The Spalding County Planning Commission on Nov. 25 approved a request to extend the preliminary plat for Stonebriar phases 3 and 4, allowing the developer more time before obtaining land‑disturbance permits.

Planning staff explained the application’s history: an extension was approved in November 2020 and later expired; the county code allows two extensions and staff recommended this be treated as the applicants’ second and final extension. "This would be their second and final extension of the preliminary plat," Mr. Allen said during his introduction of the item.

Commissioners asked whether prior zoning conditions, lot yields and entrance alignments would still apply after the extension. Staff and presenters said the previously approved standards and zoning conditions remain in effect and recommended that the motion specifically include those conditions.

A commissioner moved to approve the extension with the previously stated conditions; the motion carried with no opposition. The approval preserves the earlier lot yield authorized by the rezoning and allows the developer to proceed toward future permitting under the same standards.
