Commission unanimously backs rezoning for four-lot rural residential subdivision on Highway 53 East
Summary
Planning staff recommended and the commission approved rezoning of an 8.1-acre parcel on Highway 53 East (Parcel 049040002) from agricultural to rural residential to allow four low-density lots for manufactured or stick-built homes.
Planning staff recommended approval of RZ191179, a request to rezone an 8.1-acre tract on Highway 53 East from agricultural to rural residential to allow creation of four approximately two-acre lots.
Charles, planning staff, said the proposed rezoning (Parcel 049040002) is consistent with the Crossroads Community/Marble Hill character area and would maintain a low-density transition from agricultural land to rural residential development. "Because the proposal provides additional housing opportunities while maintaining the rural character and quality of life," Charles said, staff recommends approval.
Jeff Barrett, representing Landmark Property Services LLC and Pinnacle, described the company's experience developing affordable housing in North Georgia and said county water and DOT driveway discussions already are in progress. Barrett said the firm seeks both manufactured-home and stick-built solutions to meet local housing demand.
A motion to approve the staff recommendation was made, seconded and carried unanimously. The planning commission closed the hearing and forwarded the recommendation to the Pickens County Board of Commissioners for final action.
Next steps: The Board of Commissioners will consider the planning commission recommendation at a future meeting.
