The Henry County Zoning Advisory Board voted at its May 9 regular meeting to recommend approval of a rezoning request for 18.36 acres out of a 23-acre site at the northeast corner of Bowen Road and Hwy. 138, just west of Hwy. 155.
The proposed zoning change is from RA (residential agricultural) to R-2 (single-family residential) and the plan is for a 13-lot subdivision on the east side of Bowen Road. The request is within the current guidelines of the county’s future land use map, according to staff, which recommended several conditions should the request be approved. Each lot is to be a minimum of 30,000 square feet with at least 125 feet of road frontage, according to a representative of the developer. The county’s Department of Transportation recommended that 60 feet of right-of-way along Hwy. 138 be preserved as well.
The rezoning request will now be heard by the Henry County Board of Commissioners, probably in June.
