Board OKs rezoning of 5.3 acres at 1156 Woodlawn Road for family conveyance
Summary
The Board approved rezoning 5.3 acres of a 17.12-acre parcel at 1156 Woodlawn Road from agricultural to rural estate to allow conveyance to a family member; motion passed 5-0.
The Newton County Board of Commissioners voted 5-0 on March 4 to rezone 5.3 acres of a 17.12-acre parcel at 1156 Woodlawn Road from agricultural to rural estate to permit conveyance to a family member.
Planning staff told the board the request (REZ2046) is consistent with the previously approved future land-use map amendment to rural residential, is compatible with surrounding low-density rural residential properties, and that the remaining acreage will meet agricultural zoning minimums. The staff recommended approval with conditions including submission of a minor plat and required reviews by development services, public works, fire services, Newton County Water and Sewer Authority, Georgia Soil and Water Conservation and GDOT as applicable.
Applicant Tucker Marks told the board he and his family intend to purchase the land to build in the future and to remain near extended family. The public hearing closed with no speakers in opposition.
Commissioner Stan Edwards moved to approve the rezoning; Commissioner Hazel Long seconded the motion. The board voted 5-0 to approve the rezoning with the recommended conditions.
