Pickens County commissioners approve multiple rezones, including parcel for new pizza shop
Summary
The board approved three rezoning requests after planning commission recommendations, including a 1.5‑acre tract rezoned to highway business for a proposed pizza shop; planning commission had recommended approval 7–0 for each item.
Pickens County commissioners voted to approve three rezoning requests that had been recommended for approval by the county planning commission.
The board considered the following items, each of which had a prior public hearing and a unanimous 7–0 recommendation from the Pickens County Planning Commission:
- RZ190987: An application for Mary Jo Dillard to change land use from agriculture to rural residential for a 3.6076‑acre tract on Highway 53 West (tax parcel 031113001). The stated purpose is to create an additional buildable lot.
- RZ190988: An application submitted on behalf of Blue Green Fish LLC (transcript label: Blueberry/Blue Green Fish LLC) to change land use from agriculture to rural residential for a 1.72‑acre tract of a larger parcel at 253 Happy Trail Way (tax parcel 0448002). The planning commission had recommended approval 7–0.
- RZ190989: An application from Adalberto Ramos on behalf of Olivia Catherine Pizzell Ramos to change land use from rural residential to highway business for a 1.5‑acre tract of a 7.87‑acre parcel on Highway 53 East (tax parcel 050028); the stated purpose is to build a small pizza shop. The planning commission recommended approval 7–0.
Commissioners moved each item forward by motion and voice vote; the meeting record notes unanimous vocal assent for the motions but does not include roll‑call vote tallies. Meeting discussion did not record substantive debate, conditions or stipulations attached to approval in the board's action; staff reports and the planning commission record were cited as the basis for the board’s vote.
Implementation steps such as permitting, site plan review, building permits, driveway access approvals, and any county department conditions were not detailed in the board discussion and remain subject to the county’s standard permitting and development review processes.
