Summary
After a brief public hearing, the Long County Board of Commissioners approved Rezoning Request Z-022-011 to rezone 5.043 acres at 2578 Cecil Nobles Highway to C2 for climate-controlled storage units by a 3-1 vote; Commissioner Jeremy Hall said he had received resident complaints about proximity to homes.
The Long County Board of Commissioners approved Rezoning Request Z-022-011 on Nov. 10, 2022, rezoning 5.043 acres at 2578 Cecil Nobles Highway from RR (Rural Residential) to C2 (General Commercial) to allow climate-controlled storage units.
At a public hearing that opened at 9:00 a.m., Chairman Robert Parker presented the rezoning item and noted the Long County/City of Ludowici Planning and Zoning Board had recommended approval. Commissioner Jeremy Hall said he had received several phone calls from residents who complained the proposed storage units would be too close to their homes. No other public comments were entered into the hearing record. Chairman Parker closed the hearing at 9:10 a.m.
During the subsequent board meeting, Commissioner John Reddish moved to approve the rezoning; Vice Chairman Gerald Blocker seconded. Commissioner Jeremy Hall voted no; the motion passed 3-1. Commissioner Baggs was absent. The motion and vote were recorded in the meeting minutes.
The action rezones the parcel to C2; the transcript does not record the developer’s name, project site plan details, or any conditions attached to the rezoning. The public record provided in the meeting minutes lists the property address and the applicant’s stated intent to build climate-controlled storage units at the site.
The minutes for this meeting were later adopted on Dec. 6, 2022, according to the meeting record.
