CU-25-06 — Event facility (barn and greenhouse)
This conditional use permit approves an event venue on a 24.83-acre agricultural property in Hampton, allowing up to 5 limited community events per year with a maximum capacity of 200 people. The approval requires a 50-foot undisturbed buffer and preserves the rural character of the property through tree preservation and setback positioning over 500 feet from neighboring properties.
VR-25-05 — variance
A property owner seeks a variance to reduce the front yard setback from 75 feet to 60 feet in an RA zoning district to allow an attached garage addition. Staff recommends approval with conditions, and the motion to approve carried unanimously. This case affects development standards for residential properties in Henry County's RA district.
RZ-25-03 — townhome development
Professional Property Investments, LLC seeks to rezone 10 acres from RA (Residential Agricultural) to RM (Multifamily Residential) for a townhome development at 1916 Highway 155 S. This rezoning would enable a shift from agricultural use to medium-density multifamily housing in Henry County District V.
RZ-25-02 — Single family residential lots
Anthony Whitmore is seeking to rezone 7.04 acres on Noah's Ark Road from agricultural (RA) to single-family residential (R-2) zoning to develop residential lots. This rezoning would convert rural-zoned land in Henry County to residential use, potentially affecting surrounding agricultural properties and local infrastructure.
CU-25-01 — assisted living facility
LDF Development is seeking approval for an assisted living facility on 9.31 acres at 5490 Flakes Mill Road. This conditional use application may impact density, traffic patterns, and service demands in the Land Lot 220 area depending on facility size and operations.
RZ-25-04 — Horizontal multifamily apartment development (patio homes): 60 one-bedroom attached units, 91 two-bedroom detached units, 43 three-bedroom detached units (194 total units)
Minerva USA LLC seeks to rezone 22.287 acres from RA (Residential-Agricultural) and O-I (Office Institutional) to R-5 (Single-Family Residence) for development of 194 patio home rental units—a horizontal multifamily apartment community. Staff recommends approval with conditions including landscape buffers, gated entry, sidewalk construction, and amenities, though a deferral condition tied to Jonesboro Road widening progress may be added pending finalized language.
CU-25-05 — Expansion of existing church property; specifically use of existing structure at 4435 Highway 155 N. for a counseling center (mental health facility) and removal of structures on 4441 Highway 155 N.
This case permits expansion of an existing religious facility in RA-zoned land for a counseling center use, which requires conditional use approval under county code. The applicant must comply with Highway Overlay District requirements for any exterior changes or signage, and must meet ADA compliance standards for the commercial mental health facility use.
CU-25-02 — Religious facility (place of worship)
Applicant seeks a conditional use permit to operate a small religious facility (church) on a 4.216-acre residential-agricultural property. Staff recommends denial due to significant transportation concerns, including inadequate roadway infrastructure on Berry Road (a local road/cul-de-sac) that would require approximately 2,200 feet of widening and drainage relocation to serve a non-residential use, as well as sight distance issues at the site ingress/egress. Multiple neighbors oppose the request citing concerns about increased traffic, noise, safety hazards, and incompatibility with the residential character of the area.
CU-24-11 — Non-home occupation personal care home for seniors and disabled individuals
Applicant seeks conditional use approval to operate a non-home occupation personal care home for up to five or six seniors/disabled residents at a 1,538 sq ft, three-bedroom residential property currently zoned R-2. Staff recommends approval with conditions including a five-client limit until septic system improvements are made, though neighbors raise concerns about the property's suitability for senior care in a small residential structure.
CU-25-03 — place of worship
This case seeks a conditional use permit for a religious facility (place of worship) on approximately 10 acres in District IV zoning. The request has been postponed by staff, indicating it is not ready for consideration at this time.
VR-24-03 — Residential subdivision - Phase 3 of Gates at Pates Creek Subdivision with 217 lots at 3.32 dwelling units per acre net
Hybrass Properties seeks approval for Phase 3 of Gates at Pates Creek Subdivision, requesting variance relief from R-5 development standards to reduce minimum lot size and lot width to match existing phases approved in 2019, adding 217 residential lots to the existing 332-lot community. Staff recommends approval with 19 conditions including a 40% unit cap before 2028 and DRI compliance with road improvements as required by the notice of decision.
RZ-24-09 — Single-family residential subdivision
Hybrass Properties is requesting to rezone 108 acres from RA and R-3 to R-5 zoning to develop a single-family residential subdivision at 1061 Pates Creek Road. This rezoning would allow higher-density single-family residential development on the property. Developers should monitor this case if they have interest in residential development in this Henry County location.
RZ-25-01 — Single-family residential subdivision with 313 lots
This rezoning would convert 116.72 acres from agricultural to single-family residential, creating a 313-lot subdivision with a density of 3.93 dwelling units per acre adjacent to existing residential developments. The project raises significant concerns regarding traffic capacity, flooding/stormwater management, and overburdened school infrastructure in an already congested area near Jonesboro Road and McCullough Road.
RZ-24-29 — Single-family residential subdivision with 204 fee-simple lots, minimum lot size 10,890 square feet (average 12,000 square feet), homes ranging from 1,800-3,500 square feet, with approximately 38 acres of open space and amenities including a lake, pavilion, and playground
Templar Development Group requests rezoning of 108.49 acres from RA (residential agricultural) to R-5 (single-family residential) for a 204-lot subdivision with approximately 3.62 dwelling units per acre. The project would add an estimated 121 students to the Dutchtown School Cluster and introduce significant residential density to a Jonesboro Road corridor that is already experiencing congestion, with road widening improvements not scheduled until 2028-2029 (Phase 1).
RZ-24-31 — Single-family residential subdivision
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.
AM-25-01 — Amendment to Chapter 7, Section 7-02-04 of the Unified Land Development Code to allow residential properties both inside and outside of subdivisions to submit front-yard fence requests
This amendment would allow residential properties within subdivisions to request front-yard fencing approval, a change from the current code that only permits front-yard fences in RA-zoned districts and non-subdivision residential areas. The proposal was initiated after a property owner's fence in a subdivision was deemed non-compliant, and the applicant argues current code enforcement is inconsistent and potentially unconstitutional, while opponents contend front-yard fences would fragment neighborhood aesthetics and cohesion.
CU-25-04 — Vineyard with winery
Refinery Hill seeks a conditional use permit to operate an 18.8-acre vineyard with winery at 500 Pullin Road, currently zoned RA (Residential Agricultural). The property already meets all development and fire code standards; the conditional use permit would bring the existing winery into compliance with the county's Unified Land Development Code, which allows vineyards with wineries in RA districts with approval. Staff recommends approval, and the project is expected to generate community economic benefits and tourism activity.
VR-25-03 — Addition to existing home
Applicant Martha Niblett requests a variance to reduce the front-yard setback from 75 feet to 68.46 feet on her 1.99-acre RA-zoned residential property to add a room to her existing home. Staff recommends approval with conditions, and the request was unanimously approved by the Commission.
VR-25-02 — Addition to existing residence
Salvadore Giles seeks a variance to reduce front-yard setback requirements from 75 feet to 27.6 feet to add an addition to an existing 1966 residence in the RA zoning district. Staff recommends approval with conditions, which would allow the residential expansion to proceed without requiring the property owner to relocate the existing non-conforming structure. Neighboring properties raised concerns about road access and septic adequacy, but the variance is limited to setback relief only.
SU-26-02 — conservation subdivision
InLine Communities seeks a special use permit for a 181.791-acre conservation subdivision on property south of Wilson Drive. The proposed development will preserve portions of the land as conservation area while allowing for subdivision development. This case affects large-scale land use planning in District 3 of Henry County and may impact local infrastructure and environmental considerations.
RZ-26-05 — Single-family residential development
InLine Communities is seeking to rezone approximately 182 acres in Henry County's District 3 from mixed R-A and R-2 zoning to R-3 Single Family Residential. This rezoning request enables development of a single-family residential project on property currently designated for agricultural and lower-density residential use.
VR-26-04 — variance
Marcia Clark is seeking a variance for a 0.512-acre property at 25 Nix Drive to obtain relief from development standards in District 5. Developers should monitor this case if they have properties with similar development standard constraints in the area.
CU-26-02 — Wireless communications facility
TowerCom of Charleston is requesting a conditional use permit for a wireless communications facility on a 69.28-acre property in District 1. The case was postponed by the applicant and has not yet been heard. This approval would allow wireless tower infrastructure in the specified location.
03-2026 — 7,500 SF Neighborhood Commercial Retail Building and 810 SF Quick Service Coffee Kiosk
This is a rezoning request for a 2.17-acre property from RA (Residential Agricultural) to C-1 (Neighborhood Commercial) to develop a retail building with a drive-thru coffee kiosk on Highway 155 South. The property has existing water and sewer availability, and the development is subject to Towaliga River Watershed protection requirements.
05-2025 — Single-family conservation subdivision
This rezoning request seeks to change 22.02 acres from RA (Residential Agricultural) to R-3 (Single Family Residential) at 238 Elliott Road to enable a single-family conservation subdivision. The proposal is paired with a simultaneous special use request (SU-26-01) for the same property and location, suggesting a development that combines density restrictions with conservation features. Water and sewer capacity have been confirmed available by Henry County Water Authority as of February 2026, clearing utility infrastructure concerns.
24-2026 — Commercial Development
This rezoning request seeks to convert 19.83 acres from residential agricultural (RA) zoning to commercial (C-2) zoning for a 90,120 square foot commercial development at the Highway 81 East and Keys Ferry Road intersection. The project will provide 314 parking spaces and must comply with Tussahaw Creek Watershed Protection District requirements, with water service confirmed available by Henry County Water Authority.
22-2022 — rezoning
This is a rezoning request for approximately 245 acres at Highway 81 and Keys Ferry Road, where a portion currently zoned RA (Rural Agricultural) would be rezoned to R-1 (residential). The property is located in a FEMA flood hazard zone, which may affect development feasibility and infrastructure requirements for any future residential projects.
