Brandon Browning Seeks Rezoning for Family Care on Stella Henley Road

In a heartfelt plea at the Madison County Planning and Zoning Public Hearing on July 15, 2025, local resident Brandon Browning sought a zoning change to accommodate his ailing mother and stepfather. Browning, who lives at 270 Stella Henley Road in Danielsville, is requesting to rezone his property from agricultural (A1) to residential (R) to build a smaller dwelling for his family.

Browning emphasized the urgency of his request, explaining that his mother, who is 71 years old and suffering from dementia, needs to move closer to him for support. He described his commitment to the project, stating, "I'm trying to do this best that I can," and highlighted his background in law enforcement and his wife's work as a veterinarian.

The proposed change is not for commercial development but rather to create a family-oriented space that would allow Browning to care for his parents. He expressed his dedication to the land, mentioning the physical labor he has invested in maintaining it.

The Planning and Zoning Board will consider Browning's request, which underscores the growing need for accessible housing solutions for families facing health challenges. The outcome of this meeting could set a precedent for similar requests in the community, reflecting the importance of family support in times of need.
