning Commission on April 15, 2025 recommended approval of a rezoning of a 4.5‑acre parcel on Harris Trail from RR‑1 (rural residential) to B‑2 (general business) to allow a multi‑tenant shopping center, and separately recommended approval of two accompanying variances tied to proposed access and street-yard requirements. Both recommendations will move to the Bryan County Board of Commissioners for final action.

Planning staff described a revised concept plan submitted after an earlier hearing that reduced requested variances. Staff recommended rezoning with conditions: finalize and approve a traffic‑impact analysis (TIA) prior to land‑development/building permits; comply with TIA conditions and engineering frontage requirements; and incorporate future traffic improvements (whether a roundabout or a traffic signal) in final design. Staff recommended approval of two variances: a street‑yard reduction (from 25 feet to 2 feet for roughly 176.5 linear feet to accommodate an internal drive) and a front‑setback reduction (from 75 feet to 25 feet) as shown on the revised concept plan.

Applicant representative Randy Dykes of MESAC Engineering said the project was appropriate given adjacent commercial parcels and highway intersection context; proponents, including local business owners and community members, spoke in favor. Several residents, including members of the Harris family and adjacent homeowners, opposed rezoning to commercial use, citing concerns about traffic, safety and preserving rural character. Commissioners discussed traffic timelines; county engineering has approved a task order to design intersection improvements and staff said engineering estimated a 9–12 month engineering and design timeline once started.

The commission voted to recommend approval of the rezoning with staff conditions and separately approved the variances. The items will be forwarded to the Bryan County Board of Commissioners with the staff conditions noted in the record.","The commission recommended rezoning a 4.5-acre parcel on Harris Trail from RR‑1 to B‑2 for a multi-tenant shopping center and approved related variances; the recommendation, with conditions including a finalized traffic-impact analysis, will move to the county commission for final action.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6273184,"Board approves setback variance for Pine Ridge Court lot in Lake Lorraine subdivision",162,1198000,1360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3005000-e94a08f482bb8096d90d37e7d22862a3&start=1198&end=1360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3005000-e94a08f482bb8096d90d37e7d22862a3/thumbnail_1198000.jpg","/articles/6273184/Bryan-County/Georgia/Board-approves-setback-variance-for-Pine-Ridge-Court-lot-in-Lake-Lorraine-subdivision","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6273184-2dcd5391b2f1c660c4e1c6649e7c4b81/orig.mp4?Expires=1771125169&Signature=JiyMCfzdTVaGv6-iPeKJy4KU4Gz3v4033pu4wboUoVgw2mF9yzAt0qwtXQvf6BIL2JWEWvFr6y0IJ577AZLNDDLu3UsiPW2G-qqQucn0s00HC3IlcWAMl8R3bynEcefQEARI~D1OFLp0oaHAXy8yhhYPMEBP6Fu4YL1dxPJq9LWFOcef4czV5ICMww06HtzbfJEGYYbHYQqsee39hrsIjU9m4~BhdQOhwTRtP0l7d5bDAMStB7oezQ7gPMcg8byPpCShUlSsPVvgEEsSPz6r1Mp-fVvSjc7JHDOzJ1nXgnzX~OqYuMxC7vpk3s5RysCiahcNR53uAMHgVPFvhMiMFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Bryan County Board of Adjustments approved a variance request to reduce side setbacks for a proposed single-family home on a narrow lot on Pine Ridge Court in the Lake Lorraine subdivision on April 15, 2025.

Planner presentation noted the lot was recorded in 1965, predating modern zoning; the parcel is narrow (about 100 feet at its widest point, below the 50-foot lot-width threshold cited for RR‑1) and the applicant requested reducing each side setback from 35 feet to 25 feet to allow a home design that meets front and rear setbacks. Staff recommended approval because the application met variance criteria under the Unified Development Ordinance.

No members of the public registered to speak on this application, and the board closed the public hearing and approved the variance motion.

County planner Amanda (staff) told the board the shed — constructed without a permit — violated required side and rear setbacks and encroached on a 30-foot rear buffer; the applicant sought to reduce the side setback from 15 feet to 8 feet, the rear setback from 25 feet to 2 feet, and to encroach into the rear buffer to a minimum of 2 feet. Staff recommended denial because it found no hardship under the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) and determined the lot’s characteristics were not unique compared with other cul-de-sac lots in the neighborhood.

Resident Kevin Krueger, who said the shed is about 280 square feet and is positioned in a rear corner like many neighborhood sheds, told the board he believed the structure complied when built and that reducing it would require cutting through a window and impose substantial cost. Neighbors spoke in support, including Maria Ramos Gibbs, who said she sees the structure from her second-floor window and described it as attractive, and Scotty Huber, president of an adjoining HOA, who said approving the variance could set a precedent that undermines HOA and county setback rules.

After public comment, a motion to deny the requested variances carried. Staff advised Krueger of appeal rights and that an appeal would be heard in superior court; staff also said county staff could advise on next steps for permits or corrections.

The denial leaves the property owner with options to modify the structure to meet setbacks, seek an appeal to court, or pursue other remedies through county staff.","The Board of Adjustments denied a request to reduce setbacks and allow buffer encroachment for a 280-square-foot backyard shed after staff found the Unified Development Ordinance criteria unmet.","actionData","errors"]
