Oconee County Planning Commission Recommends Against Recreational Vehicle Storage Facility
Opponents jammed the meeting room, and 19 people spoke in opposition to the rezone request for the RV facility.
The Oconee County Planning Commission Monday night voted unanimously to recommend to the Board of Commissioners that it turn down a rezone request for a recreational vehicle storage facility at the corner of New High Shoals Road and Union Church Road.
The Planning Commission took the action after hearing from 19 people who spoke in opposition to the rezone request. No one other than the applicant’s agent spoke in favor.
Opponents packed the chamber of the Board of Commissioners, which seats nearly 70 persons, and spread out well into the Courthouse hallway beyond
In other action, the Planning Commission unanimously voted in favor of a request to rezone 14 acres at the corner of Jennings Mill Road and Virgil Langford Road for what is planned as Phase III of Three Sixteen Professional Quarter.
And the Commission approved by a split vote a request to divide 15 acres on SR 15 south of Watkinsville into two lots, one for a single-family home and the other for what had been built as a tenant house.
