Pine Mountain holds public hearing to rezone Parcel 184A from C-2 to R-3 while retaining conditional use
Summary
Town officials presented a proposal to rezone Map 056B Parcel 184A from C-2 with an existing conditional use to R-3 while keeping the conditional use; the plan would reduce minimum lot size, relax setback rules and raise allowable lot coverage. No members of the public spoke for or against at the hearing.
The Town of Pine Mountain held a public hearing on April 13, 2026, to consider rezoning Map 056B Parcel 184A from C-2 with a conditional use to R-3 while retaining the previously approved conditional use. The hearing opened at 7:00 p.m. in Town Hall and closed at 7:10 p.m., according to the hearing record.
Why it matters: The rezoning would change the property’s base zoning category from commercial (C-2) to residential (R-3) while keeping the conditional use that allows high-density single-family residences. If approved, the change would alter development standards that apply to the parcel and could affect the scale and layout of future housing there.
Town staff reported that Shiloh Investment Properties, LLC originally filed for a conditional use permit for the property on Jan. 30, 2025, under the C-2 zoning to allow high-density single-family residences; "Mayor and Council ultimately approved the conditional use," the hearing notice states. The Town told attendees that it obtained consent from the parcel’s current owner, Bee Smart Building, LLC, to pursue rezoning the parcel to R-3 while keeping that conditional use in place.
Key proposal features listed in the hearing record include: a reduced minimum lot area of 10,000 square feet (down from the standard 15,000 square feet); required setbacks of 20 feet in front, 15 feet on the side, 15 feet for a street-side yard, 25 feet in the rear and 20 feet for a corner lot; an increase in maximum lot coverage from 30% to 50%; a waiver of the requirement that each lot abut a public street for 50 feet for lots accessed by an easement or private way from a public street; and removal of prior minimum/maximum square-foot requirements for structures on these lots.
The hearing record lists no public speakers in favor or in opposition; the record explicitly states "Speaking in favor of the request: None" and "Speaking in opposition to the request: None." Town Clerk Betsy Sivell attested that the hearing ended at 7:10 p.m.
What happens next: The hearing provided a public record of the proposal and of the technical changes being sought in zoning standards. The notice did not specify a final decision at the April 13 hearing; the record does not show a vote or formal action taken during this meeting. Any subsequent decision by the Mayor and Council would be reflected in later minutes or a formal ordinance or resolution.
Details from the record: The rezoning notice and hearing record cite the involved parties as Shiloh Investment Properties, LLC (original applicant) and Bee Smart Building, LLC (current owner). The file reference in the notice is Map 056B Parcel 184A; the record includes the date the conditional-use application was filed (Jan. 30, 2025) and the hearing date (April 13, 2026). The record does not specify the date the Mayor and Council approved the earlier conditional use, nor does it list a vote tally or ordinance number for the rezoning in the April 13 hearing record.
The hearing took place at Pine Mountain Town Hall.
