**Body:** Rockdale 23
**Date:** October 21, 2026
**Jurisdiction:** SLED

Rockdale County Board of Commissioners Zoning Public Hearing, October 22, 2026: The board approved the agenda and the September 24 minutes, then heard two special-use-permit applications. For CUP 2026-05, staff recommended approval for Bread of Life Development Ministries to use an existing residence as a church parsonage and operate a childcare learning center in the church basement, subject to conditions including a 40-person maximum, removal of a shipping container, fire-code requirements, and limits on parking and commercial activity. The applicant requested clarification allowing the nonprofit’s existing commercial-kitchen programs to continue and noted that installing the required sprinkler system could cost about $50,000. Supporters spoke in favor; no opposition speakers were heard. For SUP 2026-06, staff and the Planning Commission recommended approval of Emma G. Tyler’s application for a home daycare serving up to six children, with conditions including compliance with state childcare rules and use of the driveway for parking.

The hearing’s stated procedure was that decisions would be made at the next regularly scheduled Board of Commissioners meeting; no final permit votes are recorded in the transcript. After formally adjourning, officials began an informal discussion about McCart Landing’s proposed third exit and the plat-approval process, but the transcript ends before that discussion is developed. No procurement activity, contract awards, purchasing decisions, or budget allocations were identified.
