Heard County commissioners approve two rezoning requests on Arrington Road and Highway 27

The Heard County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved two rezoning requests on April 27, 2021, closing the related public hearings and voting to allow changes on parcels on Arrington Road and Highway 27.

Mr. McKee requested that eight acres on Arrington Road be rezoned from Rural Development to Agricultural; the Board closed the public hearing after no members of the public spoke and later approved the request under new business. Zoning Administrator Macie Cassel explained the Highway 27 matter, saying the current landowner had not attended the Planning Commission meeting and that the Planning Commission had denied that application; the Board closed that public hearing as well and then approved the rezone on Highway 27.

Chairman Lee Boone presided over the hearings. Commissioners moved and seconded motions to close both hearings and to approve the rezones; recorded votes were unanimous. The transcript notes the rezone requests were brought before the Board via the Planning Commission process; details on parcel IDs, future land‑use conditions, or any required conditions of approval were not specified in the record.

The Board’s actions complete the local decision step recorded in the meeting minutes; any subsequent permits, building applications, or required text amendments must follow county zoning procedures and Planning Commission or staff review.
