Athens commission approves rezoning to allow single-family home at 508 N. Prairieville
Summary
The Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved rezoning 508 N. Prairieville from commercial to single-family residential so the applicant can build a home; staff said one property-owner response was returned supporting the change.
The Athens Planning & Zoning Commission unanimously approved a rezoning request June 4 to allow a single-family house at 508 N. Prairieville St.
Development Coordinator Noemi Lopez told the commission the vacant property (Property ID: 233624) is currently zoned commercial; the applicant, Donald Greenlee, requested the change to build a single-family dwelling and staff mailed notifications to property owners within 200 feet, receiving one written approval. Chair Brian Schutt opened the public hearing; Greenlee described plans to build on the lot.
Member Jim Kerlin moved to approve the rezoning and Member Freddie Paul seconded. The motion carried with all commissioners voting in favor.
The approval changes zoning for Lots 3–5, Block 45 of the Athens Original Town (T. Parmer Survey, A‑782) to Single‑Family Residential‑5. No development plan or building permit details were discussed in the recorded proceedings; the transcript records only the rezoning request and unanimous approval. The commission did not record any conditions attached to the approval.
The commission also handled several other land-use items at the June 4 meeting, including recommendations on manufactured-home permits and a tabled request for a communications tower; the antenna item was tabled pending an updated site plan and noise mitigation details.
