Bradford Road Rezoning in Berrien County, GA, Land Development Districts 2025-08-21

Thanks to Berrien County, Georgia, Zoning Administrator Teresa Willis for calling to discuss the proposed rezoning on Bradford Road.

She noted the current zoning is in the last map in the packet she previously sent:

Zoom in and look for the letters AU in black on the dark blue background. The entire area is zoned AU, which is for agricultural use.

She does not know what the proposed rezoning is, since the applicant has not sent further materials, and it is possible he may not do so until the day of the Planning Commission Public Hearing.

She said the housing subdivision he proposes does not necessarily require a rezoning. However, as I pointed out in the previous post, that would not really fit with the Comprehensive Plan.

She also sent an extract from the Berrien County Land Development Code with all the zoning district names. Continue reading →

Update 2025-08-01: Actually, they did send a zoning map, if you know how to look at it. Bradford Road Rezoning in Berrien County, GA, Land Development Districts 2025-08-21.

It’s not clear how none or more house lots of about 2.25 acres fit the Berrien County Comprehensive Plan Strategy for an Agriculture Character Area: “Preserve the rural/agricultural character of these areas by maintaining very low-density residential development primarily accessory to farm operations and large lot sizes.”

The Planning Commission Public Hearing is August 21, and the County Commission Public Hearing is September 2, both at 201 North Davis Street, Nashville, GA 31639.

A previous Public Hearing was mysteriously cancelled.

Yet we hear the developer had already commenced laying out lots. If that is true, it seems odd, to say the least.

There is a petition against this rezoning.

You can call or write Berrien County or come to the Public Hearings.

Speaking of which, what is the proposed rezoning? I thank Bradford County staff for sending the board packet in response to a WWALS Open Records request. But I don’t see in it any indication of what the proposed rezoning is. Nothing in the board packet says what is the proposed action.

I also do not see a zoning map, nor a future zoning map for after rezoning. And there is no zoning map on the Berrien County Commission website that I can find.

That board packet is on the WWALS website.
