RZ-24-31 — Single-family residential subdivision in Henry County, GA
This rezoning request seeks to convert 143+ acres of agricultural land into a single-family residential subdivision with a split-zoning arrangement (seven lots remaining RA, approximately 62 lots rezoned to R-1). Staff recommends denial due to zoning integrity concerns, split-zone enforcement challenges, watershed protection conflicts (Tussahaw area), and inadequate infrastructure for the projected 19 additional school seats and septic system impacts in this rural area.
