Board approves conditional use permit for church rebuild on Flint River Road
Summary
The board approved a conditional-use permit May 19 for an existing church at 10 Flint River Road in Jonesboro to rebuild after a fire; approval included conditions such as lot consolidation and a decorative fence around new parking.
The Clayton County Board granted a conditional‑use permit May 19 to allow the Pentecostal Church of Christ to rebuild and expand at 10 Flint River Road in Jonesboro (BOC‑2508‑0549).
Planning staff presented the application and site plans showing a 4.71‑acre parcel (Parcel 0524BA001). Staff and the zoning advisory group recommended approval with conditions: the lots must be combined before a land‑disturbance permit is issued, and a decorative fence must be provided around the new parking area. Staff presented aerials and site plans, and the applicant team said the church — in the community for more than 100 years — lost its prior building to fire and seeks to restore community programming.
Josue Cortez spoke for the applicant and recounted the fire, community uses and plans to work with a general contractor experienced in building houses of worship; supporters told the board the rebuilt church will provide youth counseling and other community services. Commissioner Allen moved to approve the CUP with the staff‑recommended conditions; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The approval is conditional on meeting the administrative requirements listed by staff (lot consolidation and parking/fence conditions) before site permitting. The transcript records the motion and passing by voice vote; a numeric roll‑call was not provided in the public record excerpt.
