Commission approves home-based gunsmith conditional-use permit with safety conditions
Summary
The board approved a conditional-use permit for a home-based gunsmithing business at 2384 Mount Olivet Church Road, with no on-site firing, appointment-only operations and ATF and zoning checks required before operations begin.
Liberty County commissioners voted to approve a conditional-use permit allowing a Type B home occupation gunsmithing business at a residential property on Mount Olivet Church Road. Planning staff described the proposal as indoor, appointment-only hand assembly with no retail storefront or exterior signage, no live-fire testing on the property and no exterior storage of firearms; the planning commission recommended approval with standard conditions.
Applicant Zachary Izzido told the board his business "will operate in full compliance with state and local regulations. All firearms will be securely stored. Access will be strictly controlled. Safety is my top priority for the community." Commissioners asked about ammo storage and whether federal ATF approval and inspection would follow a local permit; staff and the applicant confirmed ATF inspection and licensing remain a separate federal step. A motion to approve the conditional-use permit passed on a show-of-hands vote.
