Developer Withdraws Zoning Application

We actually succeeded. The Cherokee County Commission accepted the developer's withdrawal without prejudice. This means that the land owner can apply for a rezoning without waiting the customary 12 months after a denial. That's ok, we at least have a temporary victory. We are right where we were before the requested rezoning. Thanks to all that helped with this victory!!!

Meeting at Hickory Flat Library 6:30 PM, Monday February 13th

We will have a strategy session at the Hickory Flat Library at 6:30 pm. Please attend if you can.

Good News!!

The Planning and Zoning Committee denied the request for re-zoning the property to General Commercial. The vote appeared to be 8-1. Thanks to Michael, Wayne and Paul for the great presentations that they made.

We will inform you of what next steps are needed if any.

Hooray!!!

The Situation

J & J Construction is requesting a zoning change on Highway 140 near Reece Road to "General Commercial" and proposes a development having 26 buildings and 1400+ parking places.

1. Be at the public hearing. Let your voice be heard.
2. Start sendng some e-mails to all commissioners. We will increase the volume soon.
3. Send a letter to Chairman Mike Byrd (he does not read e-mails)
4. Make phone calls (or one to the secretary and ask to deliver message to all commissioners)
5. A small group meeting with Chairman Byrd, Derek, and/or Karen works good.
6. Go to the Reece Road Website on the right to find out how you can help
