Summary
The board approved multiple planning commission rezoning recommendations across Whitfield County, including a special-use permit for a 60.72-acre event center; one rezoning request (Morgan Robinson) was denied. All approvals recorded as unanimous where noted.
The Whitfield County Board of Commissioners on Oct. 13 approved a slate of rezoning requests recommended by the county planning commission, and denied one request.
Commissioner Barry W. Robbins moved and Commissioner John Thomas seconded approval of multiple recommendations. Approved rezoning requests included Janet Adams (General Agriculture to Estate Residential, 1.42 acres at 2835 Crow Valley Road, Tunnel Hill); Shazam Ali (Medium Density Single Family Residential to General Commercial, 10.66 acres on Antioch Drive, Dalton, parcel 12-316-01-004); Daniel Blair (R-2 to GA, 6.72 acres at 777 Nelson Kile Road); Jerry Crow (R-2 to GA, 5.00 acres at 1634 Rollins Ketchum Road); Don Howe (GA to GA Conditional, special-use permit for an event center on 60.72 acres on NW Crow Valley Road); Deborah Kirk and Tony and Daina Silvers (M-2 to R-5, 25.69 acres at multiple Peek and Cavender Road parcels); Larry Moss (R-2 to Suburban Agriculture, 9.69 acres on Prospect Road, Cohutta); and Cody Spence (M-2 to R-5, 0.41 acres at 228 Wagner Drive, Dalton). The minutes record each approval as carried by the board, typically on motions by Commissioner Robbins and seconded by Commissioner Thomas.
The board also voted to DENY the rezoning request from Morgan Robinson (R-2 to R-5) for 1.39 acres at 3135 Old Crider Road in Rocky Face; that motion passed 3-0.
Separately, the board registered no land-use classification objections to annexations proposed by the City of Tunnel Hill (parcels 12-001-26-000 & 12-003-18-000) and the City of Varnell (parcels 11-192-02-020 & 11-245-01-006). Minutes list parcel numbers and locations for each rezoning and annexation.
Most rezoning motions were approved unanimously among the commissioners present; the minutes do not record extended debate in the public record for these items. The planning commission's recommendations and parcel details will be included in the formal zoning files.
