Coffee County commissioners approve rezoning to agricultural for 63‑acre parcel
Summary
The Coffee County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution No. 2026‑980, approving case ZC‑2026‑01 to change about 63.05 acres from I‑1 (industrial) to AG (agricultural) after a planning board recommendation; the vote was 5‑0 and the 30‑day appeal period begins upon publication (after July 2).
The Coffee County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously to approve a zoning change that reclassifies roughly 63.05 acres from industrial (I‑1) to agricultural (AG).
Planning and Zoning Director Heidi Harris told the board the planning board reviewed the application and recommended approval with standard environmental health conditions, including compliance with the Coffee County sanitation code. Harris summarized the planning packet and maps and said the planning board’s motion included the environmental health recommendations.
No protest petitions were filed and no members of the public rose to offer testimony at the county’s public hearing. The applicant provided a brief history of the property, telling the board the parcel originally included a residence and outbuildings and that the acreage was added back to better reflect residential land use instead of industrial zoning.
Commissioners voted 5‑0 to adopt the findings and factors recommended by the planning board and to approve Resolution No. 2026‑980. Chair (Mark Peterson) read the notice that persons aggrieved by the governing body’s final decision have 30 days from publication of the effectuating resolution to appeal to district court; staff noted the applicable publication window begins after July 2.
The county clerk will publish the resolution and staff will file required notices. No appeals were filed during the meeting.
Next steps: the zoning change becomes effective following publication and the statutory appeal window.
