06.2.2026 Stephens County Planning Commissioners live Stream

The Stephens County Board of Commissioners Planning Commission held a meeting on June 2, 2026, to review six land use items including variance and rezoning requests. Key procurement-related discussions involved a variance request for a residential setback at 610 Pheasant Mountain Road, which staff recommended denying due to lack of demonstrated hardship, though the applicant cited financial hardship related to increased construction costs. The commission ultimately voted to follow staff's recommendation. Several rezoning requests from agricultural intensive to agricultural residential or residential single were reviewed and approved, supporting rural character and low-density residential development. A conditional use permit was approved to allow a small private school to operate within an existing church property, with staff finding no adverse impact on surrounding properties. The meeting concluded with reminders for public participation in upcoming Board of Commissioners sessions, including a work session on a proposed data center ordinance. No direct contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting.
