Ronald and Debbie Vickery seek rezoning on Log Landing Road for agricultural use

A significant zoning request took center stage at the Effingham County Planning Board meeting on August 12, 2025, as Ronald and Debbie Vickery sought to rezone a 0.33-acre parcel from R-1 to AR-2. This change is crucial for combining their land with an adjacent 3.63-acre parcel already designated as AR-2, located on Log Landing Road in the Fourth District.

The proposal aims to facilitate permitted uses under the AR-2 zoning classification, which aligns with the county's future land use map that designates the area for agricultural purposes. The Vickerys' plan includes utilizing private well and septic systems for the combined property, with Log Landing being a county-maintained road.

The application has been deemed complete by staff, pending a review and signature from development services before the zoning can officially take effect. This step is essential for the Vickerys to move forward with their plans, highlighting the ongoing development and land use considerations in Effingham County.
