Commissioners approve future land use amendment for 1042 Woodlawn Road to allow family conveyance lot
Summary
The board approved FLU26-000001, changing 14.75 acres at 1042 Woodlawn Road from Agricultural/Forestry to Rural Residential so the owner can rezone to AR and create a ~3.757-acre family conveyance lot; planning recommended approval 5–0 and petitioner Rhiannon Mangan spoke in support.
The Newton County Board of Commissioners voted to approve a future land use map amendment (FLU26-000001) for property at 1042 Woodlawn Road (Tax ID 0116-013F), changing it from Agricultural/Forestry (AF) to Rural Residential (RR). Planning staff said the change would allow the parcel to be rezoned to Agricultural Residential (AR) and enable a ~3.757-acre family conveyance lot.
Planning staff described the parcel’s characteristics, setbacks and road frontage and noted the planning commission recommended approval by a 5–0 vote on June 23. Rhiannon Mangan (S15), the petitioner, told the board she and her family intend to live on the property and keep the parcel’s rural character while building a separate house for her father on the newly subdivided lot.
No speakers registered opposition during the public hearing portion; the board moved to approve the FLU amendment and the motion passed by voice vote.
Next steps: If the petitioner files a rezoning application (to AR), conditions of zoning may be applied at that rezoning stage and staff will process any subsequent rezoning petition and minor plat filings.
