Commissioners place 42.5-acre Dalton Pike annexation, Water Level Highway rezoning on upcoming agendas
Summary
Commissioner Rogers said owners requested a two-phase annexation of about 42.5 acres on Dalton Pike and introduced a rezoning request for a parcel on Water Level Highway; both items were placed on upcoming commission agendas for further review and public input.
Commissioner Rogers told the Bradley County Commission that owners of approximately 42.5 acres on Dalton Pike have filed a two-phase annexation petition and that planning documents — a plan of services, an interlocal agreement and materials related to county resolution 2021-53 — are in the commission packet. He placed a resolution on the June 8, 2026 work-session agenda for discussion and public input.
Rogers said the annexation petition affects parcels with portions both inside and outside the urban growth boundary and reminded the commission of a county rule requiring property owners to post a sign at each public road bordering the property within two business days of petition filing; he specified the sign size called for in county policy as two feet by 1.5 feet.
Separately, Rogers introduced an agenda item to rezone property identified as Tax Map 059, Parcel 043.00 at Water Level Highway from FAR (Forestry Agricultural Residential) to C-2 (General Commercial). He said the parcel is currently vacant and that the agenda packet listed potential uses including churches and hotels. He said that rezoning will be placed on the next voting session agenda.
Why it matters: Annexation and rezoning can change land-use rules, tax jurisdictions and public services for owners and neighbors. Rogers indicated the annexation will receive formal public input at consecutive work sessions per county policy.
What happens next: Rogers placed the annexation resolution on the June 8 work-session agenda and the rezoning item on the next voting session. The meeting record shows no vote or final decision during this session.
Record notes: The resolution number cited for interlocal annexation policy was referenced in the remarks as "county resolution 2021-53"; the commission packet was noted as containing the detailed plan of services and interlocal agreement but those documents were not read into the record during the meeting.
