Board approves conditional use to reestablish chicken houses on small agricultural parcel
Summary
Stephens County approved Grady Smith’s request to reestablish existing chicken houses on a small agricultural parcel as a legal nonconforming use; applicant said he will remodel within the existing footprint and work with growers to resume operations.
The Stephens County Board of Commissioners approved a conditional use permit allowing Grady Smith to reestablish chicken houses on his property zoned agricultural intensive. Staff said the structures are legal nonconforming uses that had been out of operation for more than a year and therefore require board approval to resume.
Grady Smith said he bought the property to reopen the chicken houses and has spoken with growers; he expects to remodel the existing footprint rather than expand. The Planning Commission recommended approval and the board carried the motion.
Provenance: topic introduced SEG 563 and concluded SEG 1012.
