Commission backs rezoning at 4298 Cronin Drive to allow second dwelling
Summary
The commission recommended approval to rezone a 5.45‑acre Cronin Drive parcel from Rural Residential (R5) to General Agriculture (GA) so the owner could add a second single‑family dwelling; staff said low frontage made R5 subdivision impossible under current rules.
The Whitfield County Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning at 4298 Cronin Drive, changing a 5.45‑acre parcel from Rural Residential (R5) to General Agriculture (GA). Staff said the change would allow an additional single‑family dwelling on the tract where R5’s frontage and lot‑size rules otherwise preclude subdivision.
Ethan Calhoun described the property and told commissioners that the subject parcel has limited road frontage, making R5 subdivision impossible under the county’s ordinance. The GA district, Calhoun said, is adjacent to the parcel and would permit the owner’s stated objective of adding a second dwelling while keeping the area’s residential character.
Petitioner Nick Connor told the commission he had resurveyed the property and that neighbors had expressed support. No opposition speakers were recorded and the planning staff recommended approval.
The commission voted to approve the rezoning recommendation. The recommendation will be forwarded to elected officials for final action.
