Commission recommends approval to rezone Holly Lane parcel to AR2 so two lots can be created
Summary
The commission recommended approval of a rezoning that will convert a 2.964‑acre nonconforming AR1 parcel on Holly Lane to AR2, allowing subdivision into two 1‑acre lots; staff recommended approval and the motion passed.
At the March 10 planning meeting, commissioners recommended approval of a request from Terresa Buroughs to rezone a 2.964‑acre parcel at 211 Holly Lane from AR1 to AR2. The parcel is a legal nonconforming lot under AR1; the owner sought AR2 to legally divide the parcel into two lots of approximately 1.29 and 1.67 acres so each mobile home could be on its own lot.
Staff told the commission the request is consistent with the comprehensive plan’s agricultural/residential designation and the development suburban node in that area, and that nearby zoning already includes AR2. The staff recommendation included the standard condition that any future subdivision comply with Effingham County subdivision regulations and state environmental health requirements for private well and septic systems.
After brief consideration, a commissioner moved to approve and the commission voted in favor; staff will forward the recommendation to the County Commission for final action.
What happens next: The recommendation will be included in the April 7 county commission packet; subdivision platting will require demonstration that septic and well arrangements meet DPH and county rules.
