Roswell planners recommend rezoning of 300 Glen Drive for employee housing and RV park

The Roswell Planning and Zoning Commission on Feb. 3 voted to recommend that the City Council approve a zone change for 300 Glen Drive that would split about 9.37 acres into a 5‑acre manufactured‑home community and a roughly 4.37‑acre recreational vehicle park.

Planning staff told commissioners the parcel sits at the municipal edge and is surrounded by county land on three sides. Staff reported that, as of the meeting, the Planning and Zoning Division had received "0 written protests and 0 inquiries" about the zone change. The staff presentation noted water and power are available near Glen Drive and that sewer could be extended by gravity from the north.

Scott Hicks, the agent for the property owner and a representative of Smith Engineering, said the MHC half is intended as employee housing for crews working for the owner (identified in the presentation as "Constructors," which operates a nearby ready‑mix batch plant) and that the RV park could serve event visitors near the airport. Hicks said the development would be built to city ordinance standards and that utilities would be extended at the applicant’s expense.

Commissioners asked technical questions about whether RV and manufactured‑home zoning could be applied together and about permanence and maintenance. The commission voted to waive reading of the findings of fact, then moved to recommend approval of case ZOC‑26‑0008 to the council. Commissioner Holman made the motion and Commissioner Gilmore seconded; the motion carried on a voice vote.

Next steps: the commission’s recommendation will be transmitted to the City Council for its consideration. The commission record shows no on‑record public opposition at the Feb. 3 meeting.
