Planning commission approves larger senior‑living footprint with conditions

At its Sept. 15 meeting, the Oconee County Planning Commission recommended approval of a rezoning amendment for the Landings of Bogart LLC to allow a total building square footage cap of 138,422 on the property. The commission forwarded the decision to the Oconee County Board of Commissioners for final action.
The planning department presented rezone case P250153 and recommended conditional approval. Staff’s conditions include requiring that all parcels be held in common ownership by a single entity (Landing Senior Living LLC), amending the condominium plat and declaration to treat the property as a single, comprehensive senior living community with the sale of individual units prohibited, and recording a recombination plat to abandon existing condominium lines and merge parcels into a single tax parcel. Staff also recommended the explicit limit that total building square footage on the property shall not exceed 138,422.
Justin Greer of Pittman and Greer Engineering, representing the applicant, described the requested change as a modification of earlier approvals. He said the project’s room count will remain the same as under the 2017 zoning and the 2021 modification: “The room count will not change from that 2017 zoning. It stays at 96 beds overall,” Greer said. Greer explained the expanded footprint reflects connecting two previously separate buildings to create more communal space rather than adding resident capacity.
No members of the public signed up to speak in favor or opposition, and the commission moved to approve the request with staff conditions. The meeting record shows the planning commission’s vote by voice/hand; no roll‑call tally was read into the record.
The commission’s recommendation does not enact the change; the Board of Commissioners will consider the rezoning request and staff conditions at a future meeting. Materials presented included a concept plan, architectural images of the existing adjacent building, and the prior zoning history noted in the record (initial zoning in 2017 and a modification in 2021).
