Commission approves rezoning request for parcel at 621 Old M Road to allow parcel combination

Stephens County Planning Commission · March 4, 2025

Summary

Commission recommended approval of a rezoning from residential single to agricultural residential for a 2.9-acre property so it can be combined with an adjacent parcel for tax and parcel consolidation. Staff said adjacent parcels are already agricultural residential and recommended approval.

The Stephens County Planning Commission voted to recommend that the Board of Commissioners approve a rezoning for property at 621 Old M Road (parcels 03381 and 033075) from residential single to agricultural residential to permit parcel combination.

Staff explained the property is 2.9 acres and one of the parcels is zoned AR while the other is RS; staff recommended rezoning so the pair can be combined for tax purposes and to align zoning with adjacent AR parcels. A person at the podium said they purchased the property a couple of years ago and did not realize the zoning inconsistency, and staff reiterated their recommendation: "staff does believe that this is an appropriate rezoning." The Commission moved, seconded, and approved the recommendation to forward the item to the Board of Commissioners on March 25 for final action.

No opponents spoke during the public hearing. The Commission's approval at the Planning level does not itself change zoning; the Board of Commissioners will make the final decision at its March 25 meeting.
