Zoning Board of Appeals (08/11/2026)

The Paulding County, Georgia Zoning Board of Appeals met on August 11, 2026, to consider a variance request related to setback requirements for an accessory building. The applicant sought to reduce the minimum required setback from 10 feet to approximately 1.9 feet due to existing septic lines and a pre-existing concrete pad on the property. After discussion about the impact on neighbors, zoning regulations, and the practicality of using the existing pad, the board negotiated a compromise to approve a variance reducing the setback to five feet on both the east and rear property lines instead of the originally requested lesser distances. The motion to approve the adjusted setback variance passed unanimously. No other procurement or budget matters were discussed during the meeting.
