The Henry County Zoning Advisory Board voted at its May 13 regular meeting to recommend approval of a rezoning request that would change a 2.5-acre site at 1430 Snapping Shoals Road from commercial to residential and allow it to be split into two lots. The property is surrounded by mostly residential property and currently has a vacant commercial store on it, according to county officials. Final approval on the rezoning rests with the Board of Commissioners.

In an unrelated agenda item, the ZAB approved a variance request for a 1.6-acre tract on Cotton Indian Creek Road to allow a reduction in the front yard setback from 75 to 50 feet due to topographical restraints.
