Pickens County approves downzone to let Sherry Taylor combine a Highway 136 parcel with adjacent residential lot
Summary
Commissioners approved a request by Sherry Taylor to rezone a 1.75-acre Highway 136 parcel from Highway Business to Rural Residential so it can be combined with an adjacent residential lot; staff recommended approval as consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Sherry Taylor asked the board to rezone a 1.75-acre parcel on Highway 136 from Highway Business to Rural Residential so she can combine that tract with an adjacent 2.9-acre residential property. Staff told the board the site is not being used for commercial purposes and that the requested downzone aligns with the comprehensive-plan designation of the area as rural residential and low-density.
Taylor said the effort to combine the two parcels had been ongoing for nearly two years and that she has owned the primary parcel for 18 years. Staff recommended approval, noting the downzone would still follow the normal three-step process (planning commission review then board of commissioners). The board received a motion and a second and voted to approve the rezoning.
What happens next: The combined property will follow the county's procedural steps for downzones and any future development will require compliance with applicable subdivision and zoning processes.
