The Henry County Board of Commissioners meet on Tuesday, May 21, at 6:30 pm. Meetings are held at the Henry County Administration Building located on Henry Parkway in McDonough.
Agenda items include six public hearings for planning & zoning items, to include four rezoning requests, one appeal for a conditional use permit, and one request to modify zoning conditions. The FY 2019-2020 annual operating budget is also scheduled to be adopted. The meeting agenda and all meeting exhibits are available to view on the county website.
Builders Professional Group, LLC of Jonesboro, GA requests a rezoning from RA (residential agricultural) to R-2 on sewer for 87.29 +/- acres located at 728 Elliott Road. The applicant is proposing 130 lots in a conservation subdivision. Conservation subdivisions allow lot sizes as small as 10,890 square feet (one quarter-acre), and in exchange, the developer preserves forty percent open space on the property.
The zoning advisory board recommended denial of the rezoning request and denied the applicant’s request for a conditional use permit to allow a conservation subdivision. The builder appealed the ZAB’s denial of the conditional use permit and the board of commissioners will now render a second decision on the request.
Willow Lane townhomes
The Reservoir Group of Watkinsville, GA requests a rezoning request from RA (residential agricultural) to RS (residential suburban) for 23 +/- acres located on Willow Lane north of Hopewell Place. The applicant is proposing one-hundred residential units to include fifty six townhomes and forty-four single-family residential lots.
The subject property is designated for high density residential development on the county’s future land use map supporting up to sixteen net units per acre. The project’s net density equates to 8.25 units per acre. Planning staff and the zoning advisory board recommended approval of the request.

The future land use map designates the area for medium density development, supporting up to six units per acre, and supports the proposed project. The subdivision has a proposed net density of 2.2 units per acre.
The zoning advisory board recommended the R-3 zoning district for the property, to match the existing subdivision located to the immediate south. The ZAB also recommended a condition for all homes to consist of three sided brick.
