Staff described the parcel (B 08025 G) as currently zoned AG in the agricultural preservation character area and recommended conditional approval with two conditions: the standard condition and a requirement that the owner bring all structures into compliance before issuance of a building permit for the manufactured home.

Lindsey Cooper, who identified herself as living at 1300 Sam Cooper Road and a family member of the owners, said the manufactured home would allow her parents to live with her so the family can provide care: “We are trying to apply for the special use permit for my parents to live with us so we can help take care of them and stay on the property,” Cooper said. The transcript records that the owner will install a separate septic system for the additional dwelling.

After no other public speakers registered in favor or opposition, the commission approved the special‑use request with the staff condition that all structures be brought into compliance prior to issuance of the manufactured‑home building permit. The motion passed by voice/hand; no roll‑call tally was recorded in the meeting transcript.

The condition requiring structures to be brought into compliance remains a prerequisite to permitting. Materials in the application packet include the recorded plat and a concept plan showing the proposed manufactured‑home location.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Planning Commission Meeting September 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the Sept. 15 meeting, the Oconee County Planning Commission recommended approval of special‑use application P250150 to allow a manufactured home next to an existing site‑built house, subject to a condition that all structures be brought into compliance before permitting.","taxTitle","Oconee County, Georgia","taxId",28542,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6470314,"Planning commission approves larger senior‑living footprint with conditions",273,383000,656000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5779762-fbb087f029b62a35c22debbc032cad82&start=383&end=656","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5779762-fbb087f029b62a35c22debbc032cad82/thumbnail_383000.jpg","/articles/6470314/Oconee-County/Georgia/Planning-commission-approves-larger-seniorliving-footprint-with-conditions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6470314-58b9250d0326e18d29813dfa9594da32/orig.mp4?Expires=1775473052&Signature=UYMCSNJDiIqQ0id1o1V~98gmTiJUJ8pQd6vYXFfml4leq22uC1Wrgae~TVHLssYe5xaL~y9Ukhlg07jVfZMpJ8w3W7Fpv~ZJJPWd9r2q6BBmvIlmr49q4yVBn0nvWE8NscxkLtnxuQb0g-EjhoTKgMKKBs-9ZgGNMSGNTzhO4XYfTA0tMVaN5BiK-DlYfRay5AY9uF2LM23kSxZR6mG~3pnRr0GaD6VzbuWUHsuSPDFOcS0048J~2aTIS2Ov45OSeNmSpmq27ZSYoyP0va2QLQYT20zIKyylIk9kY0dMR2yb1s5IU0ah32Ok~1Stfc8~bR-iIZBaKLVILUSRHVpeSw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its Sept. 15 meeting, the Oconee County Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning amendment for the Landings of Bogart LLC to allow a total building square footage cap of 138,422 on the property. The commission forwarded the decision to the Oconee County Board of Commissioners for final action.

The planning department presented rezone case P250153 and recommended conditional approval. Staff’s conditions include requiring that all parcels be held in common ownership by a single entity (Landing Senior Living LLC), amending the condominium plat and declaration to treat the property as a single, comprehensive senior living community with the sale of individual units prohibited, and recording a recombination plat to abandon existing condominium lines and merge parcels into a single tax parcel. Staff also recommended the explicit limit that total building square footage on the property shall not exceed 138,422.

Justin Greer of Pittman and Greer Engineering, representing the applicant, described the requested change as a modification of earlier approvals. He said the project’s room count will remain the same as under the 2017 zoning and the 2021 modification: “The room count will not change from that 2017 zoning. It stays at 96 beds overall,” Greer said. Greer explained the expanded footprint reflects connecting two previously separate buildings to create more communal space rather than adding resident capacity.

No members of the public signed up to speak in favor or opposition, and the commission moved to approve the request with staff conditions. The meeting record shows the planning commission’s vote by voice/hand; no roll‑call tally was read into the record.

The commission’s recommendation does not enact the change; the Board of Commissioners will consider the rezoning request and staff conditions at a future meeting. Materials presented included a concept plan, architectural images of the existing adjacent building, and the prior zoning history noted in the record (initial zoning in 2017 and a modification in 2021).","At its Sept. 15 meeting, the Oconee County Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning amendment for the Landings of Bogart LLC to allow a total building square footage cap of 138,422 on the property.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6470303,"Commission recommends conditional approval for community‑scale church campus in Bishop area",578,1050000,1628000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5779762-fbb087f029b62a35c22debbc032cad82&start=1050&end=1628","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5779762-fbb087f029b62a35c22debbc032cad82/thumbnail_1050000.jpg","/articles/6470303/Oconee-County/Georgia/Commission-recommends-conditional-approval-for-communityscale-church-campus-in-Bishop-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6470303-5fe9c5d7c0cef46960316fa0607b4093/orig.mp4?Expires=1775473052&Signature=heiQkMU70gbgzZM04dSymKUUZ2zIf8kiV3iu23F6VjXqzThqHanxKtueQjVjxf13KTqio3GWndiBp0JbUFT78-mIWBSJA2adogJScS7VC6dZ~hNUAjICLlryHSfvR1jbH8UnwVF5u5QwIYurh4ADGOmB3rX2LzOHNl4bFZ-88NsCfU8Xq7R5k53hOX-nJKFjS6tlLzVYAl5bq8dAIQ6Zex-HjZLJ1xzd~PxzppGk8VONdwudKsHKAnKmJClAU04~icKol0azXogmH2pWP9-GuHFkG9pihAfFqdweJgLAUpuce~BL2ERvQP2OAL4bIBbeJhznreGEJz2dlaYY3KwNdg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Oconee County Planning Commission recommended approval Sept. 15 of special‑use application P250154 for a community‑scale church campus submitted by an entity identified in staff materials as Saint Alread Catholic Church (applicant/owner). Planning Department staff described the parcel (A 07034) as zoned A‑1 in the Town of Bishop/countryside character area and presented a concept master plan and architectural images. Staff recommended conditional approval with several site and access conditions.

Staff’s recommended conditions included that the owner make required right‑of‑way improvements and dedicate rights‑of‑way at the owner’s expense as required by GDOT (Georgia Department of Transportation) or the Town of Bishop after review of development plans; that a study identified in the record as “section 17 o 7 dot 3” be completed and submitted for review to planning and public works prior to application for a site development plan; and that road improvements be made to bring adjacent roads and access drives to a level‑of‑service C prior to application for a site development plan. Staff also noted that, unless a concurrent variance is granted, the site shall not have access to Cemetery Road; if the variance is approved the owner must record an amended administrative plat to remove the nonaccess easement.

Consultant Justin Greer, working with the applicant, described a long‑range master plan showing a phased campus that could include a hall for services and fellowship, a church building, a small academy (initially 5–10 students as a cooperative), catechesis/sunday‑school spaces, rectory housing, gardens and a maintenance building. Greer said the applicant intends to phase work and likely build a fellowship/hall building first, with the church and other elements later. He said soils testing and septic planning have been part of the master plan exercise, that primary access is expected at an existing road near a Dollar General and that a future access onto Highway 186 is a later‑stage possibility pending approvals.

Commissioners asked about parking, traffic counts and timing. Staff and the consultant said a traffic study would be required but had been deferred to site development plans because summer school attendance would have affected traffic counts. Greer estimated congregation size in prior meeting locations as “between 1 and 200” attendees and said campus build‑out and peak uses likely would not overlap with peak school traffic. After discussion the commission voted to recommend approval with the staff conditions and to forward the matter to the Board of Commissioners; the vote was recorded by voice/hand and no roll‑call tally appears in the transcript.","The planning commission recommended approval of a conditional use to allow a community‑scale church campus on a parcel in the town of Bishop, subject to right‑of‑way improvements, completion of a study under section 17 o 7 dot 3 and road improvements to achieve a level‑of‑service C before site development plan approval.

Staff recommended conditional approval with the department’s standard conditions and provided the recorded plat, concept plan and architectural images in the application packet.

Applicant representative Justin Greer said the proposal is to create four lots, two of which front on Atlanta Highway, and that the developer intends to build smaller, speculative single‑family houses. “I think my understanding is he wants to do some smaller housing just because of where it's located…anywhere from 1,600 to 2,000 square feet,” Greer said. Greer added that soil testing informed the lot layout and that lot sizes average a little over 1.5 acres with one larger lot because of poor soils.

No members of the public signed up to speak in favor or opposition. The commission moved to approve the rezoning with the staff’s standard conditions and forwarded the recommendation to the Oconee County Board of Commissioners; the meeting record shows the commission approved by voice/hand vote, with no roll‑call tally read into the record.

Materials in the application packet included the recorded plat and the concept plan showing four proposed lots. The rezone would align this parcel’s zoning with smaller R‑1 lots across the road, as noted in staff and applicant remarks. The Board of Commissioners will make the final decision at a later date.","The planning commission recommended approval of a rezoning on a 7‑acre parcel to R‑1 (single‑family) to allow four residential lots; the applicant said homes are expected to be smaller, spec houses of about 1,600–2,000 square feet. The recommendation will go to the Board of Commissioners.","actionData","errors"]
