The Walton County Planning and Zoning Commission recommended approval of Case Z25-0373, a rezoning request to create a one-acre, single-family buildable lot at 5100 Kent Rock Road.

Chair Tim Kemp opened the item and identified the applicant as Hunter Morris and the property owner as Paschal Myers. Hunter Morris told the commission he was seeking rezoning of a portion of his family’s land to construct a single-family home and said the lot would not be used for subdivision or broader development.

No members of the public registered opposition during the hearing and no board members posed substantive questions. The commission moved to recommend approval as submitted; after a second, members voted in favor and the motion carried. The recommendation will be forwarded to the Walton County Board of Commissioners for final action on Feb. 3.

Procedural details: the commission considered the item under its standard rezoning review process and recorded a recommendation (no conditions were specified on the record). The transcript does not record the names of the motion maker or seconder for the recommendation; the meeting record indicates a unanimous voice vote in favor.
