Pickens County approves multiple rezones and a kennel conditional‑use permit
Summary
The board approved several rezoning requests and a conditional‑use permit for a kennel with operating conditions; planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval in each case.
Pickens County commissioners approved a series of land‑use requests including a conditional‑use permit to operate a kennel and multiple rezonings to allow parcel splits and residential development.
Planning staff presented CU190748 for Jennifer Green (a kennel at 1828 Fort Mile Church Road) and recommended approval with conditions limiting appointments, daily clients and operating hours, requiring fencing and shade and shelter provisions for outdoor animals. The board approved the conditional use by motion and voice vote.
The board also approved several rezoning applications: RZ190749 (10 acres on Hawthorne Road to allow a future parcel split), RZ190750 (27.76 acres to permit subdivision into up to five parcels) and RZ190752 (5.9 acres to move from HACC to rural residential to enable sale of a portion). Staff and the planning commission recommended approval for each, and motions passed by voice votes.
One down‑zoning case from the public hearing, RZ190805 (Anthony/Antonine Gunther, moving 1.32 acres from rural residential to agriculture), was presented earlier in the meeting and approved following staff recommendation to eliminate a nonconforming status by combining parcels.
The approvals follow unanimous or near‑unanimous planning commission recommendations and include conditions cited by staff. No detailed vote tallies for individual commissioners were recorded in the meeting transcript.
