The Upson County Board of Commissioners continued consideration of REZ2024-06 after the applicant, Kevin Brown, and his son were not present for the hearing.

Planning staff explained the background: the property owner previously subdivided parts of the parcel into 12-acre lots under AR zoning and is now seeking rezoning of approximately 30 acres in a northwest portion of the property to R-1 to permit five-acre lots and require homes of at least 2,200 square feet. Planning staff said conditions of approval could address some commissioner concerns about future subdivisions.

Given the applicant’s absence, Chair moved to continue the matter; the board discussed potential continuance windows with references to 90 days and a shorter three-week interval before agreeing to continue and allow the applicant to appear and provide testimony. The continuance preserves the applicant’s ability to proceed through the planning department review process once he appears.

No final rezoning vote occurred; the item will return to the board for further consideration when the applicant is present and planning staff completes any necessary reviews.
