Summary
After public hearings with no public comment, the board unanimously approved rezoning 1.95 acres at 2607 Willacoochee Highway from R2 to C and 1.81 acres at 1677 Quincey Batten Loop from R2 to AG to permit commercial use and placement of one mobile home, respectively.
Coffee County’s Board of Commissioners unanimously approved two rezoning requests on June 3 after brief presentations from staff and no public comment.
Planner (staff) Jason Whiddon told commissioners that the Planning Commission met on April 18, 2024, and recommended approval of both requests and that staff supported the recommendations. The first request, from Steve Foskey, sought rezoning of 1.95 acres at 2607 Willacoochee Highway from R2 (Residential) to C (Commercial) to match surrounding parcels. The board opened a public hearing at 10:02 a.m.; there were no public comments. Commissioner AJ Dovers moved to approve the rezoning and the vote was unanimous.
The second request, from Warren Smith, sought rezoning of 1.81 acres at 1677 Quincey Batten Loop from R2 to AG (Agriculture) to allow placement of one mobile home for personal use. A public hearing opened at 10:05 a.m.; no one spoke. Vice Chairman Johnny Wayne Jowers moved to approve and the board unanimously approved the rezoning.
Both approvals followed the Planning Commission recommendation and staff review. The board asked for no further conditions and noted no conflicts of interest among members.
