Commission approves major S‑1 revision at Camper Club Road to remove buffers and reduce setbacks
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a major S‑1 zoning revision for a Camper Club Road property to reduce building setbacks from 20 feet to 0 and remove buffers, with a condition requiring foundation showing for future development.
The Columbia County Planning Commission recommended approval of a major revision to S‑1 zoning for a property off Camper Club Road that would reduce an established 20‑foot building setback to 0 feet and remove buffers on the lot, subject to a condition requiring documentation of foundation/footing locations for future development.
Planner Will explained the history of lake‑recreational lots rezoned in the 1980s and said many existing structures predate current setback requirements. He said staff had no objection to reducing the rear setback to 0 feet because many existing structures are already close to lot lines. Staff recommended approval with a condition that future building permits show the exact foundation/footing location relative to the lot line so county reviewers can assess compliance for preassembled structures.
The applicant (SD Johnson) did not offer additional remarks in the record. A motion to recommend approval with the stated condition carried on a recorded voice vote (transcript records motion carries 5‑0). The commission forwarded the recommendation to the Board of Commissioners.
