Staff said the county received 12 proposals in response to RFQ 2437 and the highest‑ranked firm proposed design services with a fee of $3,783,755.50. The county's participation for the design phase is $400,000; staff said any amount above that remains the county's responsibility. Funds are available in SPLOST (each district reportedly has $2,000,000 available for the project).

Commissioners approved the recommendation and authorized staff to proceed with the negotiated design contract.

The first request covers property at 2251 Highway 42 North, about 3.6 acres, where the applicant sought annexation and a rezoning from County M‑1 (light manufacturing) to city O&I (office/institutional) for use as a specialty school. Planning staff noted the proposed change would authorize uses different from the county's current comprehensive-plan designation and highlighted that permit reviews processed by the city are not automatically shared with Henry County fire services.

The board objected to that annexation and rezoning; the motion to object carried. Planning staff recorded the county’s concern that annexation could allow future uses that would increase demands on county fire services and depart significantly from the county’s future land‑use map.

The board also objected to a separate annexation for property at 1448 and 1468 Flipping Road, approximately 21.771 acres. The applicant sought annexation and rezoning from county RA (residential agricultural) to city PUD (planned unit development) for a proposed development of 23 single‑family lots and 36 townhome units (59 units total) — a proposed density of about 7.3 dwelling units per acre. Planning staff said the requested change would raise allowable density above the county's medium‑density suburban designation and, as with the other request, create permit‑coordination and fire‑service concerns. Commissioners agreed with staff and voted to object.

The public transcript records motions and voice votes in favor of the staff recommendations; named individual vote tallies were not recorded in the public transcript.","Planning staff told the Henry County Board of Commissioners that two annexation requests by the City of Stockbridge would enable land uses and densities inconsistent with the county comprehensive plan and could impair fire‑service coordination; the board voted to object to both annexations.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6121568,"Henry County imposes 30-day moratorium on residential rezoning applications",488,2910000,3398000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2700929-a4c0dd7331d12a5ec24826654b55aa99&start=2910&end=3398","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2700929-a4c0dd7331d12a5ec24826654b55aa99/thumbnail_2910000.jpg","/articles/6121568/Henry-County/Georgia/Henry-County-imposes-30-day-moratorium-on-residential-rezoning-applications","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6121568-8fa2d45fd6a1f688ccace65fc4700d2a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161621&Signature=ZB8MOTzOCnN8GmvMI08sTEpRY7GxTNhimpBsDCGnH-DlhERZmnnZjKt7fs~KkrjzSEaKBN5b~6S~DqfUrBY1AvLOeGF6SL6hvepJZEI51M1Idxn3Fx0IgZztJ6-u~GS1YTLmi2QU~-R6-zP0NIMygvzaYTva5NfIL63KMYGB-9RnOMOFoZa0QB~DpkaGHJpg6gyo1sr6AjcSmfyrHrNcE7rnE4t0vG0w-IGtBeKosTBT33foTUukbH7AXoxOhgr-AqTJshbetKjOjWdEpRPEI2ZycwaaXWIIqQY-GkzSVP2mCesyyY5vfIA2GNtVzHNXCYRv2IhM-tStm1s0irGJAQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Henry County Board of Commissioners on March 18 approved a 30-day moratorium on accepting rezoning applications to residential zoning districts, effective immediately and set to expire at midnight on April 17 unless extended after a public hearing.

County staff told the board the temporary halt is intended to prevent a rush of applications that could evade forthcoming changes to the Unified Land Development Code being prepared with consultant TSW and to align zoning rules with the county's 2045 comprehensive plan. The moratorium applies only to applications seeking rezoning to residential districts as defined in the county's ULDC and does not affect nonresidential land-use applications.

Planning staff advised that already-filed and duly accepted applications with fees paid will continue through the review process and will be heard by the Zoning Advisory Board and the board of commissioners. Staff and at least one board member said roughly 30 to 40 residential rezoning applications were pending at the time of the vote.

The board planned a follow-up, law‑compliant public hearing on the topic at its regular meeting on April 15, 2025; staff was authorized to run the required legal ad. The resolution states the short moratorium may be followed by a longer moratorium after that public hearing, or be terminated earlier by board action.

No individual vote tally or named mover/second for the final motion was recorded on the public transcript; the board recorded the motion as approved.","The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted to impose a 30-day moratorium on accepting new rezoning applications to residential zoning districts while staff and consultants align the Unified Land Development Code with the county's 2045 comprehensive plan.","actionData","errors"]
