The Coffee County commission approved a request to rezone 3 acres at 11498 Bowens Mill Road from Agriculture to Warehouse Light Industrial. No public comment was offered; Commissioner O'Steen disclosed prior use of the property and abstained from the vote.
The Coffee County Board of Commissioners voted to rezone 3 acres at 11498 Bowens Mill Road from Agriculture to Warehouse Light Industrial during its regular meeting on Jan. 3, 2022.
Code Enforcement Director Jason Whiddon presented the application filed by Ms. Linda Day and the commission opened a public hearing; no members of the public spoke. Commissioner Johnny Wayne Jowers moved to approve the rezoning; Commissioner Paulk seconded the motion.
Commissioner Jimmy Kitchens stated he approved the request. Commissioner Ted O'Steen disclosed that "he does not have a direct financial interest, however he has used this property for Agriculture and other issues, therefore he needs to abstain from voting on this issue due to a conflict of interest," and abstained. The transcript records three named votes in favor (Jowers, Paulk and Kitchens) and one abstention. The transcript does not record the chairman's vote. The rezoning motion carried based on the recorded votes.
The board closed the public hearing and did not receive oral public comment on the matter at the meeting. Next steps for the rezoning (e.g., administrative filings, effective date) were not specified on the record.
