During a recent government meeting, significant discussions centered around case 2024-3-RLS, which involves a large-scale rezoning proposal in East Milton. Represented by Becky Cato, the case seeks to change the zoning designation from Agricultural Rural Residential (AGRR) to R1 Single Family Residential for a parcel located at 9565 Chimney Road. This area extends to Hay Meadow Road and Cotton Patch Lane.

The proposed amendment also includes a shift in future land use from Agricultural Rural Residential to Single Family Residential. Currently, the site is characterized by silviculture and a mix of vacant single-family agricultural properties, with institutional land to the north. Notably, part of the site lies within a military airport zone and a well field protection area, raising potential environmental and regulatory considerations.

The meeting also addressed the removal of another case related to the terminus of Gilman Road, which will not be discussed further. This decision may impact local stakeholders who had attended in anticipation of that discussion. The implications of the rezoning proposal are expected to be significant for the community, particularly regarding land use and development in the area.
