Pickens County OKs three rezoning requests for properties in Jasper area
Summary
The Pickens County Board of Commissioners approved three staff‑recommended rezoning requests — RZ190811 (Rhonda Lane, 10.52 acres from AG to rural residential), RZ190815 (Bailey/Sean Bozeman, 6.09 acres to allow a 1.5‑acre split) and RZ190848 (David Walker Jr., ~16.84 acres from AG to small AG) — all with conditions requiring compliance with local codes.
The Pickens County Board of Commissioners approved three rezoning requests affecting properties in and near Jasper during its meeting. All three applications were presented by planning staff, recommended for approval with conditions to ensure future development meets local safety and land‑use codes, and then approved by motion and hand vote.
RZ190811 was described by staff as a request from Rhonda Lane for a 10.52‑acre parcel at 1303 Matthews Road (parcel #5,601,104) to be rezoned from AG to rural residential so a 4.26‑acre portion can be sold. Staff said the parcel is surrounded by rural residential and agricultural uses and recommended approval with the standard condition that any future development comply with applicable codes "to protect the health and welfare of surrounding residents." The board moved, seconded and approved the staff recommendation.
RZ190815 was presented as a request involving Bailey Bozeman (with property owner Sean Bozeman) for a 6.09‑acre parcel at 2414 Highway 53 East (parcel 043164). The intent noted in the record was to split roughly 1.5 acres for construction of a dwelling for Bailey; staff recommended approval with a condition that future development meet local safety and building codes. The board approved the request following a motion and second.
RZ190848 was presented for David Walker Jr. at 787 Watson Lake Road and involves two parcels (037077002 and 037077003) totaling about 16.84 acres. The application seeks rezoning from AG to small AG so the owner can combine parcels and add a single‑family dwelling. Staff recommended approval with a condition that future development comply with local codes; a motion to approve was seconded and passed.
The record shows motions were approved by show of hands; the transcript does not include roll‑call tallies by commissioner name. Each approval included the staff‑recommended condition that future development comply with local codes and that safety and access requirements be met as applicable. No members of the public spoke in opposition on the rezoning items recorded in the transcript.
