Summary

The Stephens County Board of Commissioners approved a conditional use permit allowing Kelsey Mays to operate a cottage-food micro-bakery from her Rock Creek Road property after a planning commission recommendation and public hearing.

The board approved a conditional use permit permitting Kelsey Mays to operate a home-based micro-bakery at 5092 Rock Creek Road in Stephens County. The property, currently zoned agricultural intensive, received a recommendation to approve from the planning commission and the applicant described compliance with cottage-food licensing requirements.

Applicant Kelsey Mays (S6) told the board, “My husband and I are basically just wanting to open kind of like a micro bakery, selling sourdough bread and sourdough cookies and muffins, that kind of thing.” Commissioners moved and seconded the conditional-use approval and passed the motion by voice vote. The clerk recorded the permit to allow a home-based food operation under local conditional-use rules.
