Gordon County Commission approves rezoning to allow manufactured home on one-acre parcel in Callahan
Summary
The commission approved application Z-24-18 to rezone a one-acre parcel on Miller Ferry Road (tax parcel 036-020 b) from R‑1 to R‑6 to allow a manufactured home for applicant Dustin Welch; planning staff and the planning commission recommended approval.
Gordon County commissioners voted to approve application Z‑24‑18, rezoning a one‑acre parcel on Miller Ferry Road in Callahan from low‑density residential (R‑1) to manufactured housing (R‑6), allowing the placement of a mobile home adjacent to family property. Planning staff recommended approval and the planning commission voted 4–0 to support the change.
The item was introduced by county staff and the applicant, Dustin Welch, was present at the hearing. Planning staff described the tract as a one‑acre parcel previously zoned R‑1 and said the requested R‑6 designation would accommodate the applicant’s plan to place a manufactured home on the property. "He checks all the boxes," county staff said during their summary of the application.
A motion to approve Z‑24‑18 was made and seconded. Miss Barton called the roll for the hearing vote; Commissioners Stewart, Abernathy, Sullivan, Cunningham and Owen each voted yes, and the motion carried.
The rezoning was recorded as Gordon County tax parcel 036‑020 b at the Callahan address (ZIP 30701). The planning commission’s 4–0 recommendation and the planning staff report were cited by commissioners during their brief consideration.
Next steps: the change in zoning was approved at the meeting and will be reflected in county land‑use records. No appeal, conditions, or additional amendments were recorded in the meeting minutes.
