Panel recommends rezoning to allow two 3‑acre lots at site with winery on parent parcel
Summary
The planning commission recommended approval of RZ190716 to rezone a 6‑acre portion of a 36.61‑acre parcel at 119 Inland Drive (Parcel 002001007) from agricultural to rural residential, allowing two 3‑acre lots; applicant said proceeds will fund winery parking and erosion improvements.
Pickens County planning staff recommended — and the planning commission voted to forward a recommendation to the county commissioners to approve — RZ190716, a request to rezone a 6‑acre portion of a 36.61‑acre parcel at 119 Inland Drive (Parcel 002001007) from agricultural to rural residential so the 6 acres can be split into two 3‑acre lots for resale.
Staff said the site is in the rural residential character area and recommended approval. The staff summary noted a winery currently occupies part of the parent parcel and that the split would create two 3‑acre parcels.
Applicant remarks: The applicant representing the winery said proceeds from the split would be used to improve parking, pour concrete walkways to prevent erosion and install irrigation to support vineyard expansion. "This will be our first year for a harvest," the applicant said, adding the winery plans to expand vineyards by roughly a half acre next spring and to invest in site infrastructure.
Board action: After brief clarifying questions about lot layout and vineyard plans, a commissioner moved to accept the staff recommendation; the motion carried and the planning commission forwarded its approval recommendation to the county commissioners for final action.
Next steps: The county commissioners will consider the planning commission's recommendation. The transcript records the planning panel's vote but does not record a final action by the county commission or a numeric roll-call tally.
