Robins planning commissioners set Sept. 10 public hearing on Future Land Use Map and code updates
Summary
The Robins Planning and Zoning Commission voted Aug. 13 to schedule a Sept. 10 public hearing on proposed updates to the Future Land Use Map, zoning map and Chapters 165 and 166 of the Robins Code of Ordinances, and recorded edits including adding a C‑1 zoning designation to section 165.15.
Chairperson Timothy M. O’Hara called the Robins Planning and Zoning Commission to order at 5:30 p.m. Aug. 13 at Robins City Hall and the commission proceeded with routine approvals before moving to land‑use business.
The commission voted to set a public hearing for Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2025, to hear questions and concerns about proposed updates to the city’s Future Land Use Map, the Zoning Map and Chapters 165 and 166 of the Robins Code of Ordinances. Commission member Todd Roberts made the motion and C.J. McDonald seconded; upon roll call, the motion carried with all votes recorded as aye.
Why it matters: the updates under review would affect the city’s land‑use designations and include re‑zoning of selected commercial and industrial properties within Robins, changes that could alter development patterns and permitted uses in those areas.
At the start of the meeting commissioners approved the agenda and the minutes of July 9 and July 30, 2025. Commission member Dennis Trachta pointed out a typographical error in the July 30 minutes that had recorded him as making both a motion and a second to adjourn; that error was corrected before the minutes were adopted.
Planning and Zoning Administrator Vance McKinnon reviewed the timeline for the ordinance and map updates. The minutes record several edits suggested during discussion of Chapters 165 and 166; commission member Matt Mitzel’s recommendations were recorded, including the explicit inclusion of the C‑1 zoning designation in section 165.15 of the Robins Code of Ordinances.
The commission took no final legislative action on the chapters or rezoning at the meeting; instead it scheduled the public hearing so residents and other interested parties may comment. The meeting adjourned at 6:38 p.m. after a motion by C.J. McDonald and a second from Matt Mitzel, with all votes recorded as aye.
The commission will consider public comment and continue deliberations on the proposed map and ordinance changes at the Sept. 10 meeting.
