The Henry County Zoning Advisory Board voted Sept. 12 to approve a conditional use request for an applicant at 1751 East Atlanta Road who wishes to turn the existing house on that 3.4-acre property into a personal care home.

This is permitted by the Unified Land Development Code with a conditional use, according to county staff. The house would host up to six clients along with at least one staff member in the house around the clock, seven days a week, according to the applicant. All of the clients would be housed on the first floor and there are no plans to renovate the house. The applicant said he would be catering mostly to veterans who are 60 years of age or older. The applicant informed the board that the necessary septic work has already been taken care of.

No one at the meeting spoke in opposition to the conditional use request.
