Cherokee County subdivision plans approved

The Cherokee County Planning Commission signed off on plans for two residential developments.

Commissioners approved Gates Construction LLC’s request to rezone just over 20 acres within the general single-family residential category for a 33-lot subdivision, with a density of 1.65 units per acre. The property is on Owens Store Road near East Cherokee Drive.

A developer representative said the reclassification allowing a greater density would make for more uniform lots.

The commission also approved a variance allowing for reduction of a 30-foot undisturbed zoning buffer to zero feet along the west property line to allow for an entrance.

Commissioners also approved a request by Mutual Home Solutions to rezone five acres on Darnell Road for a nine-home residential development.
