Long County approves Doctors Creek Phase 1B final plat; grants narrow moratorium exception
Summary
The board approved the Doctors Creek Phase 1B final plat by a 4–1 vote and unanimously granted a one‑parcel exception to a rural‑residential rezoning moratorium to allow a family member to build a single residence (mobile homes included).
At its Feb. 4 meeting the Long County Board of Commissioners voted 4–1 to approve the Doctors Creek Phase 1B final plat. Commissioner John Reddish moved for approval with Commissioner Gerald Blocker seconding; Commissioner Jeremy Hall cast the lone dissenting vote.
Later in the meeting the board considered a moratorium on rezonings to RR (Rural Residential). Commissioner Reddish moved to allow an exception so a single parcel could be rezoned to a family member for construction of one single‑family residence; the motion included mobile homes as an allowable dwelling type. Commissioner Blocker seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: Approval of the Phase 1B final plat clears a developer step for subdivision construction and infrastructure; the moratorium exception creates a narrow pathway for a family rezoning despite a pending moratorium intended to pause broader rural‑residential rezonings.
The motion record lists the Doctors Creek approval as 4 in favor, 1 opposed; the moratorium exception was unanimous. The transcript does not include plat details (lot counts, infrastructure conditions or developer commitments), so those items are recorded as not specified in the minutes.
