May 2025 Zoning Agenda

Variance & Conditional Use Requests
On these requests, the zoning board’s decision is final. Variance and conditional use requests are only considered by the board of commissioners if the ZAB’s decision is appealed.

- Conditional Use Permit – Remigius Idaewor of Ellenwood, GA, requests a conditional use for property located at 585 Scarborough Road. The property consists of 0.573 +/- acres. The request is for a non-home occupation personal care home.
Because of the small nature of these requests, The Henry Reporter does not generally report on them. They are included here because they are on the zoning board agenda.
