Commissioners approve Adair Estate rezoning with minimum house-size condition
Summary
Lowndes County approved REZ2025-12 (Adair Estate), converting a 1.5-acre nonconforming lot at 4146 Highway 122 to R‑1 zoning; approval included a condition requiring a minimum 2,200-square-foot house on the property.
County staff presented REZ2025-12 (Adair Estate), a request to change zoning on a 1.5-acre parcel at 4146 Highway 122 from agricultural to R‑1 to regularize a nonconforming lot recorded after the county’s 1987 five-acre minimum. Planning staff explained the parcel’s history, noted minor wetlands at the rear that do not affect proposed well-and-septic service, and said the Planning Commission and TRC recommended approval.
No members of the public spoke in opposition or support during the public hearing. A commissioner moved to approve the request with a condition specifying a 2,200-square-foot minimum dwelling; the motion was seconded and carried with no recorded opposition.
The approval brings the property into conformance with the Unified Land Development Code to permit a new single-family home under R‑1 standards. Staff noted the buyer plans to demolish existing accessory structures and replace the older mobile home with a 2,200‑square‑foot site-built house.
