Heard County approves rezoning to let Franklin resident build barn and keep cattle
The Heard County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a request to rezone 15 acres on Star Point Road from rural development to agriculture to allow a new barn and cattle.

Jeff Langley requested the change during a public hearing, saying he intends to "build a barn and put cattle on this property." Chairman Lee Boone opened the hearing and noted the Planning Commission recommended the rezoning.

On the formal motion, Commissioner Keri Denney moved to accept the Planning Commission’s recommendation and Commissioner Joe Adams seconded. The board voted unanimously to approve the rezoning.

The decision implements the Planning Commission’s recommendation; no public opposition or additional conditions were recorded during the hearing. The next procedural step will be whatever administrative steps the county follows to record the zoning change and permit agricultural use, which were not specified in the meeting record.
