Planning commission recommends de-annexation of 2209 Chattanooga Road back to Whitfield County
Summary
MCW, Inc. filed a 100%-method de-annexation for a small tract at 2209 Chattanooga Road; staff said the parcel is surrounded on three sides by unincorporated Whitfield County, would not create a county island and would not change zoning under the unified ordinance; the commission recommended approval.
The Dalton-Whitfield Planning Commission recommended approving a de-annexation request from MCW, Inc. to return a small parcel at 2209 Chattanooga Road from the city of Dalton to unincorporated Whitfield County.
Staff said the petition used the 100%-method and that, because the tract is bounded on three sides by unincorporated Whitfield County, the de-annexation would not create an island. Under the unified zoning ordinance, de-annexation would not by itself change the property's zoning. "We don't get many of these," Calhoun said, noting the request is uncommon.
MCW did not appear in person; staff recommended approval, no opposition was recorded, and the commission voted to recommend the de-annexation. The city will take final action on the boundary change.
