Planning board backs 6.13-acre subdivision rezoning on Bethany Road to allow AR‑2 lots
Summary
Haralson County Planning Board recommended approval of a rezoning request to change 6.13 acres on Bethany Road from AR‑1 to AR‑2 so the owner can subdivide the parcel into AR‑2 lots. Staff noted the request was driven by a desire to divide the property and that the future land‑use map shows agricultural‑residential designation; the board voted to
On April 8, 2025 the Haralson County Planning Board recommended that the Board of Commissioners approve a rezoning of 6.13 acres at 240 Bethany Road (Map 442, Parcel 15) from AR‑1 to AR‑2 to permit subdivision into smaller residential parcels.
Chelsea, Development Services planner, told the board that AR‑1 requires five acres or more and that because the applicant proposes to subdivide the parcel the zoning must change to AR‑2. Staff also confirmed Bethany Road is a county‑maintained road and the future‑land‑use map designates the site agricultural‑residential. Staff required as a condition that any plat be signed by Development Services and recorded before the zoning takes effect.
Applicant Jason Ron spoke in favor, saying the intent is to subdivide roughly 6 acres so his daughter can live on part of it while the family retains a portion around the existing house. No members of the public spoke in opposition during the record. Following a brief board discussion, a motion to recommend approval carried on voice vote.
The board recorded the recommendation for approval; the item will go to the Haralson County Board of Commissioners for the final decision at the May meeting.
