Commissioners approve rezoning of 35.20 acres; attorney says he will appeal over lack of public notice
Summary
The board approved Rezoning Z-020-005 for 35.20 acres after a motion that passed with one abstention; Attorney Paul Robertson said he represents Michael Hall and intends to appeal to the Superior Court, claiming the rezoning received no public notice.
The Long County Board of Commissioners voted to approve Rezoning Request Z-020-005 — a rezoning of 35.20 acres — during its Dec. 1, 2020 meeting, but an attorney said he will seek review in Superior Court, citing a lack of public notice.
Commissioner Mike Phillips moved to approve the rezoning; Chairman Robert Parker seconded the motion. Vice Chairman Clifton DeLoach abstained from the vote; the motion recorded as passing 4-0 with one abstention.
Attorney Paul Robertson, who said he represents Michael Hall, told the board during the public hearing that there had been "no public notice" for the rezoning and that he would appeal the board’s action to the Superior Court. The meeting record does not show a response to the threat of appeal or any amendment to the rezoning motion.
The Planning and Zoning Board had previously approved the rezoning before it reached the commission, according to the planning staff remarks in the hearing record. The transcript and minutes do not list conditions attached to the commission’s approval nor any schedule for implementation.
The board closed the public hearing and proceeded with regular session actions following the vote.
