The Upson County Planning Commission in west central Georgia conditionally approved rezoning of a manufactured housing community (MHC) to allow the community to expand. The 51-acre site has been zoned legal nonconforming for single-family residential, but did not allow any new manufactured homes to come in, nor be replaced if damage to a home exceeded 50 percent. Owner Cheri Joiner wants to change the zoning to P-R residential development and then sell the property, according to thomastontimes.com. The planning commission’s conditions for approval include paving additional roads; paving resident and guest parking and pedestrian access walkways; and mapping common open space into the master plan. In addition, any changes to the road fronting the community will have to meet P-R zoning standards. MHProNews understands the request, with conditions, will now go before the Upson County Board of Commission. ##
