Planning Commission 8/24/2026

The Whitfield County Planning Commission held a meeting on August 24, 2026, to review four rezoning requests—three in the county and one in the city of Dalton. The requests involved changing zoning classifications primarily from general agriculture or rural residential to residential or commercial zones to accommodate property divisions, residential use, or redevelopment. Staff presentations recommended approval for all requests, noting minimal impact on the character of the areas. The commission heard from petitioners and public speakers, then unanimously approved all four rezoning requests. These decisions will be forwarded to the county board of commissioners and city council for final approval. No direct procurement, contracting, or budgetary matters were discussed during this meeting.
