Tift County staff propose allowing indoor shooting ranges in industrial zones; Planning Commission recommends approval
Summary
Community Development Services Director Chad Branch told the Board that a zoning text amendment would add 'indoor shooting range' as a permitted use in WLI and HI districts with supplemental standards; the Planning Commission recommended approval and the item will move to the Feb. 9 agenda.
Community Development Services Director Chad Branch told the Tift County Board of Commissioners at a Feb. 3 work session that a proposed zoning text amendment (TC-TA-26-01; Resolution No. 2026-04) would add “indoor shooting range” as a permissible use with supplemental standards in the WLI (Wholesale/Light Industrial) and HI (Heavy Industrial) districts.
The Planning Commission has reviewed the application and recommended approval, Branch said. He described the change as an update to the Unified Development Code to allow indoor ranges in specified industrial zoning categories pending adoption of the supplemental standards.
The board heard the presentation as part of scheduled public hearings at the work session; no vote was taken on Feb. 3. The item was listed among matters to be considered at the regular meeting on Feb. 9. No members of the public offered testimony on this specific amendment during the recorded work session.
Next steps: the proposal remains a public-hearing item for the Feb. 9 regular meeting when the commissioners may deliberate further or vote on the ordinance/resolution.
