Bulloch County Planning & Zoning Commission - September 16, 2025 5:30PM

The Bulloch County Planning & Zoning Commission met on September 16, 2025, to discuss several zoning and development-related matters. Key procurement-related discussions included a conditional use request for a 195-foot communications tower by Gregory Sykes, which was recommended for approval with conditions and will receive final determination by the county commissioners. Another significant agenda item was a rezoning application by Janet Laneir to convert 10.55 acres from R80 to R2 zoning for duplex housing development; after public opposition citing concerns about infrastructure strain and neighborhood character, the commission voted unanimously to recommend denial to the county commissioners. Additionally, two street light special tax district applications for new subdivisions, Arcadia at Lots Creek and Flatwoods subdivision, were reviewed and both recommended for approval. The commission also considered text amendments to the Bulloch County Code of Ordinances to clarify definitions and regulations related to microbreweries, accessory dwellings, home occupations, and trail development, with a unanimous recommendation for approval. Final decisions on these matters are scheduled for the county commissioners' meeting on October 7 and October 30, 2025.
