Board approves multiple rezones and a downzone with conditions
Summary
At its August meeting, the Pickens County Board approved several rezoning requests — including a 13.32-acre commercial rezoning with landscaping/lighting conditions and a 6.12-acre downzone to agricultural that must be combined with adjoining property — along with two residential rezones for lot creation.
The board approved several land-use applications: RZ191163 (13.32 acres to highway business) with conditions tied to landscaping, screening and downward-facing lighting if developed for gas station or storage uses; RZ191179 (8.1 acres to rural residential) and RZ191180 (10 acres to rural residential) to create buildable lots following planning-commission recommendations; and BDZ-191196, a 6.12-acre downzone to agricultural with a condition that the parcel be combined with neighboring agricultural property.
Planning staff presented the BDZ case and recommended approval under Pickens County Code section 67-691. Commissioners discussed conditions during motions and approved the items by voice vote. For the commercial rezoning, the motion included plantings and lighting standards intended to reduce neighborhood impacts should commercial development proceed.
