Jason Whiddon, Coffee County Code Enforcement Director, presented a first reading on Aug. 4 for a rezoning request by Joel Scholten for 2.56 acres at 999 MJ McClelland Road. Whiddon said the requested zoning change is from R2 (Residential) to AG (Agriculture); Scholten told the board he plans to place a mobile home on the property. Whiddon noted the Planning Commission met July 28, 2025 and recommended approval; county staff also recommended approval.
Because the item was presented as a first reading, no final rezoning vote was recorded at the Aug. 4 meeting. The board did not take final action on the request during this session; any subsequent hearings or final votes will be scheduled according to county procedure.
During the same agenda item, Shannon Gregory of Satilla Riverkeeper invited the board and the public to a town hall meeting on Aug. 11, 2025 at the Waycross Auditorium.
Next steps: the rezoning request will return later in the process for any required second reading or final vote; members of the public were directed to follow the county’s planning process for comment and additional information.
