The zoning advisory board will consider a new Ola area request in March 2023. The 200+ acre property represents the latest new subdivision up for consideration in the immediate area. An update on this request is now available.
Two other requests are awaiting their meeting before the board of commissioners.
SR 81 north of Keys Ferry Road
Two-hundred ten acres located north of state route 81 forms the latest rezoning request in the Ola area. The property has road frontage along highway 81. It shares a rear property line with North Ola ball park.
Brent Holdings, LLC of Fayetteville, GA has applied to rezone the property from RA (residential agricultural) to R-2 (single-family subdivision). The R-2 zoning district allows minimum lot sizes of 22,000 square feet (one half-acre) when sewer service is available. The state requires lots at least 30,000 square feet when on septic tanks.
The zoning advisory board will consider the request on Thursday, March 16, starting at 6:30 pm. The board meets at the county admin building in McDonough. Additional details about the request, such as the number of lots, is not yet available.
Following the zoning board meeting, the applicant must present to the board of commissioners for a final zoning decision. Some applicants are presently waiting over a year for this to happen.
