Board adopts most zoning changes but tables data center rules for more study
Summary
After removing data centers from consideration, supervisors approved the remainder of a 20-page zoning amendment package to clarify group-home rules, add container homes, adjust accessory-structure sizes and allow certain apartment units in commercial zones.
The Henry County Board of Supervisors approved the bulk of a proposed zoning rewrite on July 28 but specifically excluded the data-center provisions for further review. The amendments retained include definitions and clarifications to the county's land‑use code: group-home definitions, allowing container homes in agricultural zones, raising accessory-structure size limits, defining limited retail stands, and allowing apartments by right in commercial zones.
Planning staff told the board the package was the product of planning-commission review and public hearings; those portions of the ordinance were advanced to provide clearer rules for housing, retail, and certain industrial uses. The board voted to adopt the remainder of the proposed ordinance after removing the data-center section.
